They probably could've picked up James as an UDFA too! And they sold low on Crowder after hitting on that pick. The Mavs FO is all over the map- just like Cuban. No governing intelligence or semblance of a plan- still! Ok, maybe finally a semblance- though they undermined that even by not embracing the tank and continuing the youth movement in order to win meaningless games.
Cuban is a seriously flawed, unreliable narrator. Innovative yet always a step or two behind. By turns down to earth and pompous. Thoughtful and off the cuff crazy. I love that he cares SO MUCH and not as a goofy affectation in the manner of Steve Balmer. But he overestimated his own basketball and dealmaking acumen incredibly.
