That would go a long way toward quelling my disappointment that the Mavs won't go get PJ... although I am still concerned about the Mavs having enough reliable scoring if THJ is outgoing, and PJ would address that in ways Vandy does not. In any event, even with a Vandy trade, we'd still be short a starting center (the current platoon isn't good enough given Lively's learning curve) and a third playmaker (Seth is great as a third playmaker for most teams, but not as a second when Kyrie takes his annual vacation).
You are correct. Every great team has at least 2 superstars and 2 players who when their number is called can get you 20 on any night. I would say we have THJ for that role and Hardy, but Hardy can't be *that relied upon at this point.
...yet another reason why resigning Wood makes sense if we strike out on adding a quality big.
