There has been a lot of talk about the Suns, Hawks and Griz running better organizations than the Mavs, and there is definitely some truth to that, but they all had a chance to get Luka at a smaller asset cost than it took the Mavs, and yet it was Donnie who pulled the trigger.1. The truth to that is not about 1 decision. Sure, we got Luka right. Great, I'm glad we can swing for home runs and get a grand slam. Problem is those other teams are scoring every other inning (1-2 runs per), and we got the 1 grand slam. It's a blow out, but we got that Sportscenter moment!
2. I still lean towards most of our issues from a FO perspective being at Cuban's feet, and we would probably have been a lot better off if he had let Donnie be a true GM.
2. If Donnie didn't have enough backbone to fight for making MC let him make the decisions or quit, what makes you think we would have probably been better off if MC gave him the ability? If he ever gets another high end FO job in the NBA, maybe we'll see something from him. I'm willing to bet either he doesn't get that job, or he doesn't do much with it.
