2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[SleepingHero]

So your reasoning for the Mavs being a better run franchise than the Knicks is that the Kings are utter dumbf***s. Not sure that´s the hill I´d like to die on.

Given the fact the Mavs went out of their way to move up and take the risk in drafting Doncic... yes???? 

Further, you do realize the Mavs were a good team before Luka right? They had the 2nd highest win% for 15 years from 2000-2015. Only the Spurs were better. Mavs had a 12 year playoff stretch that hasn't been matched by any team since. 

What has the Knicks done since 2000?

I can't believe we're really arguing whether or not the Mavs are a better run franchise than the Knicks... sheesh I know plan powder sucked and the Mavs wasted the last of Dirk's years (and mind you that stretch from 2012-2017 is still better than any 5 year stretch by the Knicks at any point since 2000 but I digress), but I'd reckon nearly 90% of the league would trade their last 20 years for ours. 

Also wtf is Powell and Dinwiddie/Bertans are not the Mavs fault supposed to mean?

I'm not absolving the Mavs for an expensive Powell extension that occurred 4 years ago. It was bad at the time. But what I am saying is that the negative aspect of his contract is basically null as it's an expiring. Additionally, the person making the choice behind extending Powell isn't here anymore (or so they say), so ideally the current regime won't follow the same logic as Donnie did behind extending Powell. 

Regarding Dinwiddie/Bertans, again they are overpaid. No doubt about that. BUT the Mavs aren't the ones that gave them their contracts. Second-while overpaid, these guys played vital roles in making this team the 2nd best one in the league post January, played major minutes in a run to the WCF, AND got us out of the KP contract that you loathed. SO why are we trashing them...?

I'm pointing out the logic behind the Knicks going out and overpaying role players without any sort of franchise guy is stupid team building. The Mavs having overpaid guys, while not ideal, isn't as big of a sin because the guys that are currently overpaid by your determination fit Luka incredibly well and are leading to wins.
