@"Scott41theMavs" I see method in what they’re doing. Solid, focused method. Part of what makes some scratch their heads is a lack of understanding of that method.
It’s not a “third best player” they’re looking for when they say “3rd guy” or “3rd Star.” There is a specific type of player they want who can play a specific role, and it is not the role that most of the posters here seem to think should be at the forefront of their plans.
They identified Kemba Walker as that player last summer. If you want to criticize them for not closing that deal, that’s valid, but I don’t. The names we’re starting to hear now are similar. If your criticism is based on disagreement with their assessment of what they need, then you are going to be extremely disappointed again this time around, I think.
