So did Fontecchio for that matter. Neither are gettable for the foreseeable future.
The Mavs have a good roster. They’ve tremendously underachieved this year. I think it’s coaching but some can reasonably point to injuries. Looking forward the team is still one player, new coaching, and some injury luck short. My research finds only one player who fits the exact archetype needed; could potentially slot in as the league’s 50th to 70th best player; and is acquirable given availability, trade assets, and cap space: OMax.
There’s really not much else the Mavs can do right now except tinker, hold on to their key guys, improve their training program, change coaching staffs, and pray that OMax becomes an unexpectedly solid player.
