TRADE: PJ Washington+ 2 2nds To DAL | G. Williams+ Curry+ 2027 FRP (top 2 protected)

[Winter]

Don’t think doing nothing would have been criminal. Those trades did not make us a contender. I am much more tolerant of them because they were young players on good contracts, but the goal needs to be contention. Getting healthy and seeing what we actually have before sending out assets would have made a lot of sense. I think the biggest motivator may have been to get off Williams

The goal is always contention. It was contention five years ago.

You've said all this before, and I understand. I just think the idea of "waiting" has become synonymous with being lazy - at least with this organization. This FO needed to show some creativity and thankfully they did. 

The Mavericks knew what they wanted in their roster and they needed to find a way to get it.
