Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

The Mavs have been terrible at this, and maybe for a long long time. They never seem to have big men prospects. My fandom starts in the early 90s with the 3 J's and i'm not sure i can remember any young big men that we tried to develop. 

Of course we have Dirk. But what else have we tried in the last 30+ years? Popeye Jones? Sean Rooks? Samaki Walker? Etan Thomas? Bernard James? The list is short and its bad.

Yeah, they have been terrible at a lot of things.    To add on to your point, the new front office made a point they want to surround Luka with length, but they have gone the other direction in their moves and have lost the length they had without replacing.   Even with their Two ways, they entered the season with a 27 year old shooting guard and a 6' point guard.   You would think they would look for length and keep rotating players out.   Did Dallas have anyone who fit this prototype on their G-league team (non two way?).   There was no curiosity looking  for players.   I liked what I see from Lawson but he is the type of player we need to get.
