Cracks me up, when people always give other (succesful) franchises the advice that it´s over, they need to rebuild and just give the Mavs their best players. Turner and Sabonis are 25. LeVert is 26. Warren is 27. Brogdon is 28. They are all on the same timeline. They won 39 games (adjusted for 82 games), while Warren missed 68 games, Turner missed 36 games, Levert/Oladipo missed 36 games, Lamb missed 36 games, Brogdon missed 16 games, Sabonis missed 10 games. You can argue they need to due to fit etc.
I wonder whether there is a Pacers fan out there saying: Kleber, THJ, DFS, Burke are so much older than Luka. Brunson plays the same position. Porzingis is injury-prone. Mavs just need to be real about it. Time to re-build around Luka.
