It will sadly be all on Lukas shoulders again but with one less ball handler.

It's definitely a step backwards next season, and it makes me sick, but tap MIGHT be right about the Mavs being better off in the long term... Just maybe. If it really is going to take 30 mil a year for 5 years to keep him, that is an insane price to pay, and he would be virtually untradeable. So 2-3 years from now we might be glad...
Right now though? This blows, no question. I'm just trying to find silver linings wherever I can.
