Conley had the option to come here twice and declined. Melo wanted no part of DAL. Neither did Dwight Howard or Deron when it mattered.
The list is nearly endless. We have a full decade of failed FA attempts. We’re just not a premier destination for that teambuilding avenue and it’s fine. You just gotta make adjustments at some point.
Heck I have never been to the US and Texas/DAL probably isn’t even in my top 10 of places I’d want to visit for vacation when I come over for the first/second/third time.
The discussion is about the performance of the Mavs' "new regime," so the boatload of ancient history you mention has little, if any, relevance.
Nico has been on the job approximately one month.
He inherited zero 2021 draft picks and limited assets.
Free agency doesn't start for another 25 hours.
How do you know exactly what Nico has or has not done during his brief tenure (so far) with the Mavs?
