What's not to like?

1. Who says they´ll be late picks.
2. What are the projections on the picks that just landed the Nets Harden.
3. If those 2nd to 6th best players land us the 8th worst record, then we need to talk about it.
4. Furthermore all these guys want to get paid too and soon, so...
5. Do you want to give THJ/Richardson $17M each, DFS $12M on top of Doncic´s max and...
6. Be married to this roster for the next four years.

That´s the asset assessment game the rest of the league plays.

I know we are all Mavs fan(atic)s, but at some point you need to find reasons for our performance over the last decade.

It´s not possible to have a 359-376 record over the last decade with no play-off series win, and not have problems somewhere, whether it´s the owner, the GM, the coach, the players.

You simply cannot be good at all these positions and come away with these end results.

100%

I think the issue is all of the above...I do not know how much influence Cuban has on chasing stars and if that handicaps the move Donnie can make but we have been doing the same shit for a decade. I have seen teams transform rosters overnight over the cap. 

As for KP, the Mavs need to seriously consider how fair it is to Luka to have his number 2 guy or Robin not always practicing and sitting out games. They should be hitting their stride right now as a duo yet here we are still waiting on KP to his rhythm. 

I seriously consider trading KP and moving on as the risk out weighs the reward at this point. Luka deserves better...
