Big difference between now and the championship.
We were one of the top tier teams with a mature roster when Cuban tore it down and the fans had a hard time dealing with that decision. Dirk was our lone star and he was 32.
I think fans realize we have two very young budding stars with superstar potential and know that the West is simply brutal right now. There are always those impatient fans that will always have "win-now" expectations but my guess is the majority of the fan base knows it will take time to construct a championship caliber team.
Horford simply doesn't fit the time table for a healthy core construction. He might fit well in terms of short-term chemistry but not well for in a long-term strategy.
He might raise our ceiling but he will severely limit as well.
I think Mavs should focus on more reasonable FAs.
