As good as Luka is, they get mopped either way.

True, but at least they'll score some style points with Luka on the floor -- otherwise they'd be unwatchable.

Well, it doesn't hurt if they are actually wanted and pursued without all the hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth over "FIT!"
Edit: This is just my impression from the outside looking in.

Lol, yeah -- lotto teams can't afford to worry about fit.

I get it, tbh.
They're great, but they're YOUNG. Young players don't win. I mean, WE think that they'll be ready to win sooner than a less amazing (but still championship caliber) duo would be, but they're not winning a championship this year or next.
That summer of 2021 really will be the Mavs' first and only chance to hit it big in free agency.

I can't decide what makes me happier, that Harden was picked 2nd to last, or that Trae Young was picked last.

Oh Harden all day. Trae has done nothing to diminish the integrity of the game, to my knowledge. Only guy I hate more is Wade. Rondo is maybe 3rd most hated. Chris Paul and then Jimmy Butler amongst current guys.

Gotta feel that if Luka were healthy and had played to his level, he would have been drafted earlier. Watched a clip of it and seemed Giannis was more honoring Embid and Siakam with his choices. What was cool is you could tell he knew Luka was going next, but really wanted him.

Luka expected to play Wednesday in the last game before the break. One game on and then the break.
Almost hope he just takes Wednesday off to get another few days of rest.

Mark Followill: Luka update from Rick Carlisle: “He scrimmaged 5-on-5 yesterday and today. The hope is he’ll play Wednesday. It depends on how he feels and how he tolerates the last two days.”
Luckily they play the Kings on Wednesday, so hopefully he won’t play the whole game.

@espn_macmahon: “I’m ready,” Luka Doncic told reporters after practicing today. He’ll play tomorrow night vs. Kings and in the All-Star Game. (The All-Star Game was never really in question. Sorry, Devin
@ESefko: Luka Doncic said he intends to play both the rising stars game and the All-Star game this weekend in Chicago.

Most games with more than 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists this season:
Luka Doncic: 21
James Harden: 21
Giannis Antetokounmpo: 17
LeBron James: 12
It's hard to believe the mind-boggling numbers Luka is posting as a 21-year old.
The kid is special.

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic may collect another award to add to his growing collection. Saturday, it was announced that he’s a finalist for this season’s Most Improved Player.
Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat and the New Orleans Pelicans’ Brandon Ingram are the other two finalists. Both are having standout seasons and were named All-Stars for the first time in their careers this season—like Doncic. However, their numbers haven’t taken the same leap that Doncic’s have.
The winner will be announced on TNT—Woj or Shams will break the news first on Twitter—during their coverage of the NBA playoffs.

Well Doncic was held out for contractual reasons so I didn't get to see him play. Smith was awful, traded to the Knicks, and now is getting DNPs with the Knicks.
Literally only guy I saw was Cam Payne who is now torching it up for the Suns.

It wasnt for contract reason.
A break was more important and honestly everyone knew that playing SL is/was a waste of time for Luka

One of the best analyses of the game 4s and Luka I've seen.
