Whew

Probably just run it back, me thinks.

Re-sign Brunson, hope Hardaway Jr. returns to form, get a center through the draft/free agency (Bamba? Hartenstein?).

Luka at the Boys and Girls Club in Greenwich, CT 3 years from now.

Decision Part II….

But this time it’s the Knicks

Luka def going to a big city if Mavs keep losing. Europeans love NYC and LA

Chicago got Slovenians?

NOPE

But NYC does. They have everybody.

There has to be a “Little Slovenia” somewhere

Honestly thing the Euro guys care less about what NBA city they play in than American guys do. None of the places are “home” for them anyway.

Not real but wouldn’t be surprised,

I think the Nod going to Tatum or Embiid

Very true however Luka will be the exception to that rule.

He wasn’t playing ball at a small club in the second division somewhere like Jokic or Giannis were.

He was raised at the biggest club in the world. Real Madrid are glitz and glamour bro.

He’s not like the rest of the Euro guys. He’s different.

Luka will be a Laker one day. He might be in his mid-30s with a double chin, but he'll be a Laker.

Considering he’s already occasionally rocked the double-chin in his 20s, you better hope it’s not a triple by the time he gets to The Show

Interesting typo on Bullock’s name there by Callie

Theo Pinson is a legend. Brings positivity everywhere.

Knicks fans staying clinging to the hope someone else’s superstars will get fooled into thinking that cesspool of a franchise is a destination.

Stop it.

Stop it.

A Superstar will make the move one day. You’ll see.

As for Luka tho. He will absolutely leave the Mavs in the future IF the the front office doesn’t handle their business.

Whether it’s NY, LA, etc, idk - Don’t think just because he’s European he’ll just stay loyal like Dirk did (along with other Euros).

Luka is DIFFERENT.

I don’t disagree. They’re going to have to keep showing him they can fill in around him.

No player should be loyal to anyone just for the sake of being loyal. For what?

Making the right moves is obviously its own challenge, but there’s no doubt in my mind the Mavs will do everything in their power to figure it out and give Luka every reason to stay.
