No surprises here. If Kawhi is finally out the Mavs are clearly favorites to win that series.

Denever lost in disappointing fashion in the second round 0-4 to the Suns.
At that time Jokic's legacy/greatness was questioned.
Entering his prime - will he be another "Lillard in Portland"-esque situatin.
They did not panic, but the critics were harsh.
They built up o what they had. They could easily trade away Murray, when his stock was low.
Gordon too and their role players were questioned.
But they kept their core.
The suns did the opposite.
I would rather had something to built on with draft picks, bridges, ayton, cam johnson than rather vet min contracts all over, no cap space, no picks left and a crazy wner who thinks there are short cuts for success.

I think a lot of us were just fine with that too. But we got a new owner and he wanted to make a splashy entrance. I think James Jones, as criticized as he is, did a pretty good job of trying to build the team organically up until Ishbia. In fact, I think Jones maybe played it too safe in many circumstances, but he wanted to minimize risk and go for something more consistent.
Unfortunately as fans, we will have to watch Ishbia grow into his role as an owner of a NBA team and the painful lessons he will have to endure. I think if the Suns stood pat, we could have still probably traded CP3 for Beal, and we'd have a well-balanced roster with guys that enjoy playing with each other and helped build that team culture.

In reality, limited skills when it comes to winning. Now we just have to blow it up and start over. The fact that the owner has a thick wallet is a good start. A few top picks and a couple of experienced free agents, maybe that's it.
