One of the local radio hosts (he used to work for the Cowboys) said yesterday that he’s hearing the Mavs didn’t trade Luka because he was out of shape. More so they were tired of dealing with him and his people.
Sounds like raw conjecture to me, of someone looking for "the real reason" that no one else knows (because they arent satisfied by what we are hearing) And I don't really buy their theory as pointing to something that really matters (even if they indeed didn't like Lukas peeps) because you would always cater to your meal ticket, as long as you believe in his ability to continue to excell.
I do think we will have a better understanding as we see what happens over the next year or two. Nico thought a fall off is looming, one significant enough that he was essentially in "You'll thank me later" mode. As we see things unfold, he'll either be right or wrong.
