Part of the thinking is we've always had one (Chandler, pursuit of Howard). They had talked earlier in the show about Drummond and Detroit needing to make a decision, so he came up again. Lowe observed that they may not want to trade Hardaway (part of the presumed cost to make the salaries match).
So basically they don't know anything :-) Mavs biggest need is a 3-D wing and secondary facilitator on offense. This means a type of player that is very expensive. We are just fine under the basket. We are a solid rebounding team and we are not exactly being killed by opposing bigs. If anything with regards to the bigs, we could use a guy who would be able to post up a bit, but still being able to guard on perimeter. I guess it would be cheaper if Luka showed some tricks to Powell and KP during summer :-)
THJ is excellent as long as he limits himself to catch and shoot. He is inefficient at creating - so he can't be the 6th man scoring punch from the bench nor secondary facilitator. But he is excellent catch and shoot guy who needs very very little time and space to catch and shoot. I think Curry needs much more time and space, which is why he mostly doesn't shoot a lot.
