They are abysmal when it comes to the draft and signing free agents. They've also had a history of trading for players that their head coach has had little use for.
Drafting Luka (Brunson too) was great. Even if KP doesn't work out, that was a great trade. The problem is that when you only draft well once a decade, can't attract free agents and spent all of your assets on Luka/KP, it's going to be really hard to field a contending team around them. And if KP doesn't work out, their shortcutting of the rebuild process is going to leave them even more hamstrung.
Mavs could have attracted Bog or Brogdan a couple years ago but they went all in on Kemba. It's too bad. I think those guys would be been good options.
