I think what it has come down to for the last decade is FRONT OFFICE COMPETENCY. People always mention things like winning culture, player connections etc. It plays a part, but I think a rather small part. What matters is that a top player feels your front office knows what it is doing.
I fear our reputations with agents is firmly in the bottom 3rd of the league. Add in some questionable comments that Cuban makes and it becomes difficult to sign top level free agents or convince them to force a trade to Dallas. Maybe Nico will prove himself to be a capable GM, sort out our FO mess and if he shows competency on top, then we will be going places.
