HALLELUKA: Luka Clinches All-NBA 1st team. 4th in 5 years

[dynamicalVoid]

Cuban isn't going to tank.  Even if Luka isn't 100%, he's too good to let the team be awful enough for our draft position to matter.  Cuban doesn't value the draft.  Cuban's front offices have a dismal track record in the draft.  I just don't see it.  

We are also 7-4 which would be a pretty terrible job of tanking.

Pardon the ignorance...

But...If Mavs acquired a legit 2nd Star and focused on draft capital...could they not turn this around pretty quickly if they picked good in the draft?  

I assume the draft route with Luka on the clock is not an option...but Mavs need to incorporate young draft talent on cheap contracts into their game plan at some point.

Is the draft route not an option?  Without being too hair-brained...I am suggesting something along the lines of trading little talent we have for a 2nd/2.5 star and the rest for draft assets.  Unless what we have makes sense to trade for a good draft asset over a 2/2.5 star.

I assume DFS, Maxi, JB, KP, THJ, Bullock could be variously packaged for 2.5 + draft assets or Nice draft asset/s + average draft assets/player.
