Yes, your team should try to address weaknesses in the draft, via trade, and in free agency, but we aren't at the point were one player is going to put us over the top. If you can smartly add talent, I'd worry less about redundancy or positions of need and more about building up available assets.
That's fair, if you are picking from the bottom of the barrel. We are talking about trading assets, not acquiring a player with the TP-MLE after everyone has been picked over. The Mavs need to use their assets to address the frontcourt. Adding to the backcourt is just redundancy at this point with a failed ending. So what's the point of that? If they can't acquire anyone, then we know that the season will simply be a failure and we try again next year. But they better treat it like that and play the heck out of the rookies to develop them! I would also want to take swings on some players with potential growth. I guess I am just not on board with a course of action that doesn't address the GLARING needs of this team. Adding another guard just makes it more crowded, and reduces value. They have to get bigs that can play NOW.
