Mavs "handcuffed" themselves this offseason to one year deals because they wanted to leave max room for Giannis.
I think the Mavs had a good offseason. But Giannis staying in Mil doesnt make our offseason look better. Maybe the Mavs pursue other players on longer deals if Giannis was already off the board. We wont ever know.
Maybe they did chase other players under long-term contracts, too. Maybe they were quoted idiotic prices like five 1st round picks for Holiday or two 1st round picks for Covington. We don´t know that for a fact. Mabye they were interested in Hayward and Gallinari, but not at those outrageous numbers.
