I know this won't be a popular opinion but both KP and JB wanted more of a bigger role for their futures.
Brunson mighty not have been as vocal as KP but at the end of the day they both wanted the same thing (bigger role/be the lead guy)
Moving forward despite having Luka I just don't think top players are going to flock here unless it's through a trade.
KD never mentioned Dallas
Kyrie might have just stated Dallas because he was throwing teams together but he was never serious about wanting to come here.
Lavine and Beal same situation I just don't think those types of guys will make Dallas their 1st or 2nd choice.
THis stuff happened with Dirk as well and yes we consider Luka a super star but when we say why wouldn't other stars want to play with Luka well I just don't think he has that type of gravit/pull around the league.
Luka is ball dominant and it does take certain type of players to play with him. I do commend JB because he really did a great job adjusting to playing off Luka which most other guys like a Lavine or Beal might not be willing to adjust.
I could be wrong but I feel as if the Mavs will always have to win with depth alongside Luka as opposed to a 2nd star player actually coming here willingly on his own.
This is heady right down the same path as Dirk and we just have to hope that one of these rosters with role players playing out of their minds one year will be enough to get Luka that ring here in Dallas.
