If the Mavs get Avdija, I'd want to add a little more shooting to this bench you have listed; at the guard spot. One of Quentin Grimes or Isaiah Joe.

I'm not sure how to go about getting one of those two though, i.e., in addition to Avdija. Do you have any ideas?

I really don’t.  If you get Avdija for Green/Draft capital and either keep DJJ or get Thybulle by moving THJ, you’ve fired all of your bullets.  I’m not sure why anyone thinks Grimes is attainable.

There isn’t such a thing as the perfect roster.  There will always be a spot we wish we could slightly upgrade.  Here, you are basically saying the Hardy spot is the weakest link.  It may be, but this is the year we have to decide whether he’s worth keeping or not.  I actually think one of the benefits of an Avdija acquisition is you can run some offense through him and let Hardy attack and hit C&S 3’s from off the ball.  I’m not saying Hardy can’t play on the ball.  I’m saying I’d rather him not be forced to get all of his minutes on the ball.
