I don't mean mistake, as in relative to something else I would've preferred they do, I just mean he isn't the player who they (and we) thought they were buying. With the benefit of hindsight, I would much rather have those two first-round picks, and/or the ability to include them in another deal. Even the memory of DSJ has me feeling nostalgic, though that's probably just the disappointment talking.
At the end of the day, it's not the trade that screams "mistake" to me, it's the contract. The Mavs are in a real pickle with this one, imo. The sooner they get out of it, the sooner they can start building a championship team.
