Maybe Lively turns in to Gobert and can make up for 3 questionable defenders. I just think the Mavs found something that really worked up until the finals and throwing it away feels like unnecessary panic move.
I don’t disagree with any of this, man. I don’t know what to tell you, other than all of their actions seem to indicate that they are much more worried about improving the offense than you are. I even think Grimes’ appeal to them is mostly as a spacer.
I think they want everyone to be a two-way player, and that is a good thing to want, but I agree with you that they are maybe not paying as much attention to the details of how the defenders fit together as they should be.
