For years Mavs needed to improve top of the rotation, as they lacked that 3rd and 4th best player on a contender but had a bunch of (at best) five best players. As it is now, they only replaced Bullock with GW, who was 8th man in rotation for Boston. We hope he is more than that. We hope Green can take another step forward and become credible starter, who he wasn't last season. Mavs had great individual moves, but didn't address biggest issues of the roster. I am affraid how this season will look like.I do see what you’re saying, in the past though those players acquired were mostly offense guys. GWill is a legit 2 way player, and if Green takes that step up, he is too. That is what gets me excited.
When we had Bullock playing both sides of the game, even though he was an at best 5th guy on a championship team, we went to the WCF. Add in the hope of OMax being a day 1 contributor as a defense mostly guy (with the hope of better offense) and the trend is finally going the way of great team building.
That would be 3 two way players, 1 more than we had on the WCF team, with the hope of Lively and Holmes panning out to give us legit C play (please get Capela so it isn’t just counting on more hope). Lots of hopes, I know, just 1 more great move Nico, just 1 more.
Death, taxes and the west not being healthy. Last hope, we stay healthy and we’re most likely in the mix.
