Now he's a skinflint, we have an inexperienced GM whose hands are tied by Cuban's constipation of the wallet and the desire to make a future big move, and we have the existential situation that they have done nothing in the past month to solve their two major roster holes.
Not to mention that losing Nash during the exact summer that the hand check rule was changed probably robbed this team of two additional championships, at least. Terry was great, and I was a bigger fan of his than most, but he was no Nash. And, like you say above, there isn't currently a Jason Terry rebound player in place this time around. Still time, but Beverly wouldn't qualify even as that in my book.
Not that I wouldn't want Beverly, I would. Especially if it meant clearing out one of the 4 (FOUR !!!) rotation-level bigs.
