Difference is just in drafted. Hawks drafted most of their team in several losing years. Phoenix did the same, even failed extremely badly on a couple of top picks along the way (Zizic, Chriss, Jackson, even Smith from this season looks like big mistake), but they still managed to draft Bridges, Booker, Johnson and Ayton.
Should Mavs spend more years tanking? I am not sure. Should Mavs be more brave in the last two seasons adding talent around Luka instead of waiting for that golden chance? I would say yes. Although they do have time to correct it. I don't think a total rebuild of the team is needed. But new management should get a chance to clean up a couple of mistakes of the past.
