Julius Randle wanted to be a Maverick.
Lauri Markkanen wanted to be a Maverick.
Jalen Brunson wanted to be a Maverick, and save me the Cuban BS propaganda of this being an inevitable outcome.
Facts are that if Mark Cuban wasn´t an utter moron, four of the 14 best players in the NBA right now, based on total WS this season, would be Mavericks AND ALL FOUR would be on value contracts.
This has nothing to do with nobody wants to sign here. Mark Cuban thought the combination of Dwight Powell, Maxi Kleber and THJ was better than Lauri Markkanen and Julius Randle. He didn´t recognize the talent of Brunson. That´s the reason, we are where we are. Not that nobody wants to sign here.
All the guys he actually wanted to sign, sucked within 12-18 months of his failed attempts: Hassan Whiteside, Kyle Lowry, Deron Williams, Dwight Howard.
And the guys he succesfully did sign like DeAndre Jordan, Chandler Parsons and Wes Matthews didn´t even need that long.
Facts are the Mavs/Cuban can´t recognize talent and evaluate for sh*t. I don´t see a single franchise that would be worse than us right now, if they had drafted Luka.
Sorry for ranting, but I´m sick and tired of this excuse.
One of your best posts ever, tbh.
