One of the things we discussed at the trade deadline is making a move then as opposed to this summer. It appears there are a lot of teams who are going to be aggressive and this may raise the prices. The Mavs may have played a role in this as well. Now every team thinks they are magically one piece away from breaking thru (hint, hint...You need that top 5 player first). It seems like now you have the good but not great teams, who may do a panic trade. The pick hoarding/cap space teams who may be strategic on a big move. You will also have the desperate teams. So it could be very well the Mavs could have seen a really crowded market for the players this summer if they decided to wait until this summer.
Arguably not just top 5, but the best. People do not seem to understand what a bum Gm´d franchise this has been for the last 13 years from quitting on a championship roster to letting Brunson go, because you failed to realize how good he is. The reason we are a contender now is that we finally surrounded Luka with an actual semi-competent NBA roster.
