Within that happiness (which is not mutually exclusive), I have been frustrated that Luka has not been taking care of his body like an elite professional. I believe Luka's conditioning has really hampered the Mavs success the last two seasons compared to what it could have been with him in top shape. I think Luka's ceiling is top 3 all-time, even challenging for the GOAT (!!!). So I am going to root for him to get THERE and not settle for him barely tapping into his full potential.
But none of those sentiments takes away from the fact that I am a happy, happy, happy Mavs fan!
After i see the Kings name on the list i stopped reading.
Let's be realistic, if it wasn't for Brunson situation, we would be the 1 on the list, but i still have us in top 10.
I agree with Luka challenging the goat, but i think main questions there is, can Dallas provide Luka supporting cast needed to build the dynasty. And if Cuban is willing to pay that.
Even if i agree with you about shape, speaking in the goat converastion i think main check points are:
1. Winning multiple championships without creating own superteams.
2. Being loyal to a franchise who drafted you (that's the check).
3. Core of the roster creating your own players and players who put franchise on the first place and player himself in the first place. (Currently the check, despite Brunson leaving).
