Maybe it´s time to look at the real culprits and stop blaming the players.
This is all on Carlisle, Nelson and Cuban.
Why is this team tired?
Cause 60% of the roster barely played the last few weeks (or all season)! Whose decision was that (roster configuration/playing time)?
What did the Mavs do to rectify this at the deadline?
Basically NOTHING. They should have acquired Drummond and signed Parker to strengthen our depth chart offensively. Would have cost roughly the same as Redick (who doesn´t want to be here) and Melli (who the Mavs didn´t want to be here).
Why do Doncic and Porzingis not click together? Why does Porzingis not click at all?
How is the main responsibility/blame with the 22/25 years olds. What about the 30 year veteran NBA coach for failing to build a proper offense/defense around them in 24 months or the GM for failing to build a proper squad around them in 24 months.
I mean okay we trade Porzingis. You think the MBT is going to win the trade? Why do we trust them to suddenly get it right, when they haven´t for the last 10 years.
The praise they get for drafting the most successful young player in basketball history after butchering the tank to get him is astonishing. Think about it. Luka was literally the most accomplished young player in basketball history. Nobody at age 19 could match that. So basically the Mavs want credit for drafting potential LeBron and not potential Al Horford (WCJ) and potential Tyson Chandler (Mo Bamba). And while the teams ahead should have taken Luka, it´s not like three of the four players "chosen ahead" with Ayton, Young and JJJ aren´t elite talents themselves and already playing on winning teams.
