AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel
(07-31-2022, 09:38 AM)omahen Wrote: I can't agree about Ujiri. He took a gamble at Kawhi, gamble paid off. Kawhi left yet Toronto is still in the playoff picture. The difference with Mavs is, that Toronto has desirable players on good contracts and a whole chest of picks. So it seems they are better positioned to trade for the "Alpha" than Mavs are positioned to trade for the "Beta".

Positioned is the key word here.
The likes of West and Riley & Buford built dynasties,  non of Ujiri or Ainge built that to be in that tier category. 

Ujiri is great GM, yeah. But that gamble worked (with ton of luck, healthy GSW would have beaten them ) but after that he worked well with what he has and it that is why he is very good/greatbGM. but isn't that legendary status of West and Riley.

As for my semi-comparison Donnie, who has his ton of faults btw and overstayed for sure, is that he also made the Mavs a playoff team 4 out of next 5 years after the franchise blowing out the whole roster, with only Dirk and Marion staying more than 1 season.

He wanted to draft Giannis in 2013, and had an owner who didn't believe in draft picks or acquiring them. Once we tanked we ended up with both Luka and Brunson through 2 seasons of tanking.
