This is the biggest problem, I think. Max money means you're on the floor, no matter what. To beat the Mavs, Lue had to pull Zubac, basically, but nobody batted an eye at that because he is paid like a guy who that happens to from time to time.
No matter what Porzingis gives you on defense, coaching in Dallas right now means that you have to live with it. It is an untenable situation, imo.
