Our defense numbers wise were better when Luka was here and leading the team this year, they still got a way to go. At least Kidd was able to not play Din and he finally stopped using Naji as a PG because he led the team in turnovers with 4. He is not a PG so please stop that nonsense. He did hit his one 3 and he did okay hitting 4 of 6 shots but he was still 1 for 3 from 3. AD was awesome tonight he is the new overlord on the team you make sure he gets that ball and you make that a key part of your game.
Dante and Brandon are the PG tandem you use and they are both excellent 3 point shooters that hit at a high % so no more chucking from Din. Based on who we match up with determines who is starting. Big PG you got Exum. Small waterbugs that score a lot you got Brandon. Sometime next season we got an all star PG coming back to play again and that makes PG less an area of need than want in the draft. Even with healthy Irving we still need a PG in the draft to groom for next time one gets hurt and some day needs to step aside for a new big dog to run the team. Exum too is injury prone. Brandon might be as well. I would want to draft Egor for the fact he can play PG and possibly his 6'9 frame means he can also rebound and play some SF and defend bigger guys like Luka and other scorers.
That addition would strengthen the line ups we can put out there. AD is also getting older and so is Klay so we need to groom their replacements as well and there are some nice bigs to evaluate and develop that may fall out of the 2nd round. Tom a Zvon Ivisic are both looking nice and should be available in the 2nd round so we need to work on making those 2 or at least one an offer. As for 3 point shooter a la another Klay they are usually there to sign in FA and you never can tell when a youngster comes into the league just how good they are going to be from 3 but that Richardson Kidd has the right DNA.
PG is more important a position to fill than 3 point shooter is so I still draft Egor for the future.
As for the rest of the play offs, Irvings injury got the mavs a pass on judgement day if they fail to win a ring this season. Even if Luka was here that would have given us a harder time winning it.
AD is a pleasure to watch he is a true star and kicks a lot of asses so he is something I can understand being desired by mavs execs but it is still like Mark said they did not get enough for Luka.
