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.
That only path forward you outline, and zero offense to you, is merely spinning our tires in the mud. Again, I think Luka can easily see the shortcomings of this roster, especially when we match up with the elite teams like the Celtics of Cavs. He might not like it, but I think at this point he can understand it. At some point you need to rip the bandage off as the status quo of how the MBT have tried to build around him are surely going to lead to him asking out of this situation.
The easy solution to bottoming out is trading Dinwiddie.
