Luka is about to walk out the door he ain't got time for the mavs to be developing guys

He could care less about that damn pick as evidence by his comments spoken about the tank situation he wanted to play and make the playoffs

They better be trying to use that bullshit pick to obtain a high quality starting big or defensive wing that matters next year

Yea, I am sure there are guys who could probably contribute and maybe even start but it's a risk you can't justify right now.

I'm not even interested in a defensive wing. We have to have as close to a 2 way player as possible. No more Bullocks, Dfs, Holidays. They have to be able to play both sides of the court AND dribble the ball.

A big is top priority, though.

It feels like an eternity that Cuban goes for one dimensional players because he doesnt ever want to pay market value for big difference makers around the star. 2 way players dont grow on trees for bargains, unless youre willing to draft them. I just dont know if Cuban will spend to get whats needed around Luka.

Cuban and the FO, both previous and now, have yet to properly gauge the market value of players in both free agency and trades. That's more than fair.
