I just don't know how the math works with this current team. I just have a drastic different view how this roster should be put together to even have a chance. Even if you don't even consider the Luka trade. If they want to play big, you need all your guards to be able to shoot, break down defenses and get into the lane for themselves or throw oops to the bigs. For me, I would move Marshall and then Klay would be my backup three. He just doesn't do the above good enough to be my starting two..especially with the lack of creation of the roster. It is why the Grimes trade was so tough (plus giving up the pick). Grimes would be a really nice piece. The second round pick could be included for a guy like Jordan Clarkson (he provides some pop). Add a first round pick who can dribble, shoot and break down defenses and you are starting to see a route (may not be a great route though). Have bigs who can win on the inside and make it difficult to score at the rim and everyone else can break down defenses and hit open shots. PJ and Klay are your recipients of these players who can penetrate. Instead we have a team who has no creators and is not a good shooting team. I have no idea how you think this is a way to put together a roster (even if you pretended Luka was never a mav).

The last two games the Mavs made 7 and 4 threes. I have no idea how they think that is the right way to build a roster.
