POLL: In or out on the Lowry pursuit?

[KillerLeft]

I mean, sure, but isn’t the crux of the argument against Donnie about what he didn’t do? Those that argue for him base it on what he did, but the overwhelming evidence against is about the negative.

I try to evaluate moves against doing nothing. As in, did the move make the team better or worse, in the short and long term? 

I also think it's fair to identify a type of player we want them to go after, taking a bird's eye view of roster construction and fit. "They're going after a PG, when they need a big" is an oversimplified but fair example of this. 

I just think it's bizarre to pin all of our opinions and/or expectations on a single target for all the reasons I mentioned above. Example: Brogdon from the last few years, or Collins this summer.

Sometimes we get a sense of why moves don't get made, like with Crowder this past off-season, and in that case, I think it's fair to have a take on whether you'd have offered the extra year or whatever. But in situations wherein we don't even know the two sides ever talked, I don't think it's fair to assume that's ALL the Mavs' decision.
