Does make me wonder if there are more talented players we can get that also fulfill that role though.
The Theo feedback is a bigger deal than it might seem.
This is a world of massive egos, all looking for theirs. But players 11-15 in your pecking order are only emergency guys, for whom a huge part of the qualification is "Will he be ready if needed, but not rock the boat in the meantime?" The 2-ways, players 16-17, even more so.
The Mavs seem to be paying too much for those end-of-roster guys, generally, but when one of them adds to the mix without playing, that's huge.
