DFS, Maxi and RB are properly paid for their roles. It´s just that the Mavs are a shitty run organization in general that everything is magnified.
Green is averaging 6/2 this year and everybody here is like IT`S HAPPENING. LOOK IT TOOK A WHILE, AND I`M NOT SAYING, HE`LL BE BETTER THAN BEY, BUT....
That´s what being a Mavs fan does to so many. Complete and utter delusion and overrating every glimpse of hope.
Bane is averaging 25/5/5. Maxey is averaging 24/4/4. Bey is averaging 17/5.
Markkanen and Brunson currently combine for 43 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists per game. They cost a combined 40M.
I´d say the probability that Markkanen, Brunson and one of Bane/Maxey/Bey are on the Mavs right now, if the franchise was run by an above average front office and an owner willing to spend are around 70-80%. Markkanen or THJ, Brunson extension or walk, Bey or Green. Those are not even tough decisions. It´s just common sense.
I think you can win a title with a core of Doncic, Brunson, Markkanen, Bey, DFS, Bullock, Kleber and Dinwiddie. Might have won it last year.
