2 As a board, we tend to poke holes in every player and I think we need to get over that mindset as most of the players that are picked apart have no chance of being here anyway. .
1 Got it. Thx for explanation.
2 Re DS, I think probably he is a convo about nothing, because it looks to me like Mavs roster (aka Cuban's willingness to spend) has been closed already. The league requires 14. He's paid for 14. He's done, it appears to me. So there's that.
But re the board's view, I don't think the board has been looking for excuses to pick apart Schroder. Instead, with the question being raised of "Why not Schroder" then the realities of his negatives -- that we can dismiss because we don't see, but may be more significant than we can understand -- are important parts of the conversation.
I do think Schroder also isn't quite as good as we imagine him to be, but rather he's being over praised because he's not signed. That's fair to mention, right? He's just a guy. PER 13 last season, below avg NBAer.
As for the off-court stuff, we don't know what that means in his case, but we do know there is some level of jerkiness in people that can be just not worth it. Life is too short to waste it constantly dealing with ass-holery. But I'd think Kidd/Dirk already know what Schroder is from experience, as to what his combo is of some talent plus some issues, and I would not question their call or whine about "why not Schroder" if they said he's just not worth it.
