What I find truly ironic is that some people seem to think this development should somehow reassure us about Luka's future in Dallas.
I think it's exactly the opposite. I think the odds that Luka stays in Dallas when his rookie extension expires took a pretty significant hit today. Long time between now and then, so a ton of things can change, but if I'm the Mavs I feel like the only shot I have is not only to be competitive by then (easily doable) but to be one of the 2-3 absolute national favorites to win the title (very, very difficult).
