Absolutely right that Luka makes his teammates better. THJ is a...good...NBA...starter on this team. The guy we had to take to get KP is actually really good. I don't think he will opt out bc he will actually do better to get another good year under his belt in 2020 and then head into a big FA year after rehabbing his image.
I think THJ has done so well that if a team said hey we'll give you an expiring contract to take on THJ and his money the Mavs will not take it. I also believe that this is the guy you are going to see the rest of the year. He is not going to be great every game and that's okay. Mavs are deep enough that someone else will pick up the slack the nights THJ is off. We might be seeing a trend tho that he is going to have more games where he is on than when he's off which would be huge. At this point for the forseeable future I think THJ would be hard to upgrade.
