Man, I'm sorry for your kid. We at least had Dirk. That's what was different about being a Mavs fan.
My guess is he will follow Luka where he goes, good for him. With all the player movement with teams, and all the players being buddies, that just seems the way it will go. Its not like Randy White waiting to beat the snot out of someone in the parking lot. Now its like Randy White waiting for someone in the parking lot so they can do a podcast together. Not hating on it, just the way things have changed.
On a side note, having connections to the league office and knowing their ratings were in the tank, recreating Celtics vs Lakers seems like total collusion. Adam Silver is kind of a snake.
Prob best thing you can do is help your kid follow Luka.
