In addition to what is said, we were never that good or that lucky.
We started our FA approach in 2011 and decided to blow out our championship team and get FA, back then DWill, CP3, & Howard were close to be FA.
But Dirk was going to be 34 at the 1st FA , that isn't a good age for younger superstar unless you are Lebron. So we weren't goid.
CP3 & D12 planned to join Dirk here, but they found they could do a Melo and join super team through trades. So we weren't lucky.
DWill had a chance to stay with what looked like a more competitive team and the other stars moved on and we looked like treadmill.
After that, we were actually a treadmill team lol. No decent FA was going to sign for us unless for better money.
Then we have Luka, who is young and unproven, and we decided to do Cavs mistake and accelerate rebuild and trade for KP. In 2019 no one was going to join rookie Luka and team build around European players who had 3 lottery appearances in row. (Again, not good)
Then we are up to strong FA class in 2021, we are armed with young super star, who has been building good relationships and fans around the league, more competitive team, cap space, but Covid happened.
Superstars won't risk short term contract, teams willing to pay to keep their stars since they know cap space will boom in few years, our 2nd star gets injured and suddenly the biggest star FA isn't even a real star and we don't fit his timeline. That had a lot of bad luck IMO.
Huge part of both the bad luck and not goid was on the management who insisted on it, and I still yhink this was on Cuban
