Exactly. The way it turned out, trading Barnes was probably a mistake as he is definitely a better player than JJ, plus we would probably be able to bring all three guys (Curry, Wright, Boban) using a little creativity. Barnes would be a nice expiring this year that Mavs would not be able to trade. Or he wouldn't take his option and signed with Kings. No one would be really sad we didn't get JJ. We would have 4 mil of cap space more that we couldn't spend.
Out of our coveted free agent signings:
- Seth is ok. Fair value for his shooting. But unfortunately he is nothing more than bench shooter
- Wright is a minor fail. He was paid and brought to be a starter next to Luka and he couldn't deliver. Now he is basically just taking Brunsons minutes, who is a much better PG but a bit worse defender. Third string PG could be someone much cheaper
- Bobi is a fail. I just don't understand why they brought him if they don't intend to use him. 4 mil is just too much, should be vet min deal for the role they gave him
We have 10-12 players under contract for next season. Add 2 rookies, Reeves and MLE and we have full roster. I have no idea how they will share the minutes.
I am actually affraid Mavs will hire someone like MKG now. If he will be halfway decent, he will get a decent 4 year contract.
