For the Mavs, the trade is about looking at a future dominated by Wemby and saying, "Luka, as good as he is, ain't it."

100%. I think that moment of realization happened around the league with how Wemby took on Giannis the other night

"It's my league, Giannis. You just work here."

I do wonder how many teams Dallas reached out to to find a player commensurate with Luka's ability/age.

Minnesota? Surely Ant is untouchable.

Thunder? Not even picking up the phone.

Boston? Ditto

Detroit? Maybe Cade Cunningham would be available, but I doubt it. 

Orlando? Maybe Banchero is available.

Phoenix? Doubt they'd trade Book. 

It's as if Anthony Davis was the only bona fide second-tier superstar available.
