Mudiay vs Wright

[Playmaker]

Note that Mudiay's percentages, prior to this season, was only decent in 2018-19, a contract year at that.  He was terrible for 5 years prior.  No sane GM would spend significant time weighing between him and someone like Wright.  At that point as a 1-year minimum guy, he wasn't a match for what the Mavs seemingly shopped for (long-term signees on reasonable contracts like Wright, Curry, Maxi, DFS).  At that point they were shopping for potential long-term backcourt partners for Luka, and don't tell me a probable 30% shooter is someone you'd be signing if you were the GM.  This considering how our board has been overly picky on who fits with Luka.

Hindsight is 20/20.  But anyway, if Wright balled as expected (which can still happen through the rest of the season), I have a feeling you'd be complaining about a different Mavs player.

This is a joke, right?  Again, don't act like Wright was ever shooting great percentages himself.  A GM and front offices job is to weigh all free agents against one another.  So if they gave Mudiay no thought vs Wright there is something really wrong with the MBT.

Wright was also in a contract year and did nothing special.  I guess the Mavs became enamored by him torching Mejri during the tankathon at the end of last season posting a couple of triple doubles. 

Yes Im sure it made sense to MBT to sign a long term older player that is average to below average in every way vs someone much younger on a minimum contract.
