2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

I was just about to "like" this... until I got to the Green slander haha. Good write-up otherwise.

Luka
Brunson
DFS

Dinwiddie
Bullock
Maxi
Green
Bertans


Powell and THJ are serviceable NBA players for some team that isn't the Mavs, it is a must that they are upgraded this off-season.  

This turned out to be a pretty good conversation.  I agree...no Green slander allowed.  I personally think you can insert either Powell or Maxi in that backup big slot.  After a bad start, Powell is net positive in December, January, February and the one game in March.

I tend to agree with Mvossman that filling both of your X's in one season seems to be a tall task.  I wonder if Green isn't our starter in one of those slots by the 23/24 season.  I think there is a delicate balance to putting some kind of a scorer in one of those slots.  On the one hand, it would be nice to have a Grant/Collins/C. Wood or even Tobias Harris type who CAN create some O.  But, on a team with Luka, that player can't have a mindset of "I HAVE TO create some O every night".  This will be a big test for Dinwiddie eventually.
