NBA did a mini docuseries on several players this year. Luka was one of them. We see a lot of the same stuff from previous years, but there is plenty of behind the scenes footage from this year. Some interesting moments (especially the game vs. the Bucks this year).
Great watch.

Thanks for the link. Very good watch. In my mind it emphasizes how Luka needs to play lose and free...happy...in order to perform best. Hopefully we'll see that next year.
Yeah...I'm an incurable Mavs homer...
...and we have maybe one of the best players ever on our team.

Same here. This video really emphasizes Luka's desire to play with joy. He needs to have fun in order to play his best.
I'm going to tack on a hidden goal for the Mavs this year to find players that make Luka have fun. Not sure who they are, but hopefully the guys hanging around him everyday have a good idea.

Maybe they'll stop screwing around and sign Dragic this time.

Ah...I have always wanted the Mavs to sign Dragic. But...since they've been kicking this "sign Dragic" can down the road for the last 16 years (or thereabouts) I doubt it.
On the other hand: the Mavs do have a habit of signing their man after it's too late. Dragic has to be about 50 by now...
I would still take him...
I think Luka would like having Dragic on the team.

I think Luka and the team just had a tough year. They need to resign KY and just get some guys in there that play better with Luka and KY. Dwight Powell is not a starting center in this league. They realistically need to get a couple of wings and a 5 and they are in business.
Legler: "If Luka wins this year, against a healthy Celtics team, at his age, the league is in trouble."

We'll see about the In Business part. This team is so unpredictable now, it ain't even funny. Especially with Cuban and Nico steering the ship and Kidd being HC. I would say I'm cautiously optimistic.
