WCS strikes me as someone that can finish a few Luka lobs every game and definitely benefit from playing on a better team where his role should be very limited.

Very happy with the deal. No long term damage if it doesn't work out and we didn't have to give up a contributor and mess with team chemistry.

It's a no brainier deal. Gave up a bad pick for a guy making under 3MM. If he doesn't work, you cut him with no harm done. Love it. All upside, no downside really.

Exactly. And if he's a problem, you're back where you were and you can sign Noah/Faried/any of those other band aid bums. No harm, no foul.

Really good article in the athletic about how luka is the greatest 20 year old nba player ever by a mile. Jordan didn't enter league until 21, Kobe wasn't that good at 20, only comparable player is Lebron. Luka shatters 20 year old Lebron statistically.

The site is a pay site so I won't post the link but here's the key analytics they came up with:

Weird ass time for a game today.

Freaking mormons.

It doesn't have anything to do with them. The NBA plays one afternoon game on Saturday and Sunday each week in order to have a "primetime" game in the European markets.

Maybe WCS will get on board pretty quickly as he already put MFFL on a tweet.

Followill said Monday at the earliest, but most likely Tuesday is when he'll play

Really like this move. No brainer

Very frustrating game today.

If kleber could've made just one of those wide open 3's and the team didn't shoot 50% on free throws it might've still been a win.

Kobe's last game against the Mavs- Nov 13, 2015

I realize this isn't THAT hard to do, but pretty cool that Luka wore Kobe Bryant shoes even though he's signed to Jumpman, AND wrote tributes to the other passengers in the crash

He's just a fantastic kid who we can be really proud of on and off the court.

Kobe was his idol. You could see how hard it hit him when the Thunder were taking the 24 second violation

I think LeBron is his idol over Kobe from what he has said in the past.

Yep, hardly worth pointing out but he's been really clear that he idolized LeBron.

Mavericks should be extremely happy that Lebron is too old for luka to team up with. Definitely should make it easier to keep him.

If this isn't the end of a travel back to back I don't know what is

Haven't seen the mavs dominated like this in a long time.

Porzingis is a ****ing bust as far as I'm concerned. I'm sick and tired of him shooting contested fade away jumpers when he has guards on him. Shoots way too many three pointers and gets bullied on the block.

Dude he hasn't played in a year and a half. Calm down

He's been a huge help to the team even when shooting poorly. Watch us with him in the lineup and then watch us without him. It's huge. In fact we seemed to play better without Luka than we did without KP.

I could see WCS eventually finding his way to the Rick Carlisle doghouse. I don't think he's seen as much more than depth and was a needed cheap acquisition that will disappoint Carlisle.

Same ankle he twisted a month ago against Miami.

Porzingis has 7 inches on the tallest person on the floor for the rockets & refuses to attack the rim. It's just mind boggling

Really missing Luka tonight. All these sloppy turnovers are automatic points for Houston.

I'm totally fine with this loss. Luka is out and you lose by a couple on the road. KP with 35 is nice.

Haha.
He'll figure out how to blend with Luka and the sky will be the limit. Can't wait.

This is such a hilarious opinion, I hope we all remember you think this in the coming years.
