So, we can plot and plan for months thinking we have Kemba and the next thing you know Boston looks much better (for a variety of reasons)I think there is something to this.
We all love Dallas, for good reasons. It's a great city, and the team has had stars that could make free agents look better on the court. But I think that most NBA players do not regard Dallas as any sort of glamor destination. Not a bad place, but not a particularly desirable one, either.
The Mavs were comfortable blowing up the 2011 team, thinking that Dirk would be a draw, but he wasn't. Now they are saying that Luka will be a draw. On paper, it looks like he should, but we'll have to see how that plays out.
