Not the part about Dallas having interest in him but the part about him having zero interest in us. While we hype ourselves how close to contending are we, an all nba player doesn't like his ring chances if he comes to Dallas.
Can I unlike this? (Because it is spot on and I don't like that.)
I'm pretty sure we are not a first grade contender as we are constructed today.
But with CP3 fitting in and being his last season self and a good MLE-signing we would be.
There are many reasons for him not to join us. It's not just his chances of a ring.
That's why we have to find the guy who wants to be here.
So, the good news is that our generational talent is 21 years old.
The bad news is that our generational talent is 21 years old.
Everyone should go look at guys like Lebron, MJ, Kobe, etc, and see how long it took them to A) make the playoffs. B) win the championship. It's going to take longer than some think. The Mavs will very likely not be true contenders before Luka signs his extension. That's just how it is, my dudes.
What I find concerning about the CP3 thing, if true, is that it would mean the Mavs really want to find a shortcut. What could a 38 year old possibly have in common with a 21 year old, and why would you want a guy who NEEDS the ball to play with a guy who NEEDS the ball? I've been all about a secondary playmaker, but I'm starting to wonder if the Mavs literally want a POINT GUARD. I, personally, love Luka playing the PG position.
