Luka and the LeBron-less Lakers Keep Rolling. Plus, Difficulties in Dallas. | Real Ones

Logan Murdock and Raja Bell discuss the Lakers and how they should operate when LeBron returns. Luka’s former team, the Dallas Mavericks, find themselves in the bottom of the West following a loss to the Pelicans. Are they mismanaging Cooper Flagg’s development?
