We've talked a ton around here about how difficult it is to get into rhythm on offense with one guy monopolizing the ball for 20 seconds of every 24-second shot clock.
Personally, I'm happy the Mavs are out from under that style of play (though I wish they had a little more skill with the ball to replace Luka).
I get that. But the biggest takeaway for me might be that this is pretty damaging to Luka and there's no way LeBron is back with the Lakers this season with this getting out there.
