The Mavericks dun messed up already, again. 
After being gifted the #1 pick (that was stolen from the Jazz):
Now y'all are on the same path that the Mavs went on after drafting Luka... but worse, because even if y'all make a contending team, it will have to compete with stiffer competition than when y'all first got Luka (in OKC, Spurs, Hou, a returning Boston [after Tatum returns, and they'll be armed with another lottery pick to add to what they have])... and your team won't be as good as those.
After being gifted the #1 pick (that was stolen from the Jazz):
- Priority #1 should have been to trade AD to the Thunder or Rockets for as many assets as y'all could have gotten out of them.
- Priority #2 should have been to trade Kyrie, Gafford and PJW, once again, trying to get as many assets as possible for them.
