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

[F Gump]

Ugh.  I hate that all the talk is about the backcourt.  Given their inability to rebound at an acceptable rate, IMO THJ and Bullock are better suited at the 2.  Same with DFS.  He's more of a long athletic wing at the SF than PF.  To do this we need a starting PF and move DFS to SF.

I don't think the Mavs see it that way at all. My sense of things is that they want to improve their rebounding WITHIN the same setup. While they want to rebound better, I think they won't sacrifice their offense or their setup to get there (ie, I don't think they would only have 1 creator and 2 bigs on the floor).

Right now on the roster they employ 3 bigs (Wood, Maxi, DP). While I like the idea of a player like Hartenstein or Smith, I am coming to see those as very unlikely because of assets to spend, opportunity, and a lack of willingness (imo) to tie up a 4th roster spot there.
