The Athletic NBA Daily
Luka’s emotional return to Dallas

I don't know if that's necessarily a coaching decision or just he was having a bad game tonight and they decided to go a different direction. But I do like what Jalen Pickett provides for this team. And maybe that's the directive from the front office. Play these young guys more to give them opportunity to get some money.

Yeah, it's kind of like a scientific formula. You're trying to find the perfect balance to be able to get the right amount of Russ in any single game. He'll be able to give you 25 on a random night, but how are you going to punch in for the 15 minutes that you're on the floor? That's the next phase for Russ and this Nuggets team, for sure.

Hey, by the way, OKC locked up home court advantage throughout the playoffs with a win over the Suns today, which is massive.

Luka’s emotional return to Dallas

Yeah, a mixture of love and hate. I would say that the love outweighed the hate. It was a lot of love for Luka Doncic as soon as he stepped on the court. I thought it was a cool little moment. The Lakers took the floor for warm-ups, and he comes in and he just banks the shot off the shot clock, like shoots it. 10 feet above the basket, and it just drops in.

Luka’s emotional return to Dallas

It was like a little moment of Luka magic. I mean, he was just on the entire night, 31 in the first half. I mean, anytime he touched the ball, the crowd loved it. And then, yeah, the hate, I mean, really just directed towards one person, you know, Nico Harrison, who made this trade. I would say overall, fun night. I mean, I would say overall... like more positive than negative.

Luka’s emotional return to Dallas

Well, I was surprised that they did a tribute video in the first place. I'm not necessarily surprised that they did it because I knew it was expected, but it was a sort of damned if you do, damned if you don't type of situation from the Mavericks after the last couple of months of, you know, kind of conversation around why they traded him. What was the reasoning? Was it out of shape?
