Seeing the pictures of the three new Mavs together really drills home how much of a masterclass the Hardaway trade was. Dallas had limited options entering the offseason and then on draft night Denver traded three second round picks to get off 5 million from Reggie Jackson. Dallas was able to move Hardaway with 3 seconds to get a player they supposedly like. That opened up almost the full MLE and also allowed them to go to Klay Thompson and say we had an available route now to get him. Not a possible option if they could make a move or two, a route right away. They were able to do this while potentially keeping one spot open and also keeping all available first round picks.
Time will tell if it works out how they envision it, but just an amazing move from looked like a real tight situation.
