I'm out on the 2023-24 season ....

The folks who think getting rid of Luka will help should go back and watch the games from 2016 and 2017 and then come back to this thread.

This team wasn't a contender going into it but the basketball is slightly better than last year and the asset management in light years ahead of last year.  This team was always going to be a 41-43 win team, it's weird that losing to arguably the best team in the league has people up in arms.

This board may explode if they lose the next 2.  Tonight will be very tough but it's a better matchup for us than the Celtics.

This doesn't have anything to do with the last few games. It's just overall frustration building up from the Luka years. I personally don't enjoy watching him play and that isn't going to change without a different system. He's an improved prime Harden. That isn't going to win championships. Until someone can reign him in and make him play team basketball where everyone is involved, this team will never win a title. I would have zero problems if the Mavs traded Luka tomorrow. I'm not going to get into everything I dislike about Luka because it's been covered pretty well in this thread. He will be a top 10 talent of all time when it's over, but he'll have zero championships if he continues playing iso hero ball.
