What would you have done as GM that would have gotten you an A+ this off-season?

Yeah, resolving this, one way or the other, is honestly the only thing anyone should be worried about. 

I think the Bullock/Brown signings, as well as valuing what THJ does for the team (while convincing him to come back without getting the biggest bag he can) go a long way towards demonstrating that the new front office has a method to their plan. That's not to say the plan was entirely successful, but at least they had a player profile they went after for the smaller deals and got that accomplished. 

The bigger deals are just flat out gong to be long shots until the Porzingis disaster is resolved.

Yep, there is ONE elephant in the room. The Mavs addressed some major issues with a coaching change and with the upgrade on JR, but KP is the 1000 lb gorilla that didn't allow for much else to be done. 

Maybe the coaching and scheme, maybe some mental health, maybe some physical health will make a big difference...we will see. But if they don't then a KP trade is the only way forward.
