BRUNSON BURNER: to NYK for 4yrs/$104M (no SnT) | NYK docked 2025 2nd for tampering

[cow]

I mentioned the same on another thread about maybe Cuban just being honest and run the Mavs as a small market team 

The problem is doing that requires valuing and stacking picks, asset mgmt, evaluation, and a whole cultural shift from the way this franchise has done things. They think they are like the Lakers or the Heat, but the Mavs are just another franchise. No one is giving a discount to play for the Mavs. 

That is why the JB stuff is disappointing. It’s not because I am overrating JB as much as that we lost an asset for nothing and this was one of the few picks we actually hit on. Meanwhile the Spurs are trading Murray two years early.  That’s why I blame Cuban though Kamm feels it’s unfair. This whole apathy towards asset management and just looking at FA comes directly from Cuban. This despite repeatedly being one of the worst teams in FA.

Cuban's never going to do this.  He's too impatient and prideful to ever let the team be bad and go through a "process".  Losing Luka might be a wakeup call but he's just as likely to take out a full page ad in the Dallas Morning News with a spiteful message promising to get a Mavs championship before Luka does.
