The mavs fans also deserve a front office that doesn't recklessly mortgage our future. Do you not acknowledge that trading picks that far out has MAJOR risks associated with it?
Also, my point on "slim assets" referred to our basketball assets outside of DFS/Luka/Brunson which I think is being viewed as the core of this roster moving forward.
If Mavs FO would be successful in the two windows with max cap space in the last three years, they could probably afford to sit on the picks. Since they were not, the only realistic avenue to make a true contender is trading for better players.
Of course trading picks has risks associated with it. Any move has risks associated to it. Even the one where you sit on your picks, as one possible outcome is that Luka demands trade in two or three seasons because FO values picks more than building a contender.
