Lively really changed the math for the mavs. He is much better now then they had hoped and he has a chance to be really good way before they thought. Maybe not next year, but there is a real chance he can be your third best player on a contender at age 22. It it is not certain but it is in play. Plus he is the exact type of guy this team needs who isn’t a heavy ball touch guy.
His personality and playing hard all the time is just an added bonus.
