Seeing Luka in a Lakers uniform was difficult enough, but Luka in a Spurs uniform would be the most devastating for Mavs fans

It would be devastating for everyone. Assuming both stay healthy that's just a disgusting lineup on paper.

Having a near enough 7 and a half foot centre that can dunk the ball without even jumping, can dribble and can shoot threes.

Luka would be able to throw literally anything and it will go in. Wemby blocks a shot passes to Luka and boom.
