^this is the part I disagree with
You guys want make Delon into some kind respresentive story of how bad the Mavs are at team building. The cupboard isn't bare. And if I used Luka, Brunson, JRich, THJ, DFS, Maxi, KP if he has another star level playoff run, DP if he returns to form and makes himself an asset again, and used them to say something like "that tells you all you need to know about why the Mavs have the best roster in the league", you'd rightfully push back.
I'm not saying the Mavs are the best at asset management. I will say that they are buiding a good team, and that you can't do that by being the worst at asset management. And I will say that these discussions would be more helpful if you guys didn't say things like "this tells you all you need to know", because obviously reality isn't that simple.
If the Mavs sucked, and all their moves were bad, then you could pick any one of their moves, use it as representative of their systemic suckiness, and get no pushback. But that's not the reality we have here.

sorry, pal, this is one of those instances where I don't understand what you're arguing
