If Luka looked like that, we wouldn't have been StreakBusters, but StreakMakers
Thank God the WCS era is over. I cannot fucking believe we picked up his team option in the first place.

Why wouldn't we? We were over the cap, and his salary was useful for trade matching at TDL. There was no downside except a few million out of Cuban's pocket.

His salary was as useful as the player himself as evidenced by him being waved. The fact we gave him a contract in the first place is still ridiculous.
DFS dresses better than he plays.......

That's a good point that I think is often overlooked (at least by me). I got so used to past teams always full of vets that I forget this team is really young.
Remember when "young" on the Mavs meant someone that was 26?
This is the starting lineup I’ve been waiting to see! This lineup should feature KP/Luka in a pick and roll along with a secondary ball handler in Brunson. Kleber and DFS for 3 and D. IMO this is what we should roll with over the next several weeks up to the trade deadline to see and KP/Luka can work together. If not then KP needs to go. KP is a good player maybe even an ALL-Star. But if he can’t/won’t play pick and roll with Luka then we need to find a big who can or will.
The Twitter thread on WCS is filled with folks from other teams begging to sign him. Regardless of how you do in one place, a 7ft defensive guy will keep getting chances somewhere else. Hope it works out for him and more importantly hope everything is alright with him.
