    I don't know. They just seem to be well-run in a way that I envy. I would hate Doncic on the Lakers or Houston even more.

    Bugs me that Dallas ends up with some of my faves - Boban and Seth Curry, for example. Also that they managed to turn one of their biggest recent mistakes (Smith Jr.) into a franchise cornerstone.

    Luka's skill set, matched with his height is such a luxury. Trapping guys like him, Lebron, Giannis is so much greater of a liability than trapping someone who is 6'2".

    This kid is special. He has done so much already. Crazy he has 10+ years ahead of him and should be nowhere close to his peak.

    It's not a fact, at all. Luka has a long way to go before he's considered top 10 all time. And right now Dame is better than Luka. That my friend is a fact.

    Hell yea he’s better than Dame. He’s barley even 21. Dame wasn’t even in the NBA at that age!

    Incorrect. He's better than Dame was at 21, but he definitely isn't better than Dame at this point in time.

    Dame wasn’t even in the NBA at 21. Luka at 18 was the best player in Real Madrid in the 2nd best league in the world winning championships. Luka is definitely better than Lillard right now. Dame is 31 next year your telling the young buck on Dallas isn’t better? Lol

    Yes. Dame at 31 is better than Luka at 21. That is obvious.

    Top 10 lists are worthless as 10 people would likely be top 10.

    What's your top 10?

    The conference thing bothers me.
    Would be much better if he was in ATL or any other team in the east.
    LeBron wasn't a problem for us until now.

    It’s close but I think Luka is better than Dame right now. Dame is quite a bit more efficient but Luka gets way more rebounds & assists and is a better defender. And no one’s found Luka’s Achilles heel.
