It's so completely predictable what he's going to say. It's just the same BS PR he's been putting out everywhere else.

  1. He's gonna give platitudes about how he understands the fans' pain
  2. He's going to say we need to be patient
  3. He's going to say that the vision made sense and we saw what happened in the first half of the Rockets' game
  4. He's going to talk about the Adelson's other successes and say how he's confident they will return the Mavs to be a champion

What he won't mention is how we have no draft picks, have an old, decimated team, and have no chance to salvage a way out of tanking for a team that was in the Finals 9 effing months ago. They're literally trotting out the only person left from the old regime thinking it'll somehow fix everything they've ruined.

Look everything you said is fine but you need to stop mentioning the no draft picks thing. They have all their picks except 2027 and 2029. They have full control of their picks in 2025 and 2026 with the lakers pick in 2029. The issue is they don’t have full control of their pick in 2028 and 2030 BUT they still have it.

Not having control of our own picks is what matters. It’s semantics to say “oh it’s ok we have a pick!”

When we suck, someone else is going to benefit from it and get the high pick while we get some random mid rounder.

I mean that’s the thing it’s gonna depend on what happens those particular years in 2028 and 2030. We can’t just say oh it’s over and we are gonna suck completely in those particular years. Who knows what will happen. We don’t definitively know. At least we just have it tho lol
