GET BEN!!!
Right there with you in terms of his overall talent and value. He's easily the most available superstar-talent type right now, and this could be a golden opportunity.
For him to be an elite fit with Luka, he'd need to have his head right with the idea that his career will transition away from a primary ball-handler role. Is he willing to set screens, rather than use them? Does HE believe it's time for him to defer to someone like Luka and figure out ways to make himself useful by playing off of that person?
If so, then yeah - all in on him. If not, it's another dead end, imo. The Mavs should be able to find out.
