    PHX needed a big man more than a wing. Plus, Ayton went to Arizona. And I think there were reports or something, about how Doncic wouldn't report to the Kings or something, if they drafted him.

    If the Kings got Doncic, they may have a similar problem with De'Aaron Fox, that the Mavs had with Dennis Smith Jr.

    And Bagley has turned out okay, so I don't think there are any regrets.

    I think few possess the right combination of skill, coordination, balance and smarts to pull it off at the highest level. Harden and Luka are two of them.

    Luka may not have quick feet like Harden, but he is bigger. So I'm sure he will use his height for some stuff Harden can't do - just like Harden is using his body to do things Luka can't.

    Harden modeled aspects of his game after Ginobli...so the cycle continues

    James Edward Harden is changing aspects about how NBA teams and players view offense.

    It's been a while since we said that about anyone.

    Lone wolf talent my friend.

    Sucks he’s a Mav cause iv liked luka for a few years now. I thought he would be very good but tbh I’m surprised that he’s prob already a top 20 player in the NBA maybe even top 15 with the way he’s been playing the last few weeks.

    No doubt in my mind that he’s the best young player to enter the game since AD. And theirs been some good ones since the brow.

    Luka has the harden IQ that’s why he can emulate his game.

    Harden has traits that luka will never have though. Harden is stronger better ball handler and a lot quicker but everything else is prob going to turn out pretty equal in terms of shooting and passing.

    Really impressed with Don luka Mavs got something special with him and potentially KP also.

    There going to be a very very scary team in 3 years if KP stays healthy.

    just remember, before Harden there was Manu. HArden definitely modelled his game after Ginobili. He's not Euro though, he's American...
    South American.

    Doncic is the most beloved Euro player on earth, no one is going to be hating him like they hate Harden.
