I really think the NBA has some influence in ensuring star players sign that first extension now. In short he will res-sign...and then assuming Dallas fukks everything up and doesn't get him the help he needs...he'll bounce in 3 years.

The roster they trotted out is trash. KP gotta go and they need to find an actual #2. Will they bet on Hardaway being the #3? This is interesting because it's clear Luka is a generational talent, he has the potential to be the next face of the league...but it's not the early 00s anymore. Nobody is going to languish on a trash roster for years like Bron did initially. Players have way more influence and power now (thanks to Bron). Dallas either fixes this or is left with nothing in a few years. And frankly I just don't buy that Cuban is the guy to do this. Smartest guy in the room shyt. Surrounds himself with similar people. Arrogant, toxic FO...and possibly some race issues.

He just finished his second year. It's a bit early to be making championship demands.

He's been there for 3 years. The championship window didn't start upon his arrival. The only way he was gonna sniff title contention is if he was coming off the bench for the Dubs or something. Getting Porzingis was Dallas being proactive (and they were doing that with the possibility that KP was gonna walk the way Luka might walk). Has Porzingis panned out? No, but that's the risk they took. The alternative was Dennis Smith Jr. freezing him out for shots while The Coli cheers him on.

They gotta be better, but that's also on Luka. Don't let the media's sloppy toppy keep him from needing to step his game up. If the whole basketball world can look at Ben Simmons and devalue everything good he's done because jumpshots are taboo to him, well then they can do the same to Doncic for being a turnover machine who sucks on defense and thinks he's Chef Curry wit the pot from 3.

Gone force his way out and team up wit Kawhi :wow:
Kawhi only got a couple good years left on that one leg.

The biggest power move would be Him and Giannis teaming up.

They would be legit unstoppable
