    As a Mavs fan, I’m very happy about this. It’s a risk, but we need to take risks at this point. Donnie really screwed Luka’s early years as a Mav, and Nico is picking up the pieces. Much better than losing Kyrie for nothing. Plus the deal is team-friendly at 3 years

      I agree that we have been stagnant for way too long. Other than the trip to WCF a couple years ago, it’s been disappointing. So maybe it’s time to go all in. I do think we need some more pieces. Not necessarily another star but some more role players that can give more meaningful minutes. Either way I’m preparing myself mentally for this upcoming seasonal roller coaster

      The risky part was trading for him in the first place. Re-signing him is really the option they had. Otherwise, they’d pretty much would have to attempt a full rebuild around Luca.
