105.3 is saying Luka got in a car wreck today. Not major, but there is a picture floating around of Carlisle talking to the cops.

Don't switch to ESPN 103.3....it is worse.
They rarely talk about the Mavs and when they do they have to inject Cowboy analogies on nearly every topic.
It's a little tough living in Dallas being a sports minded non-Cowboys fan.

Lol. Well I'm tired of terrible rap songs on bball videos. It's running rampant. Tenacious d is still cool in my book.

Looks like Luka has a new tat on the outside of his forearm.

I'm beyond stoked that in b2b years we got players I thought we had literally no shot at with DSJ and Doncic. We picked 2 really good years to suck.

Glad to see someone other than myself finally saying this... He's 100% going to take the same point-forward role that we hoped Parsons would have thrived in.

I think prime Parsons is a better pure shooter, but that can of course change since Luka is so young. Luka is a much better playmaker. Parsons was also a pretty good man defender, and I'm still curious to see how Luka's defense is in today's NBA. I will say that Parsons wasn't very athletic and still effective which gives great hope that Luka's own lack of athleticism won't be an issue.
Luka's talent is a big mix of players though which is what makes him unique.

Early in his career (before injuries/added weight) Parsons was more athletic than Luka is right now tbh. Though I do think he's far from a finished product and has a lot of room for improvement in that regard with proper NBA training.
Also agree that Luka's role will be similar to what they envisioned Parsons being but obviously he's much much more talented

Luka is infinitely more talented than Parsons is. His ball handling and passing is on a whole other level, and even his scoring skills are superior. I would actually also project him to be a much better shooter as well, Parsons was never really a great shooter, and definitely not a natural shooter. A natural shooter does not average 68, 72% or even 74% from the line in seasons when he is healthy. That's LeBron range, and that's NOT a natural shooter. Luka's form is much better, his shots have better trajectory, and if you factor in that he took a lot of heaves and step back threes, there is no reason to think that he could not be a very good shooter from day 1, and possibly elite surprisingly soon.

Contract Issues May Hold Luka Doncic Out Of Summer League
https://www.forbes.com/sites/doylera.../#539099d54f7a
Quote:
“He has not participated in a live practice yet because he needs to have his buyout completed with Real Madrid,” Carlisle told reporters. “He needs a FIBA letter of clearance, he needs a physical and he needs to sign his contract. So, we’re getting close to getting those things done, but we’re not there yet.”

Chandler Parsons was a very good athlete when he was still with the Rockets.

Long suspected, now confirmed...
@espn_macmahon: Mavs had Luka Doncic as the No. 1 player on their draft board. "It wasn't even close," Mark Cuban told ESPN.

Ayton has no fire either. He’s going to coast and be happy with money and numbers

I know Karalla had him one and JJJ as number two. Wonder if the FO felt the same way about JJJ.

We’ll probably never know, since JJJ was gone at #4... All I know is that they didn’t love Mo Bamba enough to stay put at #5.

Funnily enough, Doncic has already achieved ALMOST enough (at age 19) to be inducted into the Naismith hall of fame as an international entry. An Olympic medal should make him a lock for the HOF.

It’s going to happen! Especially if his brother starts to develop. If his brother is enjoying his time in Dallas with Luka (and hopefully Dennis), Giannis would be a perfect fit. The Mavs will be able to offer him a max contract if he hits free agency.
