Schroder vs Bledsoe is interesting. Schroder being more well rounded but with red flags. I'd be fine with either but I think I prefer Schroder as it gives the team more upside.

(I'd have to agree that'd be a little disappointing, tbh)

But there is a reason why he is available at this point in the offseason. Dragic would have been a more "natural" fit on and off the court. Schroder comes with big question marks when it comes to his ego and attitude.

-Schroder + Dorsey approximates what Jalen gave you last year and let's you reduce the wear and tear on Dinwiddie.
-Wood adds a different dimension to the team offensively.
-McGee and Wood add much needed rebounding helping take some load off of Luka.
The first bullet point hasn't happened and would require everything to land perfectly. How I view the best case scenario for this team is similarly talented but with a way different look but I could also see us being slightly worse.

I mean, one fan’s opinion is just as valid as the next, but Dragic got snatched up quickly after weighing OPTIONS. Maybe the lack of options for Schroeder have to do with him holding out for more than the minimum, but based off of what we know so far it seems like the NBA thinks Dragic is the more desirable player.No, one cannot follow that, as we do not know the facts around DS17s situation.

If the Mavs sign Schroeder for the minimum when they apparently could’ve had Dragic I’ll be pretty disappointed.

Brunson just totally blew expectations out of the waterI’ve tried to make this point many times. Glad others think it as well. I do agree that something clicked when we brought SD in last year, but to think that is the only way to play basketball is not paying attention to what other teams are doing. I also think we are extremely vulnerable (not any more than last year, cause seriously? Burke is some kind of insurance?) to an injury bug in the middle of the season. The minimum we could use is an end of NBA life vet at the end of the bench. Been eyeing what Det does with Walker for this reason.
Sure I'd like Conley. That's probably the best bet we have at recreating some of that guard magic from last year without giving up a ton.
I'm most curious how we'll end up using the bigs and how Wood & Maxi are going to end up meshing. I think it's going to be huge for them to play well together and for us to play plenty of big lineups with one PG
