But I'm sure the Warriors are licking their chops at the sight of MEM in the 2nd round. I wouldn't be surprised if they swept them.

Would basically be exactly what we like from Green in terms of ball movement and shooting, minus the defense. He's also a great teammate and has connections with Josh from the Australia national team. Odds are though he just resigns in Utah this offseason as he's their Barea/Devin Harris guy.

Two guys that could give you a spark from the bench in a playoff series if needed. So first do the big stuff in the offseason, and if Burke/Brown are still on your team after you are done, cut them and sign those vets.

The Warriors know exactly what it takes to win a championship and they are playing better than anymore imho.

As to your question, I gotta say I would dislike giving up on Frankie at this juncture. He’s cheap. He seems like a good dude. Why not hang onto that investment another year? 

Joe Ingles as a backup here? I guess he’d have to sign for the taxpayer’s MLE, which is about $5 million, right? (That or a vet min contract is all we can offer free agents this summer.) If he’d take that money, and if he’s close to his former self, he immediately shores up our big rotation and our playmaking issues. Great signing! But why would he take that kind of pay cut if healthy? That’s less than half of this year’s contract.

Dallas has no one comparable to Robert Williams, and they have two of the best wings in the game, as well as DPOY Marcus Smart.  Luka may be better than Tatum overall, but Tatum has taken a quantum leap this year after a slow start.

If this team lacks anything, could be more veteran players, that you can trust to deliver and guide the younger players, and also especially coming from the bench and improving the bench unit. If we had those two, it could really mean difference between championship or not.

Luka owns GSW. They are afraid of Luka, if anyone. In fact, watching Mavs since Luka entered the league every game, I don't recall Luka losing to the GSW. He always made another level to his game, whenever Luka met GSW. But its a great point, that in playoffs, they have the upper experience by far, but they fear a player like Luka that is way more talented and multidimensional than their own star players.

I think Mavs can beat GSW. The only team in the West they wouldnt be able to beat is Suns with a healthy Booker. Whenever we played them, they were more effiecient than us.
