DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[Mavs2019]

I don't see us winning it all with Luka having such a high usage rate.

MJ led the NBA in usage rate in FIVE of the six seasons they won the title, averaging around 33 in usage over those six title seasons. MJ had a playoff usage rate between 35.5 and 38.0 for FOUR of the six title runs. 

Luka had a usage of 36.8 this season and 37.5 in the playoffs. If anything Luka maybe needs a slight down tick in usage in the regular season to save his body, but his high usage rate is what will cause the Mavs to have success. You don't take the ball away from someone with such elite efficiency.

Not arguing here, but what are the usage for recent championships stars? Lebron? Curry? Kawhi? KD?  
I am genuinely curious 

Also, can Luka keep healthy uncle and improve defense with such work load on offense?

Fantastic auto-correct.

Luka´s usage is too high. Let´s not forget, he got a huge mid-season break. Normally he´d have pulled a Harden and been completely exhausted by the start of the play-offs. DeRozan could certainly take a load off him. He´d also bring a similar game, in that he thrives in the lane/mid-range area and is a better play-maker than anybody on our current roster. We have a lot of dunking and 3pt shooting, but outside of Luka, maybe Seth/Brunson (who are always in danger of getting blocked due to their size), we have nobody that can operate in between.
