I don't think Luka would respond like I wrote but I also think Mavs are not in a position to make any threats against Luka. Not the way they are handling their business. I also think any threats from their way would not be welcome and would be a step closer to separation.
Huh. Maybe this is a language preference thing. I don't think of "that's unacceptable" as a threat. I mean, that's not the language I would use, but I don't think it's a threat. But, ok, I understand your response now.

They put themselves in a position where they can only be quiet and attend to every Luka need as they are doomed if he asks out. A position that is neither good for Luka nor them.
A front office can't operate this way

Has to have some effect, right?
I think so. I've thought about this but haven't seen us discuss it much.
