Are you satisfied with the offseason (so far)

[KillerLeft]

In terms of gettin a 3rd best player next to Luka and Kyrie, the two best assets were this years #10 pick and the 2027 1st. Perhaps nothing really materialized with the #10 so the front office did they best they could. I think the reason it’s only a B off-season for some of us is because this team ain’t going anywhere with Josh Green or Grant Williams as the third best player. Both guys are barely starting level players. We’re left hoping the better fitting pieces can outshine the lack of a talent upgrade.

Plus all 4 centers on the roster have MAJOR question marks. At least getting a guy like Capela raises the floor of the team, which is why the Mavs still seem to be so desperately trying.

Right now, I can’t say with certainty this is even a playoff team, so how the hell can I give the off-season an A?

So you thought that after years of moves that didn’t work, loads of collateral damage and veeeeerrry few assets they were going to tank for a week and then turn the #10 pick into a 3rd star, vaulting themselves into instant contention?

They weren’t going to contend this year. That move isn’t out there, because it doesn’t exist. I mean, trade everything they did this summer, all of it, and add Pascal Siakim to last year’s team. Is that a contender? 

What they did will make this year WAY more fun to watch this season, will improve them in some very key areas and has an almost 100% chance of improving their ability to make themselves contenders next year or the year after. That is SOOOOOOOO much better than another year of trying to fix the Hoover Dam with duct tape, especially since the duct tape was running out!
