The small area of Jaxson Hayes has been significantly improved as the addition of Luka is a roll-and-seal technique used when reading what ball handlers want to attack the rim.
This was a classic for LeBron at the time, Javar McGee. It’s a simple read, but it’s very valuable. – 4:46pm
As JJ Redick detailed, the Lakers really missed Jaxson Hayes on a four-game road trip.
As a threat to Rob for Doncic, Hayes scored 13 points later today, and his length and athleticism in D helped limit the PHX to 37 points. – 4:41pm

Dirk Nowitzki: That was a very strange situation. I was standing in that empty stadium and he ran to the court in yellow. It was an incredibly strange moment for me. And of course, it will take weeks and months before you start to feel a little more normal. That’s a tough situation, but in my tweet: I made it clear – I will always be a Mavs fan. But this transaction really hurts. And it takes a while for everyone to process it and move on. ” -via YouTube / March 17, 2025
Dirk Nowitzki: Then the report came out. Of course, I texted Luka right away. At first, he didn’t respond. It was easy to understand and he was probably a little overwhelmed. In English, you would say he was doing a lot. A day later, he finally responded. I think he was pretty emotional. He never saw it coming. And I thought I should support him in his first game. He hadn’t played in a while. He was injured. So I flew to LA. I just wanted to show him that our friendship was still standing. We played together last year with my whole year and I always tried to help him. He has been his mentor for the past few years. I wanted to show him that I was here for him, despite him somewhere. We have a friendship and I am still there for him and his family. His father was there as well as his nearest circle. -via YouTube / March 17, 2025
