One thing we should attempt to reconcile is a desire for a player doesn’t result in the team caring.
In 1998 the fanbase wanted Paul Pierce a lot, particularly post draft. DMN ran some pretty cutting side by sides of Dirk and Pierces rookie seasons. It worked out for the Mavs.

In 2018, a whole, whole lot of you wanted someone other than Luka. Receipts exist, so let’s not play that game. Mavs made a power move for Luka and here we are. Same with jumping ahead for KP in a move that came out of no where.
Mavs have made a lot of mistakes over the years too: dirk insisting the Mavs trade for Rondo, letting Tyson walk twice, etc. They’ve connected big too: Antoine Walker for Terry, Jamison for Stackhouse and the pick for Devin Harris
Right now, I am 99% certain the team plans to emphasize rotating in and out 6’5 to 6’10 guys who can play across the board: ball handling, shooting, rebounding. They have a plan.
No whether or not you or me agree with that plan... *it does not matter*

So whether or not I like a player or you like a player for the team... ***it doesn’t matter***
If we could not spend quite so much time on things that aren’t going to happen that would be cool.
The Mavericks did the hard part already with the once in a generation superstar.

I struggle with this too. From the moment I saw Luka in camp I thought this might be a start to the season like the Nuggets had last year, where they just didn’t look right.
It is not about how you start, but how you finish. They have time to figure this out.

I wouldn’t be shocked if they made a move for someone at some point. The 2021 free agency class is not the Bill of goods we were sold (is it ever?). So maybe they DO trade for a big man. Won’t be the one everyone rambles about and watches box scores of
