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.

The problem is....
Ayton came to Phoenix in the same draft as Luka
That's why I said Ayton and Booker.....
I'm comparing the roster building since Ayton and Booker teamed up. The Suns were better at building the roster around those two and it's not even close.
Their draft decisions were smarter and then they ignored a specific time line unlike the Mavs and went after a quality skilled veteran player to help win now (Paul) regardless if he wouldn't be around when Ayton/Booker hit their prime.
Mavs are so hell bent on specific types of players that a move like that would immediately get shot down by the organization because the specific players they need or want have to fit the Luka time line or either Rick's precious system.
