I’m disappointed that the mavs didn’t make a move today. I felt like there was a small move to be made if only to eat some salary with your exception. Those guys very well may be available in the buyout market tho so I’ll see what the mavs can do there to help.
Despite being disappointed I’m not that upset. Mavs have a clear vision of getting young quality pieces at the right value and methodically building this thing up. Does paying the cost of ROCO do anything to really improve the team?
The theme seems to be to be opportunistic and keep your assets while continuing to build up. Well see how it pays off.
I will say mavs have an intriguing possible package this summer with all their assets kept.
Well be able to deal our pick somewhere around 20, pick 31ish, Brunson/Wright, curry, Jackson (if he has value) not to mention a hardaway expiring. It’s a solid trade package for a good player.
Perspective: we are 11 games over 500 with Luka and KP being hurt extended amounts of time and yet to figure out how to co star together. You can make a strong argument that you get those guys playing like all stars together before adding another major piece.
The thing is, courtney lee is not an asset to this team based on where we are in the teambuilding phase, unless his expiring was used for a trade to match salary, in addition with our TE. Holding on to him and not using the rest of the TE is a loss for us based on the opportunity cost. Simply put it was bad asset management.
