    The San Antonio Spurs and OKC thunder would disagree with you and have results to back them up. In a couple of years so will the mavericks.

    you absolutely have to develop your talent. The draft wouldn’t be so hyped and players killing their draft chances with teams with higher picks if who drafted you, who helped develop you wasn’t such a big deal. In every high skill job, surgery, piloting, etc you work as an apprentice for years because you’re expected to make mistakes and “developing” you is considered worth the risk.

    what your saying is just not believed by the people in charge.

    Agree with everything you said.

    My point is you don't play players based on potential. You play them based on production. As of now, Reed is producing. So it will be interesting to see what happens when FVV comes back. It'll be hard to scale back Reed's minutes.

    Tari Eason is another dude.

    If coach's philosophy is to reward production, the team is running out of minutes to play everyone if they ever get to full strength. Coach should tip the trainers and medical staff to slow roll some of these guys. lol.

    Using your example, if you pay a plumber to come fix a broken pipe at your house that is spraying water all over, you'd be cool if the company sends an apprentice because mistakes are normal? You'd pay for that?

    Nice strawman that’s not what I said, and actually that is what happens. There is the master Plummer and there is the apprentice. They actually start off with stuff you’d need an assistant to do anyways. So they aren’t unsupervised. Same thing with the mechanic. Goto any car shop.

    I’m really astonished all of this is coming as a surprise to you.
