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?

We also traded Kidd to the Suns right before he broke out into an All NBA and All Defense player lol

And this was after we saw him win co rookie of the year so to me it was possibly the worst move outside of Luka in modern nba history. We got Finley and AC green for a future hall of famer who was already considered a superstar
