Does Dallas have the worst GMs/owners in the country?

Second worst trade in NBA history. The Pacers originally had the #2 pick in the 84 draft and traded it to Portland. Which they used to draft Sam Bowie. And then the Bulls drafted Jordan with the #3 pick.

The Mavs tried to trade up to get Jordan but Chicago ended up keeping the pick. The Mavs ended up drafting Sam Perkins at #4.

I always liked sleepy Sam, but Dallas left Charles Barkley on the table with that Perkins selection in 1984. In 1985 they selected Detlef Schrempf and Bill Wennington. They left Charles Oakley, Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, AC Green and Terry Porter on the board.

How about an Oakley, Malone, and Barkley front-court? I loved the Mavs back then but what a brutal draft. Apologies for the derail.

It's all good bro. I like looking back at what could have been. I was shocked when I found out that the Mavs tried to get the 3rd pick. Can you imagine if Jordan had been a Maverick!! That would have been amazing.

Another note about the 84 draft is that Houston had considered trading Ralph Sampson for the #2 pick and Clyde Drexler (who ending up playing for the Rockets later in his career). So Houston would have had Olajuwon, Drexler and probably Jordan. That would have been an amazing team.
