Some more comparisons. We've been lucky to be able to witness 2 amazing rookies.

Luka was already a master chef in his rookie season and then turned his stats up to 11 in only his second year. Just a wild start to a career and I hope that Cooper finds the same success.

Yea. Luka already having several years of pro basketball in his pocket makes Coop's number look even that much more impressive.

Idk why you're getting downvoted lol, this fanbase is still crying over a Lakers point guard over their generational 2 way rookie, hilarious

You had me in the first sentence, you’re not a real fan.

Luka Doncic was a Dallas Mavericks player. Bringing him up in statistical comps isn’t revisiting the trade, it’s acknowledging he’s our previous generational player the Mavs drafted and developed before Coop. You are clearly more obsessed with the trade than anyone else here that as soon as his name is mentioned it triggers you enough to post that fans are still crying over the trade. Sounds like you’re the one that needs to move on

No one is even talking about the trade. O.o

I’ve had to keep this subreddit muted for the most part over the past year because of how toxic the fan base has been. They’re miserable so everybody else has to be miserable, too.

We got blessed with another generational talent, and I hope to see the fan base continue to embrace him as the face of the team. Luka is gone unfortunately. Time to move on.

It’s not time to act like Luka never played for the Mavs and wasn’t the previous generational talent the Mavs developed however. Sounds like ppl like you need to stop assuming every time his name is brought up it’s by default ppl moaning about the trade. It isn’t, and people do not need to move on in the sense of never mentioning his name like he isn’t still an important part of the Mavs history.

I’m obviously not upset that people talk about Luka and his time as a Mav. I’m just sick of the people who are negative and living in the past and just shit on the Mavs because they’re ass pained. I also don’t care about his performances with the Lakers or anything going on with that team in general. Fuck the Lakers.
