If you're building around a 22 year old and planning for him to have the ball in his hands, there's a maturation process that you simply can't get around. It takes time for him to learn how to play to the strengths of others. Hell, it takes time to find the others in the first place. He has elevated the franchise this far just from sheer talent, but it's unreasonable to expect them to actually contend until more experience is gained, imo.
We are waiting in line, just like at six flags.
I think Cuban´s short cut approach and the success of the Dirk era really changed the perspective of most Mavs fans. I would prefer a more steady approach instead of the rushed rebuild of the last 3-5 years. Just not the most popular approach because fans and the media judge every single move based on win-now impact.
