2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

I think all of this makes Cuban look the worst.   He seemed to run the franchise like a startup and his management style like a moth attracted to light.   Hopefully the new GM installs some discipline in all levels of basketball operations and Cuban lets them follow a plan.   

I think a lot of times we think of the home run trade we can pull off when in reality we have to focus on singles and doubles.  Sometimes those singles and doubles overperform.   I look at the moves the past few years and we were all over the place.   Delon Wright is a solid player but was not the type of player to play with Luka.   Wes Iwundu was a penny stock but it took him a few weeks to realize he wasn't the guy.   Compare that to a similar investment in Sterling Brown and that appears to be a much better fit in how we play....we will see though.  James Johnson just wasn't the right guy.  ETC.

I really hope the new leadership follows a strategy of Memphis.    Pick up Kyle Anderson.  Acquire and develop Dillon Brooks.    Make a small trade for DeAnthony MelTon.  Get Grayson Allen thrown into a trade.   Hit your non lottery draft picks.   Some of these moves are really small but they just have been making smart moves to build around their franchise player.
