this is honestly a good example of why most of the greatest players of any sport struggle as coaches later in life. they're just so transcendent as players it's hard to even begin to tell mere mortals what to do.
Part 2 of our Luka teaser…
JJ: How much do you practice the full speed to the decel?
Luka: I didn’t practice that.
JJ: You’re a sick f*ck.

the mavericks turned THJ, derrick jones jr, josh green into quentin grimes, naji marshall, and klay thompson and they're still below the first apron.
The arrival of Klay Thompson
Dallas hard capped themselves at the first apron when they signed Naji Marshall. By sending out Josh Green for Thompson, the Mavericks remain below.

I love how there are so many maverick stats since luka has been drafted that are basically like "if one of luka's teammates doesn't piss his pants for 48 minutes the mavericks are undefeated."
The Mavericks have a 40-17 record in the Reggie Bullock era when he scores 5+ points, and Luka Doncic plays. Dallas is 14-14 when he scores below the 5-point threshold next to Doncic.

The Dallas Mavericks announced today that they have acquired 5-time All-Star Klay Thompson and a future 2nd-round pick as part of a six-team sign-and-trade deal in exchange for Josh Green and a future 2nd-round pick.
It marks the first six-team trade in NBA history.

no one wants to hear this but at this point the mavs losing out and claiming a top 10 pick in an absolutely loaded draft is absolutely the type of get-rich-quick scheme needed to get the organization back on track in terms of roster talent. like this is objectively true now.

it's not just that the mavericks have won two straight against the suns to tie the series at 2-2, but they've *dominated* the suns in both of these games. mavericks have taken a double digit lead early in each game and maintained. just an absolute ass-kicking in these two games.

the mavericks entered free agency having already made a trade that was unanimously praised by the community, and drafted a player most thought was good value. despite that and the limited resources, they've somehow managed to make almost everyone mad. Impressive in a way.
