We will throw some extra wrinkles with Klay on the team sure, but as long as Luka Doncic leads this team, it's primary diet will always be iso heavy half court offense, simple as that. I think people thinking because we added some ball movement types, there will be some drastic change to the teams style, but IMO the only way it really happens in any significant way is if Luka is no longer on the team.
Oh, I don't either, and this specific addition is the final indicator of just how entrenched they are in a heliocentric, lack of ball movement offense. It's part of my disappointment, and why I reacted the way I did to a 1-year minimum signing near the end of the summer.
EDIT: From what I can glean reading your takes on this page, we actually see this summer the same way (and differently from how many here see it) but might have differing levels of enthusiasm for how it turned out. I don't believe the Mavs will ever win a championship until the ball starts moving, personally. I would love to be wrong, because I agree that it's unlikely they'll approach things differently in the near future.
