The solution is Luka just averages 40. Maybe the calculation is that Luka will score 65% of the time on that play vs 70% plus if you give up the lob. It’s a pick your poison thing so not really a problem as long as Luka reads the floor right. The actual problem is the loss of DJJ, who can play the 4, Maxi’s injury, whatever is wrong with PJ (hip?), and Naji not having much of an interior defensive presence. OMax will actually get an opportunity I think to step up into the defend every position, protect the paint, protect the perimeter role that DJJ had last year. Or maybe the Mavs will have another trade in them.
