For me, this isn't revisionist history or buying the FO narrative.
I had a rant on this very forum about how "I cannot stand Luka Doncic" just last year. He is the biggest crybaby in the entire NBA. Doing dollar signs at the refs when he has a bad game is unacceptable. I don't think he is a bad human being. He just behaves like an impulsive teenager.
I dont think he's been criticized enough because he's this adorable European kid. I brought up several times the criticism James Harden faced. Harden's behavior was never this bad.
TBH, I'm surprised at the number of 40+yr old fans who were in love with him. I always assumed it was the younger generation and European fans that idolized him.
I probably would have given him until he was 27-28 to see if he matured. But you have to give him the $350 million dollar contract this summer. And then if you have a fat, immature, injured athlete like Joel Embiid making $350 million, can you still move him for assets in two years?
