FA: Naji Marshall To DAL | 3yrs/27mil

[Dundalis]

It depends on whether you are looking at his career average or the small sample of his last season. He prolly will improve on his career average, but it’s a much bigger question if he can improve or maintain his recent year due to regression.

I have a hard time saying Marshall had a better season playing 18 minutes off the bench on mediocre team vs starting on a finals team.  Especially since he really struggled prior seasons in bigger role. I think he is a good fit playing role did last season, but I would not have been excited if we were planning on starting him.

Did you see the minutes DJJ was playing before coming to Dallas? And on a much worse team than the one Marshall was on at that. Curious if you thought there was zero chance of DJJ being a starter when we signed him too.

I have a feeling people will be surprised how little DJJ will bring to the Clippers, and I'm not remotely someone who wishes DJJ anything but the best. This Mavs team has super elevators on offense (Luka) and defense (Lively/Gafford), probably to an extent people don't quite understand yet IMO.
