Man, I'm gonna say something that sounds like blasphemy, but at 23, Luka is every bit as good as Magic, Bird and LBJ were at the same age. I can't put him over MJ and don't know where he will end up all time, but as a 23 year old, he's top 5 to me
 
Bagel Bites are great

Still can't believe you guys were able to land him. LOL KANGGGZZZ.

He's an incredible talent. Ultra skilled. Game flows easy. He has a top 10 trajectory for sure at this age. Top 5 will likely be based on longevity and also winning. But he has a lot of time to get that accomplished.

What he did last night was absolutely filthy. Hes incredible. Still to be proven if what he brings translates to winning playoff basketball but the entire skillset is there to be one of the all time greats

This is the biggest thing. His high usage rate is not standard for today's play, which inflates his stats to a degree. But still what he's doing is outrageous.

We saw James Harden put up insane numbers too for a stretch, but it never amounted to anything.

If he doesn't win multiple championships I would blame the organization a lot more than him

Imagine if Lebron was in Chicago, Miami or LA for his first 7 years…that’s why championships matter but only so much you can do. Obviously, when we are talking about the top 5-10 players of all-time though, they matter more. I hope Dallas can get that 1b player but with their cap and all those “bad” contracts it doesn’t seem very likely. LaVine is a possibility

If Luka goes the LBJ route and hand picks good situations there is no telling how many he wins

Well it's called FA and if Dallas doesn't do all they can they I wouldn't blame him for leaving. LBJ had nothing around him for years and he was carrying that team.

That also can backfire, FA doesn't always work in your favor. The situation from far away that seems nice isn't what it seems. I would suggest for him to stay in Dallas and push the FO in the next 1-2 years to go all-in...easier said than done.

IMO, they don't need another superstar #2. They need great shooters and a legit big shot blocker/rebounder. The deal they made a few years back, giving up Seth Curry in the Jason Richardson deal...holy crap what are we doing??

Christian Wood looks like he's working out really well for you guys. I thought that was a steal for Dallas in the off-season. Dinwiddie is a really good player, but I think he's best served as a #3/4 guy on a real contender.

I think THJ is a solid player as is DFS, but neither of them really move the needle. What Luka needs is another second tier star player to pair with him. The Mavs have too much money tied up on decent players, instead of a couple top end guys paired with fillers. Bertans is on an awful contract for a long time. Wood is up for free agency. You have 64M tied up through 2025 between THJ, DFS, Kleber and Javale.

That's going to be tough to work around.
