The Mavs were lucky more teams didn't see Dirk's Nike Hoops Summit Game (or whatever it was), but that doesn't change the fact they correctly identified him as someone worth drafting that highly.
Luck is good. I will take it, and I hope more of it is coming.
True, Thanks Kings and Hawks.

" as any other team would do in that instance"
The Mavs put themselves in position. No other team, in fact, did.
Do you think the Knicks called the Mavs out of the blue and offered KP to them?
The fact that any deal in sports requires some bit of luck means that you could be dismissive about any deal that's ever been accomplished by any team. So what's the point?
