TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[StrandedOnBeauboisHill]

I see Luka's defeated body language as a sign he knows this team can't compete and while he might not knows the ins and outs of roster building and a salary cap, it is the perfect opportunity to sit him down and explain the best path forward is a reset.  

Do I think that is something Cuban will embrace?   Absolutely not.

Luka is a very immature child out there still (and it’s becoming a huge problem honestly, you think free agents want to play with the guy who dribbles the ball for 20 seconds, doesn’t get back on defense and blames his teammates after?). This is his body language when his team is middle of the pack, you think he’s going to be cool with someone saying we need to totally bottom out right now? It’s just not in his DNA. If Luka gets a high ankle sprain or has to sit out a ton of games then sure, let’s sell off everything and start Hardy and Green the rest of the season but until this happens, the only path forward is trying to make some moves around the edges of this roster and make a big splashy move this offseason to find a costar that works. For better or worse.
