So far the vote is pretty split but I'm surprised "dynamic playmaker" isn't getting more love.
We know from Donnie, the Mavs love stars. And we know from the Warriors, you can't have too many.
I suspect the vote is low because folks don't see how the Mavs could attain a true star with the assets they have.
I'll borrow from an idea in another thread, first posted by @"omahen"
In his scenario, the Mavs would deal Lee's expiring for one of the few bad contracts (Dieng) left in the league and a 2019 first.
That Mavs would then enter the summer with two No 1s, GSW No 2, and about $36 million in expiring contracts.
That's three valuable picks and enough expiring salary to take on any player in the league!
Unless someone comes up with something better, this is now my preferred path. A small trade now (which coincidentally nets a serviceable banger) that sets us up for a league altering deal at the draft.
