The offseason was a gigantic disappointment. Last season of caproom and they pretty much sat on their hands. No starter quality players brought in, didn’t invest into the asset base. They have done pretty much the same horrible job like in the infamous summers of Kemba/JRich.
Kidd is most likely a downgrade in the Xs and Os department, too, given his track record.
They will still make the playoffs thanks to Luka but this roster is just underwhelming outside of him and unfortunately team building won’t get any easier with both Brunson and DFS coming off their cheap contracts and with no caproom. The draft asset base will slowly get better simply by waiting but as always they’ve also done a poor, passive job on that front. Once difference makers become available for trades we’ll once again hear how the Mavs don’t have the assets to get something done.
Nico deserves time to get his work in but he pretty much pulled off the same kind of underwhelming crap offseason that we’ve been used to for a decade. Sleep through the draft, strike out on your FA targets, don’t acquire assets, scramble to sign some roster fillers who don’t really matter much in the big picture.
I’m so bored by this stuff, it’s really difficult to stay invested. At this point I fully expect Luka to leave in a few years and I’d actually be happy for him given that he deserves a good, professional environment. The Mavs haven’t been that in a long time.
