But, at the end of the day, it's the Mavs front office types' job to guess right on those "what ifs." That might be an unreasonable standard, but they get paid a lot to make basketball their living, which is obviously a privilege, and that same unreasonable standard is hanging over the heads of every front office in the NBA.
Personally, I just can't let them off the hook for allowing the worst possible scenario to play out with an asset on Brunson's level, even if we here decide the odds were against them reaching a better outcome. Beating those odds, when necessary, is their job, imo.
