Most posters here are offering multiple firsts, 2nds, AND young players for Jrue Holiday.
Why blow the entire asset chest on an oft-injured, good-not-great guard?
I understand what you're saying here.
This is what is so frustrating about our offseason. We signed four players to excellent contracts given their ability levels - DFS, Maxi, Seth, and Wright. We had the money to go out and get two more players of that level. Instead, we have a TPE, which given our history with those, is likely to expire without incident (banghead). The Mavs are in a dangerous position. They have three, or maybe four holes (in the ten-man rotation, because it's looking to me as time goes on that Justin is *not* a playoff rotation player) to fill. Any trades they make beyond TPE + seconds or Lee + seconds is going to create more holes as well as straining chemistry. Those holes won't be able to be filled in-season, and will be difficult to fill in the offseason depending on the contract situations the players we traded for created. If we had those two more 7th-man guys, we might have some trouble distributing minutes, but we wouldn't have nearly as many concerns about roster improvements in one area hurting it somewhere else.
