MV, I get your point. I think the biggest place where we part company is demonstrated when you say "I said we have limited assets. Most teams doing a full rebuild tank for multiple years to stockpile picks." You are apparently defining assets as "whatever future picks a team has" (so you see the Mavs asset pool as "limited" and needing to pursue more picks) whereas I define assets as "whatever talented players on good contracts a team has been able to acquire" (so I see them as having lots of assets and merely needing to use their talent-in-hand to try to win games rather than not).
Would I prefer more picks? Sure. But picks don't win games. The goal should be winning.
