2. Parsons, Matthews, Jordan were all fails.
3. We´ll see what happens with Bagley. Mavs skipped Mitchell, Adebayo and Collins. Even a case for Allen or Kuzma could be made to select DSJ.
4. Not the only one.
5. He didn´t draft Chriss. He traded the pick for Bogdanovic and #13.
My claim was Vlade is not good in his role. Arguments that someone else is also making mistakes does not make him a good manager.
1. Mavs ackowledged their mistake and moved on. Vlade repeated it.
2. They didn't happen in the same summer. Besides, Parsons and Matthews were injured. Jordan last year or 2016? Last year was not really a mistake since they gave him a 1 year deal which was used to get KP and THJ.
3. Half a league skipped those guys. A bit different than 2018 draft. If Luka and Bagley continue approximately same as they started, this will be in the same category as Portland drafting Bowie over Jordan.
4. So?
5. My bad. But check out - he drafted Papagiannis. Were the rights to some European guy, former 2nd round pick, really so costly that this was the only way to get them? Although to be honest, it was a really weak draft class.
I didn´t say he was good, I said he was average at worst.
18th best record in the league, playing in the better conference.
So why would he be the top target for a dumb TRADE as the "funny" comment references. Trading is actually the GM part, I´d say he´s good at. Yeah he made a mistake not taking Doncic, so did some other teams.
Basketball is a sport, where one decision can change everything. We´d probably be dead last in the West right now, if the Kings or Hawks take Doncic. Instead Donnie Nelson is a genius.
