I don't think team "pile assets" has the impression that the Mavs should be able to outbid anyone, exactly, but it would be nice if they were at least able to cobble together a real offer if someone great WANTED to come here to play with Luka, because I swear that's going to happen, eventually.
Having said that, they did what they did, so it's time to root for this team and hope for the best. I certainly won't cry about the Mavs missing out on Trae Young, lol.
All four situations I mentioned are more attractive than the Mavs. How many players want to come to Dallas vs NY, LA, or Philly?
Thats why I put Utah and maybe San Antonio in the less attractive category.

Yeah…that’s working out really great getting a guy who wanted to be in Miami. Milwaukee probably closed their window shut going all in one guy in his 30s.
