Averaged 41+31+18 per game! The worst general manager in the league, gave up the three top backcourts, and failed to form the top three picks

On November 3, after the new NBA season started, many players in the league posted explosive statistics. This season feels like everyone has returned to the 2000s, an era of great individual heroism. So far this season, 8 people have averaged more than 30 points per game, and 11 people have averaged more than 27 points. As the season progresses, the players' data may decline, but it is estimated that the competition for MVP this season will be very fierce.

The one with the highest scoring average this season is Doncic. He has played 4 games since the start of the season and scored 40+ in three games. Today's game against the Heat was not so explosive, but he also scored 2 With 9+ triple-double data, Doncic this season is aiming for the regular season MVP. Under his leadership, the Lakers are now ranked third in the Western Conference. You must know that this is the team's record since James has been absent in the regular season.

With Lao James, the Lakers might be the top two in the Western Conference now. After Doncic lost weight, not only did he become better physically, but his attitude and flexibility on the defensive end were also better. Looking at Luka now, I know that the most The happy ones must be the Lakers management and Lakers fans, and the saddest one is probably Dallas. Do you think that if the Mavericks send thick eyebrows, Christie + a first-round pick, and the new No. 1 pick Flagg to exchange for Doncic, would the Lakers do it? I think the Lakers will definitely refuse.

It is estimated that Pelinka never thought that such a good thing could happen to him in his life, and this transaction may make Pelinka leave his name in the history of the Lakers and even the history of the NBA. This is definitely one of the most successful transactions in history. Seeing Doncic's outbreaks again and again, it is estimated that Mavericks fans are complaining more about Harrison now. The general manager has always thought that he has a unique team building concept, and they want to form a defensive lineup to win games.

For this reason, Harrison got the thick eyebrows. He intended to let the thick eyebrows partner with Irving to rush for the championship. As a result, this guy was also very lucky. He got the 25th No. 1 pick Flagg. The new No. 1 pick has not performed as well as he should, his thick eyebrows are now injured, and Irving is also recovering from his injuries.

If we veto a general manager just because of one transaction, then we would be biased. Since Harrison joined the Mavericks, his poor operations have far outnumbered his successes. Before Doncic, the Mavericks also had an outstanding point guard named Brunson, who had been assisting Doncic before. In 2022, the two led the Mavericks to the Western Conference Finals, but ultimately lost to the Warriors, who won the championship that year.

Logically speaking, these two core players should stay, right? Brunson averaged 21.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in the playoffs. If this is his regular season data, perhaps we should carefully consider whether he is suspected of cheating. However, he has performed like this in the playoffs, and he has also produced data in the fourth year of his career. A 100 million contract for such performance seems really cheap.

But the Mavericks refused to give it, so Brunson joined the Knicks with a four-year, 104 million contract. After joining the Knicks, everyone should have seen Brunson's performance. He led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals last season, and now He is vaguely at the level of the top point guard in the Eastern Conference. If the Mavericks had kept them, the results may have been different. Now Brunson averages 31.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He is also the top ball-handling core in the league.

In addition to these two, at the trade deadline last year, the Mavericks also sent away one person, and he was Grimes. At that time, Grimes wanted a contract with an average salary of about 15 million. As a top blue-collar, he is indeed worth so much, and he also has good big-hearted attributes. Even if the team did not want to give it at the time, it should be kept until the offseason. After all, Grimes is a restricted free agent, and the Mavericks can choose to keep him with a qualifying offer.

But the Mavericks didn't want this. They exchanged Martin, who has a long-term contract, with an average salary of more than 8 million. They believed that Martin could replace Grimes. Facts have proved that the Mavericks were wrong. The 76ers used a qualifying offer to retain Grimes, and Martin became a premium contract for the Mavericks, and the team couldn't give it away even if they wanted to. Grimes is now the main outside firepower of the 76ers. This season, he averaged 18.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. He shot 45% from three-point range and averaged 5.2 three-pointers per game.

When Grimes had absolute possession of the ball last season, he averaged 20+ points per game and performed at a star level. If one of these three can be retained, it is estimated that the current Mavericks will be even better. The Mavericks did not renew Harrison's contract this summer, and they are probably disappointed with him. Speaking of which, what do you want to say about the current Mavericks and Harrison?
