Instead just allowing Luka to repeatedly launch up bad step back 3's in every close game outcome
I see no reason why that lineup couldn't have competed with the likes of Denver, Memphis or Sacramento in a 1st round series
Hell even after watching the play in tournament games imo the mavs could have beaten any of those teams
Nothing we can do about it now but with west so wide-open I feel like they essentially waisted a year with Luka and kyrie do to poor FO decisions

I'm head of the Kidd needs to be fired train, but if that doesn't happen, then you absolutely tank for a high draft pick.
And you still risk being Chicago where you make the play-in just to convey your pick.
The season ended with those Charlotte games.
