I´m sure Mark Cuban is honest with himself realizing that the only reason we are not sitting in 10th half a game ahead of the Lakers in 13th are literally the flukiest win in the last 30 years and Luka hitting b2b game-tying threes. That and Luka averaging 45/10/10 to beat the worst teams in the league by a winning margin of like five points. If the Mavs were honest with themselves, they´d be sellers at the deadline, play Green/Hardy and keep that top 10 pick. Cause right now we are headed exactly for the predicted classic Mavs outcome of losing in the play-in and converting the 12th pick to the Knicks.
And I don´t care whether Luka likes it or not. It´s the best strategy. Not trading future 1sts and Green to acquire Bogdanovic and Conley. Ugh.
