The Mavericks have a ticking clock known as Luka Doncic. It's fairly remarkable that we have this player, and I really believe this is the time when you go all out. I posted last year's roster on another thread and it's scary how bad it was.

Would you have been happier doing nothing at the TDL? To me, that would have been criminal. I understand our poor history at managing assets, but I can't bring myself to complain about future picks when we don't even know what they mean in terms of talent. What we have now is what's important to me.

Don’t think doing nothing would have been criminal. Those trades did not make us a contender. I am much more tolerant of them because they were young players on good contracts, but the goal needs to be contention. Getting healthy and seeing what we actually have before sending out assets would have made a lot of sense. I think the biggest motivator may have been to get off Williams
