BUT here are some combinations that the Mavs could have gotten with their resources this summer:
Ricky Rubio/Thomas Bryant
Dennis Schroeder/Andre Drummond
Goran Dragic/Jalen Smith
Javale McGee/Facunda Campazzo
Imagine that you picked option #4.
FIND ME ONE PERSON that has watched any basketball in the last two years, besides the MBT that would pick option #4.
Even if you picked a person that has never in their life watched a basketball game, there is a 75% chance you come away with a better outcome than the one the Mavs pro-actively chose.
The level of stupidity it takes to come up with McGee/Campazzo. Even right now you could still find a better two player combination on the free agent market.
Oh my god am I glad we didn't go after Schröder/Drummond.
Don't know if Rubio is back to playing good basketball after his ACL.
To make it short. That's nothing that changes anything at all.
Not extending Brunson is the problem. And I still can't see how to fix it.
