This doesn’t get stated enough: trading for picks doesn’t mean you’re not trying to win.
At draft night the additional pick would have been a big help in trying to put together a trade for a nr 2 guy. Now we’re doing what? Rehab Dinwiddie & Bertans? They’ll never be as useful in a trade as a 1st round pick.
We have developed an absurd stance on draft assets in this organization. It’s almost like they’re actively trying to negotiate the picks out of their deals. It’s more than disturbing at this point, they need a reality check.
But once again: we’re used to this for years so why are we even wasting our time.
I almost look forward to the day Luka leaves this mess behind. I’d be genuinely happy for him. He deserves better. And I could finally move on, it really hasn’t been fun following the Mavs in a long time.
