What I find so over the top hilarious right about now is that if the Mavs had just admitted they needed to trade one of the bigs (would've been so easy to move Gafford productively) this summer for an impactful ball-handler, we/they might not even be in this situation.
Like...it isn't as bad as it has looked. They just can't play offense, even passably. But, that's not because the pieces suck, it's because they don't fit together in any sort of logical way.
But from here, I am confronted more and more with the reality that AD, Thompson and (I think) Kyrie all need to go.
I might even include the next age bracket down in the exodus (PJW, Gafford, Marshall, etc). I wouldn't be looking to move those guys with any urgency, really, but I'd damn sure be listening to offers.
