Your prediction is unlikely, but if its correct NY is not getting a high lottery pick from us because its top 10 protected again.
If Lindsy is so good at the draft, then why are begging to send out draft picks.
This mindset that we have to spend every asset immediately is part of what got us into this mess.
The Mavs have not been good in free agency the last 3 years with the new MBT. Let's blame that on a cheap owner. The Mavs have had the 2027 FRP for a few years now. I feel that saving FRP's to trade in a bunch on one player is the same as saving dollars to spend in a bunch on player in FA.
Let me correct the high lottery term. I meant picks 11 - 14 would be going to NYK.
Mavs are in this mess because we have a medaling owner who thinks he is a basketball person.
I disagree with your mindset comment. I believe we are in this mess because our owner thinks it's OK to let players walk for nothing. He believes that it is OK to pay assets (Picks or $$) to get rid of players.
It's Cuban's mindset for the reason we are in this mess. And we as fans are stuck with him until the new owners figure out, he is full of hot air.
