I think he never mastered the simple stuff and that is why he is looking for a job for probably under 5 million. If he did the simple stuff well, he would be a player every team wants. Only 25 still. Way too much pick and pop for me...despite having a nice touch. It he instead played like Powell or Gobert and went to the rim hard, it would be so much better.
Stein's comment (and I have no idea if the above screenshot is legit) is weird. So if they moved two centers, then Bamba could be an option? What happens if they brought in another center? Or is he talking the center lineup would be Lively, Powell and Bamba? That seems pretty risky.
Yeah... I'm kinda there with you regarding the veracity of the screenshots. I shared them just for a conversation starter and if they are true, is pretty interesting in what the Mavs are thinking.
I am not a Stein subscriber, so I can't go check myself. I do know the 1st screenshot is from a relatively big Mavs fan account so I don't think they'd be the ones to just misrepresent whatever Stein says since they're largely also looking for the truth of what the Mavs plans are. The Bamba thing could be anyone's guess.
Regardless, I do think there is some weight to the Mavs being interested in some RFA's. I just think it might actually be PJ Washington and not either Williams/Thybulle.
