'22-23 ------------> 23-24
October Starters
Luka --------------> Luka
Dinwiddie --------> Kyrie (Adds offense)
Bullock ------------> Green (Adds energy, subtracts experience & shooting. Thybulle would've been nice)
DFS ----------------> Williams (Is GW an upgrade over DFS?)
McGee -------------> Lively (Doubt DL starts, but should get 8 min / half)
Bench
Kleber --------------> Kleber
Wood ---------------> Holmes (Remains to be seen what RH brings)
THJ -----------------> THJ
Powell --------------> Powell
Green ---------------> Hardy / Curry (Adds offense, subtracts defense & size)
Another way to look at it. The Mavs basically got rid of all net negatives (except for McGee...work in progress if we can trust the reports) based on +/- and on/off numbers.
Not to mention that the "new" team is younger and actually has some legit upside. Instead of hoping that random vet x/y/z makes it trough another season without breaking down the Mavs have a young core that can take minutes from the vets.
