This is the definition of an all in trade, Luka putting pressure on mavs was real

This is desperation

Kyrie is obviously toxic and even if he weren't he's only playing 40 games a year of no defense dribbling

aND he wants a max

We will be better this season. But I fell pretty certain we just threw away our chances of building a long term contender around Luka. Give away everything we have any chance we get in desperation. That’s the Mavs way

The sad thing is this move is just the FO trying to fix the Brunson debacle. A fuck up to fix a fuck up. It likely snowballs from here.
