MacMahon: Mavs to explore trade market for Davis, „plotting to pivot to the future“

Size is what you need in the new NBA or else condemn yourself to never winning a championship.

I'm not sure what this is based on?  OKC just won with their third biggest rotational player being 6' 6" (and one of their bigs weighs less than Naji Marshall).  Boston won it the year before with KP spending most of the playoffs injured leaving them with a 37 year old Horford as their only big.  Neither of those teams played with size.  They played with spacing and elite creation and defense.  I would argue getting a high creating guard is way more important to this team than a center.  They didn't lose the finals because of Lively.
