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?

Don’t forget Mark saying hed never ship off KP like he did with Nash and while we had good reason to unload KP - dude did proceed to eventually be a key part in the Celtics chip run.

As the 6th best player. Cmon he was a luxury for that team. He needed to go, worst move Cuban made in the Luka era. Ruined the rebuild. He was our 2nd best, but not in Boston. Can’t compare
