A terrible coach, imo, so it’s tough to pin it all on Luka, but I for one thought he was underwhelming through most of that playoff run, especially in the finals. Even that is fine, if it’s a learning experience, but I just never got the feeling anything would be that for Luka. If I’m being honest, I was losing hope.
Still wouldn’t have even occurred to me to trade him, to be clear.
He was injured. A lot of that because of bad conditioning, but he still willed the Mavs to the Finals with his WCF performance.
Don't expect the Mavs to ever reach that point again in our lifetimes. A bad franchise run by bad, incompetent people, and is now known for being disastrously disloyal to its franchise players. Dirk was at the Lakers opener. It can't be overstated how over it is for this team.
