[mavsluvr]

With Luka the average of opponents winning percentages (discounting games against the Mavs) is 46.9%.
Without Luka the average of opponents winning percentages (discounting games against the Mavs) is 57.3%.

Well, if you want to go in that direction -- 

With Luka, the Mavs are winning 57% of their games (more than the 53% that opponent winning percentage would predict).

Without Luka, the Mavs are winning 36% of their games (less than the 43% that the opponent winning percentage would predict). 


My point isn't that people can't cobble together some stats to try to make it look like Luka isn't contributing much, or might even be dragging this band of merry men down. It is that even the stats being offered don't actually show that, the whole premise doesn't pass the smell test, and the most important thing is that the Mavs are a winning team with Luka and a losing team without him. 

Haters gonna hate. (Not accusing you in particular, BTSO).
