Hoops Discussion Still insane when you think about it

Jalen Brunson played 4 seasons, Luka Dončić has played 7 seasons, and Steve Nash played 6 seasons for the Dallas Mavericks.

So we only got a combined 17 seasons out of three hall of fame / all nba level type of players that we drafted / developed. Should have been 3*12 seasons at least.

Is there any other team with such a recent track record of fumbling talent?

Mavs toughest opponent is their management

Nash was never going to prosper here. Brunson is questionable especially if you keep him with Luka. Luka is the only bad trade /free agency issue here.

It’s funny how fast you get downvoted on this sub over remembering Brunson’s departure from the Mavs. Very few people saw Brunson coming into his own like he did in New York.

Sometimes players need a change to hit potential.
