I like how our roster meshes pretty well together right now.
I think there are a few obvious holes/areas we could improve. Ideally they fix those holes and keep the nice mesh together.
DFS Upgrade. He's been playing his role but he just doesn't cut it. He's not elite enough has a defender and does nothing of note on offense other than hustle. That's your starting forward spot to negate the big forward scorers.
Someone to cut to/attack the basket. Mavs still have too big of a reliance on shooting for my liking.
The way I see it is that the trade pieces you have are Lee (salary matching only), Brunson, Warriors pick (lol who knew?).
Jackson has some value too but it's a narrow window to keep from disrupting the bench by trading pieces for improvement and then actually making the team worse. Are there other tradable pieces? I think so. And they could be dealt in the right deals but I think they will be incredibly deal specific.
ROCO remains at the top of the wish list. He fixes the DFS upgrade on both ends of the floor and provides that third consistent scoring option, although perhaps at a lower level then you would like. That works on this team tho with the 10 guys we have averaging 8 mpg or more. (rounded up)
The other name I'm very interested in to see what happens with is Blake Griffin. He continues to be a terrible fit with Drummond, the pistons are bad again and appear worse than the last few years. Contract isn't great either. If you like the dynamic Powell brings, he theoretically could be a nice upgrade over him. I still think his price will be fairly modest when they finally decide to trade him. Whether that remains plausible for the Mavs to get in on... We shall see if it happens. ROCO is more realistic and more helpful IMO.
And with that....
