Kawhi is all but certain to miss next year, but the year after that the Mavs will have paired 2 of the best playoff performers of the last 10 years together. Instant title favorites, even if Kawhi takes a step back.
Given how Luka is guaranteed to be here another 6 years, I don't mind punting 1 of them to make sure the next 5 we have a bonafide 2-way superstar next to him even with all the health concerns.
Even if Kawhi asked out of here after a couple of years, the haul the Mavs would get back, would make Presti blush. Enough to keep Luka in nice things for his career here.
