These are interesting questions, all centered on the same theme: the confluence of star power and team management.
My take is that Cuban’s relational style of management will not allow Luka to become disgruntled. In other words, Luka will never have to demand things because he’ll feel included, to the extent he wishes to be, in the decision process.
I also think Cuban is too smart to let a player run the team. It isn’t working for either LA team. It won’t work here. It’s dumb. So if it ever comes to that, Luka will be traded. But that would be a colossal fail, so they’ll be working every day to maintain a Dirk-like relationship with the kid.
I do think we’ll end up with another Duffy client each year from now until who knows when. Frank Kaminsky and Zach LaVine seem like real possibilities this offseason.
