TAKE DAT WIT YOU 8/20

[Chicagojk]

I would give the offseason a D as of now.   There are too many unknowns and my expectations were bigger.    I need to be honest, I didn't know much about Bullock or Brown.   I wouldn't have been shocked if we signed Bullock for 3 million....I just not aware of his good play for Knicks.   Same with Sterling Brown.  To be truthful, if someone had said prior to FA the Mavs could sign Brown or Denzel Valentine for the minimum, I would probably have preferred Valentine because I am more familiar with his game.   

I can see the value of them both after learning more about them, but this team still needed an upgrade in talent.   Maybe this still happens.  If it does, the Bullock and Brown makes more sense to me.   If it doesn't, we are really counting on a big KP turnaround to either stay a top 5 team or improve a little.  I would have preferred an upgrade in starter talent with an hope of KP turnaround.   

For me Bullock plus Dragic without giving up Green/Jalen would be  a solid B- for me.  With the limited big names on the market this offseason, this would be satisfactory.  It would also keep us in solid position of potentially making another trade in the next year with solid priced assets, but not high upside assets.

Bullock plus Dragic and Lauri without giving up Green/ Brunson would be a B plus offseason and I would be very happy with this.   If you could get Lauri without giving up Maxi it may push it up to an A for me.

As of now though, D is my grade.
