Richaun Holmes - all he contributes is a contract for trading

If the goal of the summer though was to do everything possible to improve our roster this coming season, then I think the summer was disappointing.  Mark Cuban's budget restraints got in the way of more progress.

The goal clearly was not to do everything possible to improve our roster this coming season.  If that were the case we would not have made two draft picks in the first round.  We would have traded that pick for a short term aging vet if the sole focus was on current year.

I don't think budgets has anything to do with what we have done.  When we traded for Williams, that hard capped us at the first apron, which is around 172.  The tax line is like 165, so there is not much room to pay tax anyways.  As somebody mentioned, we tried to sign Thybulle to a contract that would have put us right at that limited and in the tax.  At this point there is nothing out there to spend that much money on.
