Mavs Future Core

[j0Shi]

I wouldn't agree that the preseason added to my personal concerns. It's obvious this team lacks a quality wing, rebounding, and shooting. I still hope Mavs progressed in all three areas, but based on what we've seen sop far (which is really not a lot), there's unfortunately little evidence. Fortunately however, preseason is not reliable whatsoever. It's additionally unfortunate that DP can't gel with the potential other starters. He is a huge part of what the Mavs are trying to do offensively. They need an elite roll man.

The two spots you can upgrade the most are wing and backup center. With Curry, Wright, Brunson, and Luka we have quality guards as well as KP/Maxi duo at PF. Now Powell is our center and as much as I like Boban, you ideally want someone a little more mobile. But that's easier said than done for sure. Wing is our weak spot. We have tons of players under contract on mostly cheap deals except THJ. Dodo, Jackson, Roby. I think so far JJ has the best chances to actually grow into a starting caliber player, I also still like Dodo. But tbh. that's a long shot and acquiring a quality wing has to be the next step. 

Issue is, don'T get your hopes up for this or next year. We have little to no cap space and unless somebody is willing to take on THJ.
