1) Luka can ask, but he is under contract for four more seasons. He can pound sand and be patient as far as I am concerned. It is for his good. He should work on improving himself while the Mavs fix the talent issue (and coaching).
2) With that said, getting the LAL picks does NOT mean punting on this season necessarily. Those picks could be flipped for players this deadline.
3) I truly think this move is more likely to cause Luka to leave DAL than he was before. This is the single most risky thing I could possibly imagine the Mavs doing. They are playing Russian roulette with five bullets in the chamber.
