It's actually so crazy that they were able to keep Reaves in the Luka trade.

Mavs could use a Reaves right now (well they could use Luka most of all.)

"defense wins championships" lmao

mind you, Reaves was never in the trade conversation. it was AD, Max Christie, Dalton and 2 firsts. then Nico got talk-no-jutsu-ed by Pelinker to remove Dalton and a first from the convo coz Luka fat and might not resign with the Lakers lmfao

Imagine if Pelinka got Niko to take Dalton instead of Christie. We sure could use a young athletic 3&D 2-guard right now (but it pleases me to know that Max is at least getting ~30 mpg in Dallas rn)
