My question is this.

If the Mavs were shopping Luka around to more than just the Lakers, why:

1. Did Pelinka back the Mavs' story that no one else knew.

2. Perhaps more importantly, if you're bringing in another front office how on earth did this stay as quiet as it apparently did?

I'm sure I'll have more questions as we move forward but those are the two that are stuck in my head for now.
