MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[KillerLeft]

I just think we get your point, acknowledge it, but don’t share your pessimism. Most think Luka will sign his extension and the Mavs will not be a lottery team contender with him on the court.

Also, the alternative was to do nothing.

Doing nothing could be just as worrisome.

We like the new look Mavs and understand what the cost of doing business is.

I do agree that if Luka resigns here they will not be a lottery team and those picks will be pretty low. I’m not entirely sure where the optimism that he will do so comes from, Especially after living through the Brunson situation as we all just have, but I hope you guys are right, obviously. 

I will not give on this: Doing nothing is very obviously NOT worse than doing something stupid. Sometimes inaction is the best thing. I’m not even really saying that I would have done nothing, and for the one millionth time, this is not about the players they got, both of whom I like. In fact, I think I like PJ Washington better than any single person reading this. 

I’m just freaked out about the future. I want to continue to enjoy the Mavericks after Luka is gone. Look at it this way: the great Sam Presti, whom all of you worship, is so sure Luka will be gone from here by 2028 that he just let go of a whole first round pick to help Dallas…just to get that pick swap. It is a very good gamble for him.

I’m kind of surprised I’m the only one freaking out about this. You guys realize they STILL owe New York for Kristaps Porziņģis, right? That experience hasn’t left anyone but me gun shy about trading these picks way down the road?
