I don´t shit on all these other teams, who have been more successful in the past 10 years without any semblance of self-reflection about my own team.
That there are even arguments about this after blowing up a championship team, Satnam Singh, JJ Redick, Rondo, Odom, Noel, Dwight Howard 300k trade down, premature Dwight extension, Rudy Fernandez hiding in Spain.....
To have arguably the best player in the league and one of the best coaches, you should have success. It´s almost f*cking impossible to be as bad as the Mavs.
People make fun of Charlotte, Sacramento, Orlando or Detroit as franchise failures all the time, but guess who is right there with them as winless in the play-offs for the last decade: the Dallas Mavericks. And none of these teams started their tenure with an NBA title.
You seem to be an incredibly results oriented fellow.
Win% last decade.
CHA: 0.4454 (36 wins per season avg)
SAC: 0.377 (31 wins per season avg)
ORL: 0.4366 (36 wins per season avg)
DET: 0.4388 (36 wins per season avg)
DAL: 0.5168 (42 wins per season avg)
Playoff appearances
CHA: 2 appearances
SAC: 0 appearances
ORL: 4 appearances
DET: 2 appearances
DAL: 7 appearances
Playoff wins this decade:
CHA: 3
SAC: 0
ORL: 5
DET: 0
DAL: 26 (10 if you don't want to count the championship)
Championships
CHA: 0
SAC: 0 (unless we're counting the one from 1951 when they were called an entirely different name and in a different city. Then its 1)
ORL: 0 (last finals appearance 2009)
DET: 3 (last finals appearance 2005)
DAL: 1 (last finals appearance 2011)
So no. The Mavs as a franchise are not "right there with CHA/SAC/ORL/DET". Not even close. Maybe you should lighten up a bit?
