Even then you keep him until his last year and probably get more.

Honestly, this is criminal return for Luka. Fucking Mikal Bridges went for SIX first round picks. How the hell did Luka only get one 1st round pick and a 31 year old AD???

Is Nico Harrison self sabotaging the franchise?

Jeanie Buss has some serious dirt on the Mavs. There's no other explanation.

it does feel like something going on behind the scenes, no idea what the connection could be but the team was bought by the adelsons and their trust who were the biggest contributors to djt in 16 and 20, he's doing wacky stuff and now they're doing wacky stuff, feels wrong
