So, when you look at their roster vs the roster of any other team that FA would consider coming to, the other rosters win. DeAndre Jordan was the one who was looking to be built around, but in the end he also chose the better roster.
Who is to blame for this? Cuban. Cuban has disdained draft picks, and the result is no core, and no youth. Just a different mix of FAs every year. Cuban did this to be in the marquee FA hunt every year, never realizing it was the very reason no one would come.
