MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

I have to admit a certain irritation at having one of the best players in the NBA for over 5 years, and yet we are still a team that only once in that time has had a team over 50 wins (2022). We now have better personnel, and another top tier player in Kyrie Irving, and still look weak next to maybe 5-10 other teams.

Several teams have made better strides and more moves in that window of time. We should be much better than the 2019 Dallas Mavericks - and we're not. I personally welcome some new management and am glad Cuban doesn't manage the money anymore. I hope the new owners demand results, because I'm not convinced Cuban does.

Mavs put themself in a position where they have to overcome terrible decisions of the past. Still down one pick from the KP trade. Lost Brunson. Gave up another pick to get Kyrie as his replacement. It's the same pattern. Mistake. Followed by a desperate move to make up for the initial mistake.
Almost impressive that a team that wasted as many assets without any positive return is still somewhat competitive.
