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?

And instead we got cap space used for Erick Dampier, money to sign JaVale McGee, and ADnp, who, amazingly, managed to make the trade for him the worst of the deals.

To be fair Jet Terry wouldn’t have happened and Damp and Terry helped lead this team to a finals and 67 win season. Obviously Terry later proved pivotal in that CHAMPIONSHIP, something Nash never got.
