I haven't posted in awhile, but MavsForum is must read on a daily basis. You guys have the most knowledgeable insight and ideas on all things Mavs. Thank you for your daily contributions. Now on to business. This Mavs roster.
My reactions to this seasons so far:
Not extending or trading Brunson last year is proving to be embarrassing, and a disaster for a franchise with limited assets. Then the failure to acquire that 3rd ball handler has had a negative impact on the roster and rotations.
Getting Christian Wood was a great move, but we're using him wrong. He should be starting, and yes as the lone big.
Agree that if you start Wood, you need plus defenders surrounding him and Luka. DFS is one and the other should have been Bullock. Green has shown improvement but he still has his limitations. This is where we need to add. That guy who can guard the 1 to 4, and hit outside shots. But as we all know, those guys are hard to get.
I admit, i thought the McGee signing was a good at the time. After seeing how the Golden State series went, we needed another big in the rotation. This has been a failure and an ugly one at that.
We seem to have the same problem season after season. Ill fitting parts that no one else wants. We have 3 guys starting who should be coming off the bench (Dinwiddie, THJ, Powell). We have no picks, no prospects, and bad contracts (Bertans, THJ, McGee) that no one wants. I have a hard time finding an external option for this team to improve in the next few years. Then we have a owner who doesn't want to spend anymore, and an inexperienced GM from Nike.
Thank you guys again for spending so much time trying to figure out ways to improve our Mavs. i love the ideas, i just don't see a realistic trade that would make sense. We have the best player on the planet, a talented scorer (Wood), and a bunch of guys who would struggle to find minutes on the top teams in this league.
