MAVS NEWS:

[KillerLeft]

I wish this was true, but it isn't.  He is all-time great when he is great, but that's not every game and we've already witnessed duds with AD wearing a Mavericks uniform.  Tack on how often he is injured and it just makes it really hard to rely on him.  

Agree with the injury concern (obviously). I think with Davis and his greatness, one really does need to think defense first. He is consistently great on that end. What he's NOT is a "go to guy" on offense, to your point. That's why you can't build a winning team around him as the focal point. But, Cooper Flagg changes my outlook on that. More so if they can get the kind of table setter I have in mind. That would make "offense by committee" an actual viable path, to my thinking. Davis, Flagg, PJW, Naji Marshall, Thompson, Christie...any/all of those dudes can be offensive threats on any given night, provided the style of play isn't set up to be heliocentric. And, with Luka gone, it isn't. The trouble is that they haven't (yet) replaced him with anything resembling an offensive system.
