TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Nowitzki Way]

Not blasting you or anyone who agrees but you hang up the phone easily for any of these packages and then some. We've got a potential top 10 player of all time whos 23. When given the slightest bit of help he took us to the WCF. 

If we can just surround him with a top half of the league supporting cast he's taking us to the finals almost every year in the west. The league for the next decade should be Luka vs Giannis. Only MBT stands in the way.

Completely agree 110% on why you SHOULDNT trade a guy like Luka in his prime. Really he's not even in his prime yet. 

But my ONLY reason would be that history repeats itself. Its in your last sentence. "Only MBT stands in the way". We never REALLY got Dirk the help he needed. I'm not sure there has ever been another team win a Championship with 1 superstar and really good role players. That is exactly what Cuban and co. are trying to do with Luka.

Dirk was loyal. Luka will not be. We keep this up and he's requesting a trade in 2 years. And when his contract is up he's wearing a Lakers, Knicks, or Celtics uniform. 

Any thought of a trade for Luka would be because we couldn't create a championship roster around him.
