The greatest retooling this franchise has done has gone was under Donnie trading a number of players since 2008 to 2011 and keeping players that had seasonal success. Starting with sending Harris, Diop etc for Jason Kidd, the emergence of JJ Barea, and the final added edition, trading away brick hands Dampier, Carroll, Najera for Tyson Chandler. It was a season by season cutting of players that didn't fit or started to fade, to keeping players that produce on the court and signing/trading that fit that missing role.
You can have all the powder in the world but if your franchise and city isn't a marquee market, your going to be the afterthought.
Too much focus is going to what you want (Giannis, CP, some ridiculous overpaid player) instead of a player you sufficiently need; players that bring up your team defense to top 10, players that can get hot in the 4th quarter (instead of losing by 2 points too often), players that can rebound on both sides of the floor.
Forget Giannis ! Just get this Mavs team the players that wins its all through team play.
