***If*** this were to happen, do we consider selling the farm? I’m a believer in building through the draft and taking time to develop the team but if **Luka Doncic** wants out you just have to consider, no?

He is such a diva
We would absolutely be one of the first teams on the phone with Dallas, but OKC would win the bidding war. Including either Chet or J-Dub (I don’t see Dallas being able to pry both) plus a boatload of fantastic draft picks is the reason why OKC has been hoarding like they have been in the first place. We would never see SGA or Luka average 30 ppg again, but the Big 3 they’d form with whoever is left between Chet and J-Dub would be gamebreaking for years.
As for building through the draft, I don’t think it’s any better worse than building through carefully managed trade assets. You stockpile assets to increase your odds at landing star players, and sometimes your best odds at landing a star player is to cash in stockpiled picks
It would be silly not to consider it. Just need to see how much it would change the current plan and how hard it would become to build the team around them. Assuming such a trade would cost virtually al our first picks for a while.
Obviously lol
He doesn’t play defense so he’ll be a natural fit
I’d trade everything for him. Wemby and Luka is a championship duo 100%
I love each of our Spurs but throw everyone and everything who’s not Wemby at the Mavs. With those two free agent vets will be banging down the doors to get a ring with us.
Wemby and Luka would be a dream duo. I think Coach Pop would be a guy who can get a lot out of Doncic. That said, it’s hard to imagine the Mavs of all organizations would be trading Doncic to San Antonio even in a multi team trade.
We should absolutely give up pretty much whatever it would take.
Wemby + Luka would be literally unguardable.
Everyone but Wemby let’s do it Dallas
This “report” is a year old and all it says is they’re worried he could one day request a trade
Considering since then it looks like they nailed the Lively pick, it would be pretty surprising if he made a request like that
I know it’s fun to shit on the Mavs, but if they’re healthy I think they’ll be a tough out in the playoffs this year
Spurs next season: Wemby, Luka, a bunch of borderline g leaguers with friendly contracts, and no picks
If he wants out in Dallas, I don’t think he’ll choose a rebuilding team. He probably wants to win ASAP.
Imagine needing to rebuild after drafting Luka😂
The on court product would be insane but Luka is so unlikable
Someone that can actually shoot.
Yeah I mean absolutely. But I highly doubt we would win a bidding war if Oklahoma City decided to get involved. And they would be foolish not to.
One of Chet/jdub another young player (Wallace, Williams, dieng, Wiggins etc) and like 6 first round pics is something they could afford and no one is beating that.
If they didn’t get involved for some reason we would still have to worry about a team like Utah or the Knicks but
A Devin+Jeremy package with the Hawks pics, bulls, raptors, and another two of our own down the road would be a strong offer of he did force his way out.
all the picks and all the players except wemby.
Give them everything except Wemby. Hell even send some of our big ole women up to Cuban to entice the offer
