Mid-Level targets

[hakeemfaan]

This is a different team with different management. They have already proven themselves in the draft this year and have earned a bit more patience than everyone giving up the first full day of free agency.

How exactly did they prove themselves in the draft this year?  The execution was good but only time will say if they made the right selections by going for need when better talent was available.  Was OMax or holding on to the TPE trying to go after someone more ready the correct decision?  Time will tell. 

Last year they gave up a first for Wood when questions about his defense were long known.  Then they gave relatively big money to Javale while losing Brunson on their watch. 

This year they go back to Dwight and Curry and Exum. Remanants of the past be it Lindsey or the previous Mavs regimes.  Not saying these low level moves should be heavily scrutinized but everything adds up. It feels like they don’t even consider or kick the tires on newer players who might not have some tie in to the past. 

I am higher on Ayton than most here. If they can get him to form a big 3 I will take back a lot of concerns that I currently have with this mgmt.
