Podcast P Dallas co-host I had a conversation with a buddyand he was asking me if I thought Luka was a top 10 NBA playerI would say hes not just because of that defensively liability If you were building a team would you rather take Jrue Holiday or Luka to win

Jalen Brunson jokingly I'm not a fan of Luka He's actually he's one one of the worst teammates I've ever had Kid Reporter That's crazy He doesn't play defense Jalen Brunson Oh wow He plays a little defense He tries

Sports Illustrated Interviewer to Jalen Brunson I saw something online they were saying Dallas Nico they fumbled the two of you Luka Jalen JB Well they made decisions And I'll leave it at that They made their decisions

Jones Athletic's Jazz reporter on Kessler He's one of the 4 or 5 best rim protectors in the league He affects winning I think he can be another Rudy Gobert He's good enough defensively that he can be a walking top-10 defense He's a guy who can one day win a Defensive Player of the Year award

I apologize Draymond Green to Jalen Brunson after previously saying on his podcast Hes absolutely incredible but when you talk about winning a championship I dont know if hes the guy as your No 1

Buha I spoke with several Lakers people this weekend more often than not there was an acknowledgment that we might have taken a slight step back this season but this is about the longer-term vision here with building this core from the ground up around Luka and Austin

Max Kellerman The team wouldve functioned better had Luka dribbled a little less LeBron been playing point more I felt like LeBron needed to assert himself a little more Rich Paul Youre not wrong
