This is the bottom line. Luka and KP are great, but they are no LeBron and Davis. Or Kobe and Shaq. They might become, but this will take quiet a few seasons.
Before that day comes (I believe it will): Mavs need a third star. With the third star, Dallas can and might win the championship this season. Richardson is a very nice piece and our third best player, but not a weapon that wins games consistently and especially in playoffs.
Mavs have the superstar, and the star, and the bench and the depth. Need that third star.
Something worth mentioning, is that by contending sooner rather than later with the third star, this will help Luka and KP to get to that day faster. They need to get closer to the finals.
