That Luka trade was probably more important than all the decisions combined for any of those franchises in the last 3 years.Sure it is. The other team constantly has the bases loaded so the opportunity of a grand slam is always looming (CP3 was a pretty big hit there wouldn't you say?). We keep swinging for the home run and keep striking out.
We should also be careful about comparing apples to oranges. The Suns have been tanking/rebuilding longer than the Mavs. They are at a different stage. They were also extremely fortunate to be in the finals. Every opponent they have played had a key star injury that made a huge difference.
OUR REBUILD STARTED THE SUMMER OF 2011!
It's been the FO gift that keeps on giving.
This started out about a comment about FOs doing better than ours, which you yourself said there is truth to that. I was pointing out the truth to it. Getting a grand slam through the draft once every 23 years is not a good record.

This is $38-44M between the two. That $6-12M difference is a big deal IMO.Why are you such a penny pincher?!?!
