I agree that the Dumont/Nico pairing would feel vindicated for the trade in the event the Mavs win a title in the next few years. Some fans would agree with that too probably.
Personally, even a title would not absolve Nico for the return he got in that trade. To me it's similar to if I took out all my life savings, used it to buy lottery tickets, and then won the lottery. Just because it happened to work out doesn't mean it was a wise decision.
