Good post!
Two factors here - 1) As I've said since the summer league last year, this young man's learning curve BBIQ is off the charts - we're talking 99th percentile; and 2) his mentor is Tyson Chandler, the freaking Yoda of defensive captaining.
Something that I feel has been completely ignored over the past three months - with the acquisition of Kyrie - then Lively - then PJ, I believe that the entire narrative of "the clock is ticking for the Mavs to put a team around Luka so he doesn't demand a trade" is absolutely six feet under. How freaking **********HUGE********** is that?
