You cant make a star free agent sign with you or draft a star if you don't have the picks. Mavs wanted to make certain moves but luck was against them. Donnie wanted to sign Crowder and he wanted to draft Haliburton, he wanted a shot at Giannis. None of these things happened due to luck. The reason why Nico is so popular is not because he is such a cool guy or popular. The reason is that players would gravitate towards him hoping to get more money from Nike. Often they make more money on ads than their salaries, so obviously players like Lillard would kiss his a$$ in order to make more money. Hopefully free agents choose Dallas in hopes that Nico will hook them up with more Nike money. That's why its possible that someone like Leonard will choose Dallas over LA.
Why would Leonard leave New Balance to join Nike? Or Lillard leaves Adidas? More money? Maybe he likes New Balance. Just asking...
