Mavs have a leadership problem | Cuban and Harlabob argue on Twitter

[Kammrath]

If we do not honestly assess and see how much Luka's play, immaturity, and conditioning is hurting the ceiling and performance of this team, then we will be inclined to look for answers and solutions in the wrong place. That is, other players, coaches, and managers will be blamed and/or scapegoated unfairly (or disproportionately). We need to correctly assess how much of this is on Luka so that we do not wrongfully blame Kidd, Nico, Cuban, KP, DFS, DP, etc. 

A quick example of this:

I think I wrongly placed some of what I now see as "Luka issues" at the feet of RC the last couple years. But now with RC gone and things not any better I am realizing I misplaced some of that blame and responsibility (sorry RC!). I think it would be easy to continue to give Luka a free pass and now blame Kidd or Cuban for stuff, but I am personally seeing that maybe a lot more of the issues are on Luka than I realized over the last 3 years.

Again, that does not excuse the organization, which OBVIOUSLY has its fair share of dysfunction and issues. But I think I would be much more confident in saying...

"Luka is in danger of ruining Luka" than I would in saying "the Mavs are in danger of ruining Luka."
