It seems that the talent that Donnie often identifies is legit but doesn't fit with the kind of talent that RC likes. I truly think this disconnect has been a pretty significant issue for the Mavs of the last decade.
Just really difficult to differentiate between the responsibilities. We tend to just mention the MBT and coaches, scouts and the GM should obviously all be involved in roster decisions. Not to mention that in the Mavs case the owner is making calls as well. Would be really nice to get some information on the inner procedures of the Mavs front office.
I think you identified one of the biggest problems of the Donnie/Mark/RC era. Guards without 3-point range or with limited ballhandling abilty and slow-footed bigmen without shooting range or rim running ability. Highlighted by the Rondo trade that turned the at that point best offense in league history in a mediocre one.
This season had more of the same. Johnson had no role in RCs offense. Iwundu was unplayable on offense. Even KP struggles to find a role in the Mavs flow offense. He wants set plays and post ups. That´s never going to happen.
I just don´t get why it is so difficult to find the fitting pieces. We all know what RC needs to work his magic. Multiple ballhandlers, good spacing and pick&roll players on offense. Versatile defenders that can switch and rotate on defense.
