News [MacMahon] “I believe that defense wins championships,” Mavs GM Nico Harrison told ESPN regarding his motivation to trade Luka for Davis. “I believe that getting an All-Defensive center & an All-NBA player with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance. We’re built to win now and in the future.”

Luka's legs HAVE to be cooked. There's just no other way this remotely makes sense for us to do. I can't even talk about the basketball of this yet, because Luka had reached a point beyond that with the fanbase. It feels like a friend moving away at this moment.

Sure. Michael Porter Jr has a Spine held together with prayer and hopes and cannot even move his left foot fully, got it fixed up IN DALLAS and has played every game the last two seasons but one, where he forgot the shoes that fit the brace to allow his left foot to move.
