I get that it's working to an extent right now because of the insane gravity of Luka and Kyrie giving guys absolute wide open looks, but long term it's simply not ideal to have your primary initiators surrounded predominantly by guys who cannot even shoot league avg from 3.
1. 6th man-Simons (White/Sexton), for THJ, Powell, Hardy, '25 first. I may reconsider this based off of Hardy's readiness and production in the finals.
2. SF/PF-Vanderbilt for Maxi, 2 second round picks. Mavs get younger and more offensively versatile player if he learns to shoot.
Kyrie/Simons
Luka/Green
DJJ/Omax
PJW/Vanderbilt
Gafford/Lively
That squad has multi year championship window.
We need another actual 3 and D guy (who actually does both the 3 and the D) as our next primary target IMO, ideally someone good enough to relegate PJ or DJJ to the bench to increase our depth if at all possible. Some of these other young teams in the west that already have insane talent and depth and also have tradeable assets coming out the wazoo scare me a bit moving forward. Having a player like Luka can elevate guys in ways 99% of other teams can't, but I'd rather look to resolve that issue sooner than later. We have a chance in the Finals because we have Luka, but looking at how much better Boston's role players are than ours is kind of eye opening. I could see some of these other teams in the west developing similar insane depth of talent quite soon.
