It's April 2023 now.
The Mavs could not even qualify for the play-in tournament in a rundown Western Conference. Luka is depressed. Fans now spend their time on Tankathon praying they remain within the top 10 because this lottery ticket may just be the franchise's last gasp to keep Luka in a Mavs jersey for a third contract.
Mavs lost a good chunk of their assets for a malcontent rental who will walk for nothing unless the Mavs overpay this malcontent well into his mid-30s. Furthermore, the Mavs have several other holes including plethora of wing rotation players, an able big, and someone who can culturally lead the team.
Meanwhile, the overpaid, overrated, and AWFUL fit next to Luka in Jalen Brunson just led his Knicks team to a convincing 4-1 series win with a puncher's chance to make the NBA Finals.
Everything is fine.
