If they don´t make the ECF this year they have to change something. Meaning that they have to trade Embiid or Simmons. A few weeks ago I would have said that they keep Embiid. Now I am not sure anymore.
This is a good example of why the mavs might win playing the long game here. I’ve been saying it since last summer. The mavs are accumulating assets after having none left with the KP trade while finding quality players on value deals. It’s turned into a really solid team already while maintaining flexibility. Yeah I wish they would have signed this guy or that. But they clearly have a vision for the type of guy they want too. That’s why you didn’t see us after a guy like Morris.
But back to the original point. If the mavs continue on this path, chances are they are going to find a way to capitalize on one of this situations blowing up like Philly. Maybe it’s Beal. Maybe it’s McCollum. Maybe it’s Giannis in 2021. It could be a number of unthought of guys hitting the market. Who had westbrook and George trades even thought of at this point last year?
