Do the Mavs have a legit 2nd scoring option that we can run the offense through when Luka is out or on the bench? Is that type of an offensive player easier to get or is it much more easier to get a more hard nosed defensive player?
I am not at all disagreeing with you that it might not be the best fit or that it doesn’t move the needle much in terms of a title. What I am saying is all elite teams have two legit scoring options. All teams even lower ones crave more to get legit scoring options. Get Sabonis in here if you can, and see how it is working out. If it is not working out, there will still be a lot of takers for his talent regardless of his defensive weaknesses.
The Mavs need another scoring option but the question isn´t as simple because your proposed offensive option is a defensive liablity. A random hard nosed defender won´t fix that. Would love to run football rotations but that´s not an option. And I don´t think that it would be as easy to move Sabonis if things aren´t working out in Dallas because that would mean that his defense was exposed once again. At some point that is going to hurt his value.
