TAKE DAT WIT YOU 8/20

[KillerLeft]

Do you have a view on the offseason?

The same one I've had since about a week after free agency started. 

I was pretty excited when the dust cleared, as it seemed like the headlines were "Mavs re-sign THJ and are about to trade for Dragic." Those were both great things, imo, and so the Bullock and SBrown acquisitions seemed like great secondary moves. I would've given THAT off-season a B.

Then, we find out Dragic is probably not happening. 

Then, they give an actual multi-year guaranteed contract, above the vet minimum, to Boban. 

These two pieces of info, especially the first, shine a different light on everything for me, personally. I'd say C- or D+ is where I'd be if the season started today. I like most of what they did, but they didn't do enough.

Honestly, the most significant change of this off-season is probably the downgrade in coach from Carlisle to Kidd. I get the argument that a new voice might help in some ways, and maybe considerably, but until we see evidence of that being the case I think we have to look at it from the perspective of "which one is the better head coach?" And, honestly, that's a huge no-brainer in a vacuum, right?
