BRUNSON BURNER: to NYK for 4yrs/$104M (no SnT) | NYK docked 2025 2nd for tampering

[Scott41theMavs]

With the new gen of uber talented players, the above proclamation means the clock has officially started before Luka asks to be out of here.

The clock is ticking for them to assemble the appropriate team. 

Do I believe that the Mavs have an FO capable of that? Not really. So in the end, that probably does mean Luka eventually leaves. My point is, I think there's a small chance he stays. I don't believe in Cuban at all, and Nico hasn't earned my trust, but I do trust Kidd's coaching, and I trust Luka and his dawgs (Dodo, Bullock, and perhaps Maxi). Perhaps the FO can luck into the complementary players that allow Luka to win his ring in Dallas. Of course, even if that happens, that doesn't ensure that Luka retires here.
