For the record: Pics on social media of a shredded Luka Doncic apparently weren’t Photoshopped, because Mark Cuban has FaceTimed his superstar a couple times...
Or did Kidd revert to some of the habits that got him fired in Milwaukee and New Jersey?
Whatever it was, Cuban made it clear on the radio that, as much as he’d like to move on publicly, the disappointment of last season fuels everything they’re doing now.“All of us have felt that way that last year, really, obviously, was horrific,” Cuban said. “It was a failure. ... We’ll go forward from it, but we all want to get better.Cuban then alluded to the journey taken by
. Jokic didn’t rise to MVP level overnight. Took him years to understand the first thing he needed to do was get in better shape.Let’s hope so. Let’s hope he also understands that for the Mavs to get better, he can’t dribble, dribble, dribble while his teammates stand around and watch. Cuban addressed Luka’s usage rate on the radio. He said the team’s inability to create turnovers, block shots and collect offensive rebounds forced Kidd to dump the offense in Luka’s lap.
The question now is if Dereck Lively II is good enough at this point to make the job easier on Luka and Kyrie Irving.The nation’s No. 1 recruit coming out of high school, Lively didn’t exactly light it up at Duke. But it’s hard to coach length. Lively’s got a 7-foot-7 wingspan. Scouts have called him “Tyson Chandler 2.0.” Lively may have a higher offensive ceiling than Chandler did, but if they can get the same kind of defense from him in his rookie season, that’s good enough for me.
The good news is, they took a step forward Thursday. Took a couple steps, actually. If you were going to be bad, this was a good draft for it. Time will tell, of course, how this pans out, but it looks like the Mavs made the right moves Thursday. Been a while since we could say that.
