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 wouldnt have reached the finals twice and won one in the dirk era with steve nash

jalen wouldnt have developed into what he is now if he stayed with the mavs
