It's "good" for Dallas because that trade would be god awful if he left for nothing. The fit and the loss of depth are still aspects left uncertain.

They may be uncertain, they are certainly leaning heavily toward “not good”

It is leaning that way, but I'm willing to give some benefit of the doubt to the small sample size.

This contract and trade could definitely go down as one that really hurts Luka and the Mavs if it does not improve into this season and beyond.

Yeah I know luka and porzingis didn't fit well together but I just have a hard time believing kyrie is going to be better. I think the team is still pretty far from being a legit championship contender.

100%. Mavs would've been the laughingstock of the league for letting another guy go for nothing with Brunson

[–] Oxrap 3 points 1 year ago

Agred. I don't see how the fit between Luka and Kyrie and then there's the depth of this squad.
