Every single team making runs yearly are not skipping steps to make a run. Denver, Miami, Boston, Sacramento, Memphis, GS, Milwaukee all built their teams over years of drafts and trades and collecting assets for trades. Mavs keep trying to jump over steps and dont have assets because theyre short on time??

Bingo. The problem is what is the alternative? If you can fill out the team trading the 10th pick, then you do it. But I can't see that happening.

And let's say Luka does eventually ask out. Do you want a team full of young prospects or a team full of over the hill vets who have no value?

Dallas41 acts like we are full of young guys and no vets. We literally have two promising young players in Hardy and Green. Two.

.

If it was a top 4 pick, I could see getting back actual rotational pieces. But not with the 10th pick, this isnt the nfl. Teams are not tripping over themselves to give up much value to get the 10th pick(or not the value the mavs are probably seeking). Maybe Im way off though.
