Mavs fans are spoiled. I have no idea whether the guys we drafted in 2020 will be anything, but the Cuban-Nelson brain trust on the whole has been far more successful than most other NBA organizations.
Yes, after 2011 it got rough. They were still routinely in the playoffs until 2016. Plan powder was dumb, but making the playoffs is still an accomplishment. People act like we've been the frigging Knicks or something.

What kind of irks me about this draft wasn’t the Tyrel or Bey picks....it was that Josh Green pick....on what planet do you pick Green over Saadiq Bey who is exactly what you needed? You don’t hit on all drafts but man some of these drafts make you wonder what’s the reason for them.
