I thought the Wiggins thing was a mistake but it has certainly paid off for them. They had a little luck in being able to sign KD but the most important thing was drafting the core and ditching Jackson for Kerr.
Sure, but they sunk to a 15 win team after all of that, missed big on their once in a generation draft opportunity at 2, and somehow still rebuilt their team to championship caliber in a mere two years. They really weren’t even any good last year either. I find their rise amazing. The Mavs could do that. Just need to draft a Poole or Bane with their late pick instead of a Green and steal an undervalued free agent.
