If I am GM...I am not catering to Luka specific players. Its have well rounded bball skills or nothing.
I dont want a guy that cant do anything but shoot...just because he fits in the Luka system.
Give me guys that can dribble, pass, have good hands, decent defender, decent shot mechanics, decent feel for game.
I get that Luka can get guys open shots...they need to hit them. I get that Luka's system looks more polished in the Playoffs and I like it.
But this team needs consistent bball players with well rounded bball skills. Every other team has them...so no excuses.
Im out on my second star being a part time empoyee as well. Im all for load management for older stars...but our team needs guys on the floor.
I totally agree Mavs need better player. Well, one might be actually enough.
Key question: do Mavs play "the Luka system" because he doesn't want to play anything else or because the roster quality doesn't allow them to play anything else?
Wasn't Luka the one who pushed Mavs for another star and signed off Kyrie trade? We could also see him make many adjustments while Kyrie was healthy in the first part of the season.
Personal opinion: exactly why I was so much pro bringing in Siakam, despite his poor shooting that doesn't fit "the Luka system". He would give them an actual ability to play something else. Players like GW trying to play something else unfortunately usually ends in a disaster.
