It would leave less competition for the level of guys Mavs are aiming at. I am really affraid what Portland, Houston, Indiana and even Orlando intend to do with their picks. Than you have NY who is very star hungry and has a bunch of assets. OKC will start cashing in their picks at some point. New Orleans still has a lot to spend, so does Sacramento. There are just so little teams that actually want to tank. And the ones that do, don't really have anything interesting to offer. But since there are a lot of buyers, some teams will likely decide it makes more sense to sell their "fake star" players for treasure chests and start a rebuild.
Wiggins was a fake star till he got with Steph. Lowry was a fake star till he got with Kawhi. Kyrie was a fake star till he got with LeBron. Love was a fake star till he got with LeBron. Great plan to make decisions based on what social media/ESPN thinks of players.
Or are you saying that Luka is not alpha enough to lead a Towns or Lavine to the promised land?
