Luka Doncic Discussion: Lean Mean Slovenian Scoring Machine

That last run of 18 games when we were 16-2 was pretty frikkin' sweet, but it's over now. It's as if we're a play-in team now.

I suspect this is it for Lebron James too. I mean, the dude can still play at a ridiculously high level for a 41 year old: but does he want to keep going? He's proven everything he needed to prove. I seriously doubt we pay him what we wants, so if he's not ready to retire, what would the Cavs be willing to pay?

Man, all I really wanted was a WCF team and I was beginning to believe we had that, but after this recent Dark Night of the Lakers Soul in OKC, I'm ready for a long-azzed summer and seeing how the management builds a deeper team around the slick thick Slovenian scoring machine.

 

I think LeBron may actually come back but we will see. It would definitely come at way less than 50 mil.

I expect us to be active on the free agent market but the draft will play a role as well. We could trade our pick but there a several big men I would be interested in if they dropped a bit.

Gafford would be nice but I can’t imagine the Mavs trading with us again for a very long time.

 

Worst timing to get hurt. We got robbed of seeing Luka Magic in the playoffs, and as some have mentioned, it makes it harder to assess who to keep and who to sign, which can set us back another year. We're pretty much in the same spot we were the past few years --- Lebron/AD with their injuries heading into the playoffs. It's really disappointing.

Well that might be it for me this season. See ya'll in the offeason.

 

3rd year in a row when Luka is banged up/injured for the playoffs... im starting to have a deja vu

 

Luka has played too much ball for his age .. and yeah soft tissues injuries are a bad sign going forward .

 

Yup, worst thing is really not having a good look into the supporting cast that would give us so much information into the summer. That's the biggest loss imo. It sucks also not being competitive this postseason but it would be very surprising to beat 2 of OKC/SAS/DEN anyway.

Yeah this is relevant too. We gotta find a way to keep him healthy on April. Himself needs to look at this with attention as it impacts his legacy

Incredible how things change in a single game in NBA.

 

We need a coach who doesn’t run their players into the ground.
I’m done with JJ.
