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.
Ya so the picks were ammunition for another move so that part makes sense. I am scared of how many Josh Greens we'd have on this team if we actually drafted players with those picks but more likely they get traded for someone else. Jrue Holiday might have been the missed opportunity if Mavs could have landed him in a package with 2 first round picks before Bucks got him.
