As a Mavs fan, I’m so torn on this. He’s a great player, no doubt there. But there’s so many “buts” and “ifs” with him. I hope it turns out for the best with everyone involved.

As a Mavs fan, I'm very happy about this. It's a risk, but we need to take risks at this point. Donnie really screwed Luka's early years as a Mav, and Nico is picking up the pieces. Much better than losing Kyrie for nothing. Plus the deal is team-friendly at 3 years

The risky part was trading for him in the first place. Re-signing him is really the option they had. Otherwise, they'd pretty much would have to attempt a full rebuild around Luca.
