Neither do teams that lack evaluation and blow their wad on over the hill vets with holes in their game leaving you with an asset you cant move and being left with no draft assets to acquire players via trade or draft.
Draw the line in the sand on timeframe...because I see us arguing about timeframe eventually. I think you are going to suggest that the Mavs HAVE to win now and I disagree with that.
It may take 2 years longer but would set the franchise up for longer term success.......but, imo, Mavs should draft or acquire a few younger pieces with bball fundamentals that play both sides of ball that they think fits long term and then fill in the remaining hole with your vets. I believe the easiest way to do that is through draft since apparently no one wants to come to Dallas in FA and the playoff playable, plug and play 2way vet market is astronomical. What gives me reservations about this approach is that I believe Luka is probably like Old Man Lebron...doesnt want to play rookies because of their advanced bball IQs and dealing with players making mistakes. And...to be clear...I am not for a complete sell off and tear down...just take the draft more seriously and dont throw draft assets around. Especially on vets with holes in their game or have past injuries.
But if you want to slap lipstick on a pig because you want to win now...I agree with you I guess.
