I just read a piece on Mavs Moneyball which makes me feel like I've been a blind idiot the past few weeks. That report about the Mavs in win-now mode, and doing everything they can to trade into the lottery? The piece basically said that the Mavs don't draft well, generally don't play rookies when they're good (the Mavs, not the rookies), and often use the draft for trades, so their likely effort right now is to obtain a lottery pick - and then turn around and trade that for an established player. 
Freaking duh. I'm so stupid to have gotten my hopes up.
Thing is, if you can get a lottery pick in this year's draft with the pupu assets the Mavs have, then that lottery pick isn't likely to get you much of a player in return, which omits the one I'd really like to see them target (Jrue). So I'll be pissed twice over.
16 days until we trade up and then trade our pick. (banghead, banghead, banghead)
