Hmmm, I'm not so sure about this statement. I think better FOs would have protected themselves more on his current contract, but doing the same deal? I think that was a pretty easy yes.

Three FRPs and contract dumps for a current injured and often injured, 7-foot+ almost-star that didn't want to be in his current situation and would have to be given another contract before even taking his first shot?  And that after having to give up a future FRP to land Doncic in the first place.  I don't think a good front office does that deal.  Considering the reputation of the Mavs organization, I don't even blame them for the lack of protections on the contract.  They'd already gone all in and couldn't take any chance that he'd leave.
