Have to agree here. I picked up a pair about a month ago and they've been some of the comfiest playing sneakers.

They fugly though.

The reverse orca's and matador red are fire imo. The other colorways kind of scream middle schooler to me. 

Try them on and see the comfort though, they really are great shoes at that price point.

He needs to bet Luka money that he can't make FTs in the last 5 mins of the game.

Jordan brand is so meh to me.

I've always felt like his free throws are a little too flat. Dunno if it would be worth spending an off season practicing putting more arc on them, he clearly can do it at will on his normal field goal shots. He's addressed a lot of things in Dirk like fashion from his rookie season (mid range shots in particular), but there's gotta be a strategy to look at what he can do with his free throws in the off season. I think he has said in interviews it's all mental, but there's gotta be some mechanical tweaks that could be looked it.

I remember a story last month after one of these horrible FT shooting games that he stayed in the arena and immediately worked on shooting FTs. Up until lately, his FT shooting took a big turn for the better. Coincidence or has he stopped working on them?

Would that be enough to break Cuban?

I don't think so. I think we'd see the narrative be pushed away from the Mavs' failures and toward "he was never going to finish his career in Dallas anyway" just like what happened with Brunson. Many will even vilify Luka if/when this happens and some will even have a full-on rationalization for why they're right to pin the blame on him. 

Hopefully it doesn't come to that. Hopefully they figure all this out and he's happy here.
