Also Mav's fans: 3 of those 7th man types, a second rounder and a first rounder six drafts from now will surely get us a third star
The alternative to this kind of thinking is, "Welp, better enjoy Luka now, because the MBT has put us in a situation in which the roster cannot be improved in the next two or three years, so he'll walk when they can't get him any more help." I choose not to wallow in that pit of despair. In all seriousness, I don't know that they can get a third star (e.g. Beal) but they should be able to use their assets to get a real starter or two. If you don't think that's realistic, remember Howard-for-Butler/Hayward/DSteve. There are always suckers out there waiting to be fleeced if the Mavs can find them.
