Change has to come from Cuban

[cow]

It's not "positive in the long run" when your second best player, someone YOU drafted (a great pick, btw) and groomed, is dying to get away from your team. It's an eye-brow raising thing that sends a pretty poor signal about what's to come, imho.

After drafting Jalen, the Mavs did everything possible to botch his outlook long term but that has to do with Mark Cuban being the smartest guy in the room.  Luka might make a similar decision but the road to that decision will be completely different from Jalen's.
