Game 59 Now A Game Thread: Mavs(31-27) at Lakers(34-21), 9:00 PM Central Time

I disagree that the Adelmans have wisely saved money on an overweight pseudo-superstar.

Two reasons (at least): I don't think Luka is as overweight as some people think. I do believe he has some physical problems that require physical therapy. But more importantly he has some mental problems that require therapy and a support group he respects.
And there is nothing psuedo about Luka. He is the genuine article. A superstar--who has the POTENTIAL to be even better in the future.

And...now, and over the years, the Adelmans will be losing far more money than they theoretically may have saved by avoiding the supermax.

My honest emotions watching the Mavs versus Luka? I am torn, confused, conflicted--whatever you want to say. I will naturally root for the Mavs to win. I will also root for Luka to play well.

I also think Luka was shocked and hurt by the trade. It was a stupid trade...and Nico got a stupid return out of the trade. I'm still pissed off and will be for years to come.
