I´ll say this. Dragic wasn´t the completely right guy either (down to 7/3, shooting 42/32/57 last ten games), cause he is simply old and might fade over the season.
BUT here are some combinations that the Mavs could have gotten with their resources this summer:
Ricky Rubio/Thomas Bryant
Dennis Schroeder/Andre Drummond
Goran Dragic/Jalen Smith
Javale McGee/Facunda Campazzo
Imagine that you picked option #4.
FIND ME ONE PERSON that has watched any basketball in the last two years, besides the MBT that would pick option #4.
Even if you picked a person that has never in their life watched a basketball game, there is a 75% chance you come away with a better outcome than the one the Mavs pro-actively chose.
The level of stupidity it takes to come up with McGee/Campazzo. Even right now you could still find a better two player combination on the free agent market.
