Caruso was a good pickup. Ball is a good defender but I think that's a little bit of an overpay for him. No way I would have paid DeRozan that kind of money. Lavine is someone I've never understood the fascination with him. Empty stats is all that I see there. Athletic freak for sure. I think that's why people love him.
That's a lot of money for what I think will barely be a playoff team in the East.
Like I said earlier, this was not a good year for FAs led by a 36 year old Kyle Lowery. I'm actually very glad that he went to the Heat. He will be good there. But, I wasn't feeling it as much with him possibly coming to Dallas for $90 million.
If the Mavs had shelled out $85 million for Ball I would be pretty unhappy. Same with DeRozan. I would have liked the Caruso pick up though. I just think Ball and DeRozan are like Lavine, Empty stats guys. They don't attribute to a team making and winning in the playoffs.
I thought the Mavs did good in a very underwhelming FA class. Chicago just spent a lot of money putting together a team of players that have barely or never made the playoffs. I think we'll see the same result putting them all together. 7-8 seed is their ceiling.
