Carlisle has also done a marvelous job killing any value Bey/Green/Terry had. The Mavs approach to developing assets is among the worst in the league.
Carlisle would literally prefer to go with Melli every single game instead of throwing Bey out there for even one possession of non garbage-time.
I think Bey/Green/Terry will get their shot at some point but I still would have rather Mavs traded those picks instead of drafting those players.
I don't think acquiring assets is counter to a win-now approach. Mavs actually had more options in 2018 than they do this summer in terms of talent available and still ended up going with small moves of Curry and Wright. They didn't even use cap space that year.
