Luka is driving everyone mad
A lot of things point towards that all this national actions are basically a vacation for Luka. Hanging out with friends, playing some ball. Even if our team gets the worst version of Luka, he is still by far the best player and team still by far better.
Of course this is driving the Slovenian fans mad, because they want the absolute best version of Luka, who is also totally locked in. More likely, we might see a subpar version of him. No one can be at 100 % 365 days per year. But, who knows, it might even work in a very short tournament like this qualifications. Not so sure about the olympic tournament, though, if they qualify.
On the other hand, Mavs fans are mad because there are a ton of reasonable arguments he should rest and prepare for next season.
Honestly I'm probably in the minority of wanting Luka to play for his national team, because it's obviously very important for him. I will say though Slovenia has it cut out for them in this qualification tournament. They have to get through Croatia (who is no slouch) and New Zealand (a bit easier), and if they do then they have the honor of facing Greece.
If Luka can get through that on 1 leg, then its just some more Luka Magic to add to his lore.
