One thing is clear. Mavs are all in and want to win now. All picks from 2027 on are not in their control anymore. Kyrie will be expiring next season. It will be really tough to be Mavs fan if Luka decides to change his home.
I have mixed overall feelings.
The bad:
- Correcting the offseason mistake just 6 months later.
- trading top2 protected FRP and pick swap for two role players
Mixed feelings:
- will the reality of PJ be same as the idea of him? Not really great three point shooter, but can do other things offensively. Can he defend? Holinger for example thinks he is a bad defender
- 2 athletic rim runners are great for regular season. Will they be able to stay on court in playoffs. 12 mil salary is a lot for a back-up centre
- what will the defense look like?
The good:
- new additions give Mavs a lot of line-up flexibility. They have two rim runners, they have Maxi and PJ who can play in five out rotations. DJJ can provide defense when needed
