It won't matter if the Mavs have Luka or not, so push all your chips in on this year or next. If that reasoning is true it couldn't be more flawed.
Should the rest of the Western Conference throw in the towel too? Should Denver mortgage their future because OKC will be too good? Golden State? And most interesting, what about the Lakers themselves?
Someone please tell me. Who is the Mavs' third best player who makes them so much better with Kyrie + AD than the Lakers were with Lebron and AD?
Does Nico think Kyrie is that much better than Lebron?
Does Nico think PJW is that much better than Reeves?
Does Nico think the Mavs collection of roll playing wings is that much better than the Lakers collection of role playing wings?
The only real difference I see is the Mavs have two rim rolling centers. But you saw last night it only took about 48 hours for the Lakers to go get a player that's similar in Mark Williams. And as good as Williams has looked at times in Charlotte, something tells me he's going to look better in LA.
The Mavs went to the Finals and Skin wants me to believe they traded their best player, a homegrown icon, because Nico is scared of the Thunder and Spurs? Just insane.
It wouldn't surprise me. That's just extremely faulty thinking. That's not good team building. I'm disgusted at the cowardice it takes to even consider that.
Find me at Lakersball.com. I'm done with the Nico and the Mavs.
