Hard to argue with results. 5 of those 11 teams have made a finals/won a championship within the last 5 years. If we include Conference finals appearances, then 10/11 of them have been in at least 1 in the last 5 years.
The only one that missed out on both qualifiers are the Jazz, who have been in the playoffs for 5 straight years. Winning=good management.
The Mavs have made big strides from where they were 3 years ago. Playoffs 2 years in a row but with first round exits. Hopefully they make a leap this year. I bet you if they do you'll start seeing Mavs management being praised for their moves (as its basically a positive feedback loop. Do good=players look good=management looks good for getting good players)
