Fun Fact; The Mavs subreddit is turning against Luka for being so out of shape to the point he’s clearly laboring in second half’s of games.
Can’t say I don’t blame them. Dude was rocking a double chin last I saw him. Imagine if he had even a fraction of the desire of a MJ or LeBron.
It's 2023. 5 years since you know what happened you know when.
We actually had a better record than the Mavs in 2018-2019 and it's looking increasingly like we will finish ahead of them this year. They are 1-5 with Luka and Kyrie sharing the court. 1 game over .500 and in 7th now. I don't see any reason for Luka to be loyal to the Dallas franchise and at this point I wonder if he does an AD rather than waits until he's unrestricted.
The three seasons between 2019 and 2022 felt like an eternity. We still lost out on watching a generational talent on our court for 5+ seasons. But damn, what a soul crushing end this would be if it happened here. Probably why Vlade is happy to come to games again.
eta: found the reddit thread. ouch. It feels like Boogie era Kings over there, with maybe a touch of Boogie vs. IT or even Peja vs. Webber. Lots of Kyrie fans in there already. And of course Cuban is now an idiot and Kidd sucks (that part may be true).
