TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Mavs2021]

If we go 15-39 the rest of the way then I'd bet good money on Luka asking to be traded this offseason.  I just still don't understand how you keep justifying the idea that Luka would be ok with this with the temper tantrums he's been throwing in losses over the last few weeks.

On paper tanking always looks great.  In reality these are professional athletes, not just assets you get to play around with.

So what. He´s under contract till 2026. It´s called being a professional. Time heals all wounds. Better he throws his tantrum now than in two years.

Also kind of funny that you refer to players being treated as assets being a problem. Aside of me agreeing/disagreeing that this is bad behaviour, the Mavs have treated players like sh*t for decades from Tyson Chandler to JJB Barea to Harrison Barnes and Jalen Brunson. Only players they "treat well" are those they money-whip, so they simply cannot say no to the stupid offers they receive like Parsons, Matthews, Jordan or McGee.
