Conditioning and defense isn't the only issue with Luka. His immaturity with officiating is another thing the organization and his teammates were done with.
Add in that he's hurt and was out of shape while on the cusp of signing that Supermax, they were like, we straight.
You can't defend his antics with the refs. How many times does he ignore getting back on defense because he's arguing about the last play?
Look at this cac-loving thotLuka is not nearly as bad on defense as folks make him out to be.
Kyrie doesn't exist?He's never had a 25 year old star entering their prime
mavericks under pressure to win the Larry O’Brien championship trophy this year or the next one
Win mode activated
Mavs got rid of their best primary ball handler, facilitator and playmaker…now they only have shooters and paint/rim crushers… they don’t have no one who is ball dominant and can set up plays anymore
Bron and Luka won’t have chemistry together because their skillsets and weaknesses don’t complement each other. Both players are primary ballhandling/ball dominant wings who excel at playmaking and running the offense. They thrive when they control the play and when the offense is dependent on them. They feel comfortable to be the one in charge and the straw that stirs the drink.
Both players are poor on defense, Bron because of age and fatigue and Luka because of conditioning and bad habits
Crazy that Bron (1984) is 15 years older than Luka(1999)
I think that’s part of the problem.He was at the Mavs game the other day in street clothes and looked no different. I bet that was leaked from the Mavs to justify their rash decision.
Some nikkas love to overthink and justify shytSome of y'all are going too far with the AD praise in here. He's a great great player when he's healthy but we're talking about a guy who has a history of missing games and is 31-years old vs. a guy who is 25-years old and at worst a Top 5 player in the league.
Their timelines don't overlap. If AD is the centerpiece of a deal for the Mavs then you need to get more picks/players. It's Luka. Thunder would have asked for way more and received it if it was SGA.
Aruging with the refs isn't even remotely an excuse not to give him the supermax. He just dragged them to the Finals and you're talking about his antics with the refs.Conditioning and defense isn't the only issue with Luka.

Bra how do y’all listen to that shyt them nikkas just be yelling saying outrageous shytGils arena about be a classic
Get Nick Young , McCants with Drunk Jennings and agitated KMART
Gil and Nick might get shot because they gon be on so much bullshyt
He didn't ask out. Stein confirmed this alreadyWhat could have went wrong in Dallas that fast from just being in the Finals to now trading a guy who arguably is the 2nd best player in the league right now? The conditioning thing doesn't really hold up when he's been there in April and did historic shyt when he has got the chance to have a good squad in the playoffs. Unless he asked out or has some kind of injury the Mavs are fools for this trade. They got two years tops to maximize this window before Kyrie and/or Ad start to decline.
