MAVS NEWS: DET Hires Dennis Lindsey as VP of Basketball Operations

[mvossman]

So you think after 13 years of ignoring the draft, always signing washed up veterans and chasing soon to be washed-up stars that don´t want to play here, it was Cuban behind the strategic tank, the smart draft day actions, the signing of young veterans and acquiring of legit PF/Cs. That be a hell of a coincidence.

Maybe the sample size is too small to say Nico/Kidd have figured it all out, but I´ll give them a pass for all the dumb early sh*t like McGee and assume with Lindsay in board, Nico in full command and no Cuban in the food chain such idiotic decisions won´t happen again. 

We find a way to turn THJ + picks into Sexton, re-sign DJJ and maybe Powell for Jalen Smith as the stretch big, we are comfortably done with the summer. The benefits of not doing dumb sh*t all the time, is that small steps can have a big impact.

Doncic/Hardy/Exum
Irving/Sexton/Hardy
DJJ/Green/Lawson
Washington/Smith/OMax
Lively/Gafford/Kleber

That might be the deepest team in the league.

Not much chance they can get all of that done.  Sexton will be very expensive (Ainge), you have not made any space for DJJ, and why would Indy send a rotational player for our bench warmer?
