No you couldn't have added Brogdon. He cost a 1st round pick.
Mavs went after a bunch of big names who all picked much better teams. Mavs were just coming out of the lottery and Luka hadn't made a jump yet. Why would they choose Mavs over a better team?
Looking back at the free agents that year the only non role players that we weren't in on were Russell and Randle. Russell who had major character concerns that almost nobody wanted and Randle who was not remotely the level of player he is now. We were already taking a risk on a high upside player with a big deal with KP lol.
I mean criticize the Mavs all you want for not being able to get anyone major to sign here. But context matters when the Mavs were coming out of the lottery (they also didn't get that pick) with Luka not being Luka.
