Are you satisfied with the offseason (so far)

Are you satisfied with the offseason (so far)?  No...

Love what they did with the draft.  Kudos to the new guy Dennis Lindsey. 

But Cuban has his hand on this offseason (so far) in resigning his Bromance buddy Powell.  And as of today, Powell looks to be the best starting Center candidate the Mavs have on the roster.  Did anyone pick Powell in Dan's questionnaire?  That alone tells me the Mavs should receive a poor grade for the offseason.  Oh wait, Mavs Fans favorite word every summer is Hope.  I Hope Holmes returns to his 2020/21 season with a change of scenery.  Or I Hope rookie Lively can play 20 minutes a game this season.  HOPE.

I do like resigning Kyrie to under 40 mil this season.  I HOPE Kidd and the new coaching staff can integrate them into a new system where it is not just your time / my time.

I do not understand the early signing of Curry if we can't / don't have plans to trade Hardaway.  I think Grant Williams is a DFS replacement, so there is a wash there.  Don't understand why we offered Thybulle less than the full MLE - new CBA hard capped rules or dose Cuban want to stay under the LT?

Right now I see the Mavs like this:

C:  Powell - Lively - Holmes - McGee
PF:  Doncic - Kleber - Prosper
SF:  Williams - Hardaway
SG:  Green - Curry/Hardy
PG:  Irving - Exum

I'm listing Luka at PF because he is our best rebounder.  Mavs have yet to address this need this offseason - as well as the past few years.  As for shot blocking, all we have is Hope in Holmes and rookie Lively.

Can Grant cover other teams SF's?  And is the signing of Curry going to take minutes away from Hardy?  And one last hope, Hope Green takes the next step.

OK, I lied about one last hope, I Hope the Mavs have another trade lined up for later this summer.

Well said.  I can’t get over the fact that they had the #10 pick and whatever you think of the draft day moves their main pick was a project defensive center.  Either take a player who can play right away or if banking on future potential and willing to take a chance go for a skill position.  

As for majority on this board liking these moves we have seen this time and again. Get excited in the off-season and then once the regular season starts have the excuses as to what anyone expected from a #10 pick or a Dwight Powell or a Curry.
