Just finished watching a press conf. with Jkidd (Coach) and NicoH (PM).
I, like most people, feel it's a very bad move. It's basically really a "PM does not like the player scenario"... The PM keeps talking about "culture", and the journalists were baiting him to talk about what Luka brings to the "culture". A comment below saying that Mavericks hired a Laker fan, is hilarious. One video compared the scenario to the ZionWilliamson, but it's hardly anything like it!? Zion failed to be an impact, but Maverick has in deep post season run every season since Luka. It's not just demoralizing to the fans, also to the whole team! I wonder what Klay is thinking right now.
Some videos showed a very short clip of the PM took away Luka's beer last year in a post season celebration of a win. This sentiment must have gone on for quite sometimes. I think bar from a serious injury, this move is good for Luka. I really hope this inspired him to make to the top though I felt laker is not bad, thought not great either. But if LBJ could work with Luka, I think it can work wonder.
As for the Mavericks, they have a long list of injuries, including the two new players from lakers. And I feel that Kyrie would be their main offense focus. Though they increased their inside presence in theory, which really is like the Wolfes last year, their imaginary focus is really Danvers. I kind doubt their scoring ability. Don't forget Kyrie is also injury prone. The usage rate of KI will increase after Luka left. Laker without the rock solid LBJ, their ranking won't be that high with only AD.
I would like to feel that PM is an old timer, so it's like it's either my way or highway. If it's the truth, then I can understand, win or lose. But if it's really like some conspiracy theorists out there saying it's NBA's under table dealing to raise viewing rate. This would be so sickening.
