See, so many after the Finals think the Mavs are far away on offense - need at least one more player who can score on a very high level - and, as you have said, not damage the defense in the process.
Yes, I agree that playmaking from the forward position would be a big plus, but to me the ideal guy off the bench is someone with Jamal Crawford's vintage scoring ability and Marcus Smart's vintage defensive ability (in other words, the Celtics' White, who is strangely unavailable). Not sure how the Mavs acquire such a player. But remember how you and I had that back and forth about the Mavs becoming a true contender and I said, "What more do they need to do to qualify?" The Finals answered my own question - "Quite a bit." The Mavs may have to rely on OMax for whatever while using their external improvement possibilities on other areas.
