I think the Bullock/Brown signings, as well as valuing what THJ does for the team (while convincing him to come back without getting the biggest bag he can) go a long way towards demonstrating that the new front office has a method to their plan. That's not to say the plan was entirely successful, but at least they had a player profile they went after for the smaller deals and got that accomplished.
The bigger deals are just flat out gong to be long shots until the Porzingis disaster is resolved.
Nah,I don´t think you can´t say that (yet).
What´s the difference between Bullock and Wright/Richardson? Absolutely nothing.
12 months ago Bullock had the same DRPM as 36 year old torn Achilles JJB, so let´s see him play Thibs level defense here before we declare that signing a major success. We have done the same for Wright and Richardson in the past.
Team didn´t get younger. Team didn´t add any assets.
Team seemingly (as of right now) did not have a Plan B for Lowry either, just like in the past.
We are early in the process and it would be harsh to judge Nico on the grounds of what he inherited, but so far this just looks like more lame sh*t out of the Cuban playbook.
If Cuban was on Car Masters instead of Shark Tank, he´d be buying an old Golf beetle, restores it and thinks he can immediately trade it for a 1956 Ferrari Spider worth $30M. Then he´s crying why nobody wants to do business with him. It´s a gradual process, you can´t skip several steps and if they are not willing to accept that, then Luka will leave eventually. Most likely as an UFA, that´s also something Duffy/Doncic should be aware of. Cuban will be too stubborn to accept a monster trade package as compensation for a disgruntled star.He´ll just run down the deal.
