Come to think about it, aside from the Rondo trade, the only trades I can remember where the Mavs got the short end of the lopsided stick were the Zachanelli and Nellie firesale trades - a first and an unfavorable swap for Montross, Kidd for Finley, Green, and don't-wanna-be-here Cassell, Mashburn for Thomas, don't-wanna-be-here Danilovic, and Muursepp (whose claim to fame is that Jokic looks like him), and the infamous Bradley trade, which at least allowed the Mavs to tank for Dirk. Rondo is the only major misstep since before Dirk that I can remember right now.
I was intending to point out that the Kidd trade was not a Nellie trade but you gave Zachanelli credit...
That Montross trade might be, NOT among - BUT the absolute of worst trades in the History of the Franchise.
The problem with the Kidd trade came down to NOT getting Nash as a rookie in the deal.
The Bradley deal hinged on Robert ICE Pack, and looks bad due to him never being healthy...
But yeah, I give a ton of credit and maybe Donnie's absolute strongest attribute as a GM is his ability to make trades. Nellie was good, but Donnie has made Albatross' disappear and eventually flipped Antoine Walker for JET
