LaMarcus Aldridge announced his retirement from the NBA after 15 seasons following an irregular heartbeat.

I just saw this news in social media and I was shocked a little bit by this news but if that is what he wants then there is nothing we can do about it.
After all, health is better than his career. An irregular heartbeat may cause him to suffer even more. With his age of 35 and with this illness, this is a better decision for him. Its just that the decision was unexpected.
Luka might do that, he showed how great he is on playoffs last year, almost beat Clippers all by himself, but I think Dallas would still need some good role players around him to make it happen, and that will take a lot of years, that doesn't happen overnight.
If they want to fast track that success, then they should add star players like what Nets did this season. Luka is special and he can take any team he will be playing with, I'm sure Dallas will make him stay and let himself improve more, the current roster is already good but they are not a championship caliber yet, but who knows one day Luka will be paired with one of the brigtest star in the NBA, Luka and Kawhi, i think that would be good.
Luka needs some support from all star players if he really wants to win a championship. Either he will stay with Dallas and they will get some all star players or worse he will go to another team to win a title. Nets really did what is the best and they added some all star players and the Lakers also did it too last year when they won a title.
See Giannis and the Bucks. Giannis doesn't have any all star player on his side so winning a title only by himself is hard and we saw what happened for the past 2 seasons with the Bucks. I believe that the Mavericks will try to acquire an all star player to help Luka because he can carry the team and we saw it against the Clippers and take note, he is doing it at a very young age.
