Nah. IGT is correct. There are differences of opinion regarding priorities. Moreover, there's a difference between 1) wanting to contend, whether this year or in a year or two, and 2) wanting to dominate for years to come. Regardless, I don't regard it as a matter of serious basketball debate that at a naked minimum, at least two of our three non-All-Star starters need to be improved upon/replaced - THJ by being traded away, with a better guard acquired in some way, Powell by the acquisition of a real center (e.g. Adams) or similar but superior big (Favors) and his being traded or relegated to the bench, and DFS being relegated to the bench by the acquisition of a superior 3-and-D player.
I am open to the idea of the Mavs someday miraculously winning a championship in the Luka/KP era with DFS starting and playing starter minutes (25+, no DSteve-ing). THJ or Powell? No way.

Of course...? Why not....? Am I missing something here?
