I myself think that brings back a better group of basketball players than we had this year.
Thanks for the opinion. I would actually hope you can get at least one of those guys with rMLE. I can't imagine Tucker or Batum would command full MLE. But I agree, both are great role players, especially for playoffs.
Jackson is an interesting case. After being an inefficient chucker for most of his career which tanked his salary to vet min, he had two decent seasons in a limited role with Clippers and an awesome playoff run so far. I wonder how much of that is being part of the system, as Clippers have four good to excellent defenders around him to hide his weaknesses. Would that still work with Mavs?
My personal offseason wish (assuming we keep KP) is one of top FA (Lowry, Conley, Collins, Ball, Graham, CP3) and resign THJ. I think losing his shooting ability would hurt us a lot.
