This is Luka 3rd year and right now Phoenix is looking like they are setup for the long haul while the Mavs are looking like they are treading water unless some magical big time FA lands here in the summer.

I just know after the playoffs last year the Mavs were being billed as top 4 not the Suns.

They had more hype than Phoenix

We can agree to disagree helluva job by the Suns front office
Yes Dallas41 - you are correct. You are applying a Bayesian approach to your thinking. What happened why and when 5 years ago is irrelevant to what the Mavs need to do to get better. We still cant seem to figure out when we do have dry powder or the ability to generate dry powder (shed assets), why the big name, big talent free agents dont seem to want to come here. Bottom line: We were looked at by almost all "experts and fans alike" to be ahead of Phoenix coming into the season. Now that we have new data it is clear we are not. We all knew Phoenix had lots of lotter picks over the past 10 years but now we are using that as the reason. Bottom line #2) It doesn't matter what's the F'n reason or that things happened 5 years ago - if this FO doesn't figure it out over the next 3 years then they don't deserve to keep Luka.
