The biggest mistake Dallas made wasn’t the Luka trade.
It was turning down the chance to sign Jalen Brunson for 4 years, $55 million.
Brunson became All-NBA.
Luka became an MVP candidate.
The Mavericks drafted both in 2018.
Today they have neither.

Jay Willams says Jalen Brunson is the most likable player in the NBA right now:
“He’s the antithesis. Well, guys are overpaid, he’s not overpaid. You think about other things teams are tanking, they didn’t tank they built it the right way, they built the right culture around that. Load management, when is he load managing? “Oh I hurt my pinky toe I can’t play.” This dude hurts his knee, he hurts his ankle, he comes back in and he closes a game down the stretch. You tell me this guy at 6’1, 6’2 isn’t the most likable player in the NBA right now, how do you root against a guy like that.”

5 of the top 6 players on this list are Pisces. ♓️
Pisces and Basketall goes well together. As a mutable water sign, they hold value in their emotional empathy and sense of making sure everyone around them fits in.
Pisces emotional intelligence is one of their biggest strengths; specially in a sport as emotional as basketball.
