Mavs (really Cuban) negotiate against themselves and can’t read the room as usual.
LAL could not do a direct deal with BRK that would satisfy what the Nets needed.
The Mavs were actually in the drivers seat. They had the piece BRK most needed in a Kyrie trade in Dinwiddie. They were in a position to either land Kyrie or facilitate and land assets from LAL.
Instead the Nets manage to extract not one…but TWO additional assets in DFS and the ‘29 1st…and they do so without even having to take on any of the Mavs salary bloat.
Cuban sucks at this. Hiring a sneaker salesman doesn’t appear to have fixed that.
Now they have to hit HRs in the next 18 months with their 2025 and 2027 firsts and what will be expiring deals.
