In hindsight, we will have made the same mistake as the Pelicans did with Anthony Davis. I viewed the KP trade as a high risk/high reward move at the time, but it was just a dumb decision. We should have tanked in 2018/2019, and 2019/2020 too.

We had the opportunity to pick a couple of very useable players in 2020 but whiffed on all 3 for gods sake. 2019 offseason (waiting for Danny Green) and 2020 draft will be the dominos set in motion that drives a winless in playoffs Luka away in 2 years.

I was the one clamoring to give Green time but honestly you're 100% right. We fucked up. Cuban, specifically, fucked up. Whoever drafted Luka and Brunson should have had the final say on our pick.

What makes you think they would have made better decisions had they not traded for KP? Mavs had every opportunity to improve the roster in the FA of 2019 and decided to sign Seth Curry and Delon Wright.

2020 draft worst in recent history. Did nothing in FA other than trade Curry for J-Rich.

2021 FA Could have gone after guys Derozan or Dinwiddie and decided one dimensional THJ was worth 20 million.

You would think the FO, and many fans too mind you, would understand that you just need to keep stockpiling talent even if the fit isn't there or they have a few flaws.

This. Thank you for stating what should be obvious to anybody with half a bb brain.
