Excellent reporting. In an attempt to justify a horrible trade (both process and outcome), the Maverick's front office chose to leak stories complaining about Luka's alleged diet, conditioning, and complaining to refs. It's obvious that Luka should improve in those areas, but despite those shortcomings he is a five time, first team all NBA player before the age of 26. If they had something negative to say about Luka, then say it publicly. If they do not have the courage to say it, then praise him for getting the Mavs to the finals and say that they think AD gives them a better chance to win (which virtually no one agrees with, but it would have been the honorable thing to do). Instead, they ran and hid and bad mouthed Luka behind his back. Shameful.
Agreed!!
Great stuff!
Thanks Nate!
