Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

[Nowitzki Way]

Yeah, they have been terrible at a lot of things.    To add on to your point, the new front office made a point they want to surround Luka with length, but they have gone the other direction in their moves and have lost the length they had without replacing.   Even with their Two ways, they entered the season with a 27 year old shooting guard and a 6' point guard.   You would think they would look for length and keep rotating players out.   Did Dallas have anyone who fit this prototype on their G-league team (non two way?).   There was no curiosity looking  for players.   I liked what I see from Lawson but he is the type of player we need to get.

It is the exact thing that has been mentioned here for years. The Mavs are so far behind the curve when it comes to roster building trends. 

How long have we had Luka? Thats how long we've known that you surround him with shooters. And you surround him with long athletic defenders.  Even better if they are long, athletic, and can shoot. We developed DFS for this role, but currently in the NBA you need 2 or 3 Dorians Finney Smith's.
