A Few Thoughts on Mavs 109, Spurs 119

[StepBackJay]

Our top 8 guys that are unlikely to go anywhere:
Luka, KP, DFS, THJ, Maxi, Curry, Brunson, Powell

I don't mind keeping these guys, but who we get needs to supplant them, not play behind them. I think it will probably take at least a couple of those guys to get who we need, which means we need to find replacements for who we use as well.

So I get what you are saying but I still think it's unlikely any of these 8 guys get moved. That being said there is plenty of room for improvement on the roster. It's possible Mavs could add 1-2 impact players that break into the top 8 rotation. For example I don't think we have settled on the 5th starter just yet. We know Powell won't be it. I could see some kind of move that brings in that athletic, defensive wing we've been hoping for (we will see).
