Mavs signed DJJ
Awesome news! Several of us had been hoping for DJJ. I think he fits perfectly with this roster as the 4.
I see he and Grant Williams as being a nice replacement pair for Reggie Bullock and Christian Wood. I think it's a significant upgrade overall.
I think DJJ at PF and Grant Williams as a small-ball center would actually work well together. Williams provides elite spacing but is strong enough to match up with a lot of centers. Jones provides athleticism and some rim protection and is an excellent lob threat. They will complement each other.
I think this completes a great off-season for the Mavericks. We have become more athletic, better defensively and deeper all in a single off-season. We are also a significantly younger team than we were last year.
I think Nico deserves a lot of credit and I think the Dennis Lindsay addition may be a turning point in Mavericks history. I also give some credit to Mark Cuban for allowing the professionals to make calculated, intelligent maneuvers this off-season. I'm really looking forward to this season and I actually hope we don't make any further moves until the season begins. Let's see what we have with this group. If a weakness emerges, we can look at an upgrade mid-season or closer to the trade deadline.
The future is very bright.
