I just don't understand. Future is further away and lots of things could happen. Perhaps Nico is right and Luka will be injured more than playing. Who knows. Everyone can be smart about the future and there is really no way to tell who is right with all those hypothetical things that could or could not happen. But Mavs better now, this season? No way... At least we will know in a couple of months who was right about that.
Oh yeah I got what you were putting down. And I agree. I just don't see the Mavs as a playoffs team anymore. They are probably on the outside looking in on the damn play-in at this point!
Meanwhile, Luka is Luka. He dragged Trey Burke, Reggie Bullock, Dwight Powell, and THJ to the playoffs before. I think the Lakers are poised to upset some people now.
And I will be rooting for Luka every step of the way.
As to why the pundits are talking up the Mavs? No clue. I think just for ratings and to try and quell the fans to no avail. This was such a grotesque highway robbery that we have literal protests in Dallas right now.
