Make no mistake -- this is absolutely embarrassing for Luka. Teams don't just trade away generational talents and franchise cornerstones in their age-25 season, unless they are demanding a trade. Even if he was going to walk away after his current deal was up, it made sense to try for a title with him considering the Mavs had made the finals just last season.
This is a very poor reflection on him as a player, in my opinion.
Dirk will stay as the Mavs GOAT.
