MAVS NEWS: D-Live's Mom Passes Away | Nico Gets Extension

[KillerLeft]

I was just asking if anyone had heard any news on that front from anywhere. I agree that Luka's attitude is to play, and so from a reality standpoint that's end of discussion, its moot. 

But, I do not assume that a team isn't stupid enough to risk a player's health. I just hope Kidd or someone is looking out for his interests as much as Nellie did Dirk back in the day.

Yes, this was the exact situation I was thinking of. My thinking is that Kidd is even MORE protective of his players than Nellie was, based on that Brunson nugget and a few other things he has said over the past few years, but it's all just speculation on my part. 

I'd also like to think that Cuban has learned enough since back then to have a more realistic view of his team's chances to win the title and a star player's injury within that context, but that, too, is speculation.
