I don't disagree at all with the idea. I simply question our ability to trade or acquire anything that requires resources. We have limited talent, few draft picks, and Dallas is not a prime player destination. Given the absolute clumsy nature of our Free Agency habits, I have little faith that an 18-month plan has any teeth for the fan base.
I would actually feel better if the Mavs front office said they were going to be opportunistic and be ready to pounce on developing situations. Instead, I am forced to read about an 18-month plan. Admittedly, I still haven't listened to the Skin podcast, so It's possible I'm mis-characterizing all this.
I think the acquisition of Wood was fortunate. It was good move, and our center position feels much better. But unless a solid move is made here for a good wing plus Dragic, this FA will remain a top 10 Mavericks mess.
