What gives you confidence that this novice will all of a sudden take all the strings if he allowed to be instructed at the very start? I have minimum. You set the tone at the very start and it is difficult to change later. THJ was not Donnies move, that is the whole point. Even if it was others who instructed Harrison it was not Donnie who made it.

Where did I say spot shouldn't be filled? Not spending cap space is not the only form of flexibility. Shorter term contracts, young players with upside and similar are much contracts that provide much more flexibility. Mavs locked themselves into the team that is not good enough and so far it looks they will just continue on the jurney. I hope I will be pleasantly surprised.
