It helps a whole lot that the traditional super teams guys all got hurt...even Trey is dinged. Spending money does sometimes work. So does 2nd and 3rd stars. We will see how we move forward.
Difference being Atlanta has mutliple young studs in Young, Collins, Hunter (who completely shut down Randle in Round one before he got hurt) and Huerter is arguably a level above Brunson, too. Then you have Reddish and Okungwu who could come good, too. Capela is better in his role than anything the Mavs have. Therefore for them adding Bogdanovic and Gallinari is completely different to the Mavs.
First you need the young core and then you add the "veterans". Its the tried formula. Same in Phoenix: Booker, Ayton, Bridges, Johnson ---> add Crowder, Saric, CP3.
