I don't think Mavs were in the playoff with Kyrie honestly, Memphis was clearly the better team even with and injuried Ja.
The problem was the city situation, the "Fire Nico" chants everywhere and the fans riot, they didn't expect that.
Probably without those things Mavs would have had the reward in a few years not now.
Everyone is free to think whatever they want but the odds are heavy against a clean lottery (Mavs-Spurs-76ers trio was like 0,018%) and the timing is... Ouch.
