DFS is probably a decent 9th man, maybe. So, what additional two pieces are needed to elevate Luka, KP, Brunson, THJ, JRich, and Maxi into a title contending roster? You need a good big who can rebound obviously and a starting 3. Luka, KP, and JRich start with the two new guys and THJ, JB, and Maxi form a nice bench, with some minutes for DFS and others as needed.
Listened to Stein's locker room chat and a couple of pods from guys with sources regarding moves that might be made before the deadline.
Mavs would like to upgrade their shooting. Would also be interested in shoring up their depth at center, but that is a lesser priority for now. Stein says it is highly unlikely that KP will be traded. Also, the Mavericks really thought this roster was going to click, and have been very surprised that it hasn't.
