Boston shot 62 threes tonight. That’s more like it. Brooklyn is a horrible team but they shot 50 plus threes and kept it close enough to steal. The Mavs need to rebuild their team to play modern basketball. There’s not a path to contention with a roster built around a bunch of non shooting bigs.
There's no question the roster of the moment (which has only 11 players, one of whom is a 2-way) is very deficient and limited.
I would venture to say that the immediate addition of Kyrie, Exum, and B Williams would make it all look VERY different. But it's a rough situation right now, and they just gotta play through it for the time being.
This summer should add a good draftee, and I would wager there's a trade or 2 on the horizon as well to add more. But on top of that, they should have a much fuller set of players to work with, and that will help a lot.
That assumes they do some good GM-ing, so maybe it's too much to expect. I'm still hoping for a change in that area, to make good moves possible. Dennis Lindsey, please.
