if Lacob swings and misses again, starting to fit the Jerry Jones pattern
Hardly the same. Jones is the GM and makes every call. Lacob has at least hired guys like West, Meyers, and Dunleavy for basketball decisions.
People want the Dubs to make huge trades for star players or sign big name free agents. That was possible when the Dubs were a powerhouse and players wanted to join them. With their age, injuries, and lack of star power who really wants to come now? And what other teams really want the Dubs players outside of Curry and maybe Pod. That and salary makes trades very difficult.
At this point it doesn't matter much anyway. With the Spurs and Thunder no team is getting out of the West for the next several years. Its just good that the Dubs have won 4 times during Currys time.
The roster decisions post Jerry west have been very questionable. Multiple sources have said that our top lottery picks were influenced by Lacob rather than the coaching staff/ scouts.
We're reluctant to include 1st round picks in trades, even for younger players, but we haven't shown the ability to draft well. I don't think most of first rounders we held on to rather than trade, are even on our team (or on a team in the league).
I get wanting to hold onto picks now, but really screwed the critical window that actually would have extended our dynasty. Didn't want to cut our losses with Kuminga when it could have gotten us pascal siakam or OG, waited until it was too late.
I'll give Lacob all the credit in the world for helping right the ship and help the franchise get four titles, but he also deserves the lion share of the blame if it ends this way.
jerry jones prolly has more SB wins if jimmy Johnson stuck around
