    Brutal loss last night even though they were shorthanded. Wolves had been playing pretty well.

    The trade of Luka is certainly interesting and very surprising. We’ll have to see how this impacts the western conference. I think it helps the lakers but they still aren’t a contender. It’s a head scratcher for Dallas.

    He’s missed 92 games (and counting) through less than 7 seasons. He’s a constant conditioning concern and hasn’t shown the commitment to get himself into even average NBA shape at any point in his career. Luka also is almost guaranteed to be a defensive liability on the floor for his entire career given the sample size so far. He had another supermax extension coming and it seems like Dallas isn’t ready to go down that road with Doncic. Anthony Davis just had a 43 point, 20+ rebound game about a week ago and has been the Lakers best player.

    The mavs were in the finals last year and added Klay Thompson. I agree that he’s a conditioning concern but he played pretty good defense in the playoffs and is one of the only players in the league that can always get their own shot or a foul. I’m just surprised they didn’t try and make one more run.

    It’s a bet on the future for both teams but I’d bet on Luka. Regardless, it’ll be interesting to see play out.
