But at the same time, his absolute worse season from an overall productivity measure towards the overall team objectives.
Luka could demand a trade this offseason but if he doesn't change his ways (attitude, resistance towards playing decent defense, fitness/conditioning, regimen/lifestyle outside of basketball, etc), then he'll just be a top-of-the-line statistic achieving little bitch for the next team that he plays for - just like he is for the Mavs at this time.

I'm beginning to think the way he acts on the floor is a direct reflection of cuban
Cuban used to constantly whine and complain about the refs which wasn't good for the organization
Luka's actions doesn't help the team in the same manner
I hate to say it but I truly don't think dude will ever be like Dirk in terms of your expectations of a franchise player.
Dirk would never tell anyone he's unhappy or he's just out there playing like Luka did in his post game interview
Dirk played hard no matter of the situation and was a silent leader and professional
Dirk played on terrible rosters but he always found ways to put the damn team on his back and took it personal always thriving to prove critics wrong.
Damn I miss that kind of franchise leader
