The Mavs are a bit disappointing so far in terms of their success level given how great their star player is. Most teams with a Luka quality player are winning 50-60 games by now. The Mavs need to get their stuff together.
I do agree with this. Its just such a contrast to see 4 rookies play next to him that play at the G-league level. WCS that doesnt know how to finish at the rim being completely open for a layup or dunk. A KP that is great, but coming back from injury and not playing his best.
Its a dangerous situation long term, the Mavs need to turn into clear contender in order to make sure Luka can see the bright future here. He is a lot more loyal, much more as Dirk, rather than as Lebron or Durant etc. etc. But still, he is a winner and I think he hates to lose.
Getting a third star can make things much more stable long term. Make sure we are clear cut contenders and that Luka preserves some energy for the playoffs.
