Again, if Cuban and the management believe that they can get good return for Luka, they should trade him. In Europe players are changing clubs all the time. I don't understand why Luka had to be in Mavs 10 years, if things are not working.
Didn't mention trading Luka 1x and said not to trade him earlier.

Luka criticism seems to be doing something to you.

Its the poor side of Europe sticking up for each other. We didnt get the same reaction from the classy side of Europe when people criticized Dirk for his D back then. Now you criticize one guy from the poor side of Europe and they all get their panties in a ball.


Which poor side? :lol: The quality of living for many is pretty good here. ;)

I explained to you. You can't change stars. You can build a team around them or you can trade them. Nothing else. We can be critical, but Luka won't play different because of that.


Yes because clearly Giannis didnt change his play style when teams built a wall to stop his drives to the basket. Clearly he didnt adjust in your eyes. Clearly Shaq didnt adjust to passing the ball to Kobe. Clearly you didnt see that too. Clearly talking to gypsies selling snake oil and potions here.

Giannis couldn't win **** before they traded for Jrue.

Add one of the best C ever to Mavs and they will win championships easily. ;)

How was his attitude on the court? I must have missed years of 16 tech seasons and total lack of defensive effort.

Doesn't matter, he was very near of living Bucks. They built the right team and he won the championship. It could easily end differently. Who knows, maybe Mavs will be able to do the same.

Quality of discussions here matches the level of the team...
Failure is absolutely on Luka, this is his team, and he has his fair share of **** ups this season, his demeanor cost the team gamea last year, and instead of working on it, he brought this demeanor to half the games this season, Luka is struggling and he looked like this in Eurobasket too.
But instead of having a supporting roster and supporting coaching staff, Mavs made sure the team barely wins when Luka is good.
There are multiple fathers to this bastard season, but this is the NBA, and Luka is top 3 talent in it, you won't get something like him in the next 20 years, as long as he's not forcing himself out, you keep rolling the dice.
Defense wins draft lotteries!

It already has longtime ago. I always find funny how people on net assume things about people they don't know nothing about.

Having totally wrong assumptions about whole country is of course something else, more about education than anything else.

Who knows, maybe Mavs turn around the next season like Sacramento did. They also dont play with a defensive center, most of the time just having Sabonis play C and his wingspan is even short. But they make up for it with ball movement and running cutters through screens. So if the question is can the Mavs survive without a Rudy Gobert at C, I think yes.

Kinda feels like you're thoughts on a person's education you don't know is also an assumption

Is it? He doesn't know anything about Slovenia or life here, but is still eager for making assumptions. Not the best sign of good education.

I don't know, but my guess should be much better than his about my living in Slovenia. :) I at least have something to work with. He just believes that Slovenia is poor country and everyone is being poor there.

He could be just ignorant, but even ignorant educated persons should have some basic knowledge about living in Europe nowadays.
