MAVS NEWS:

[Chicagojk]

Mavs havs so many options they can go depending on how things go. My three main thing are:

1) How good Flagg is and what type of role will he eventually fill. Can he be a legit second creator for a good offense?
2) Can Kyrie get back to his former level prior to injury
3) Can AD play PF and does he amplify the centers

#3 is the big one for me and the one I have the most questions about. If he can, this opens up some really interesting ideas. How long do you think Klay is around? Isn't he best at backup SF? PJ is young and good. Although if AD is here for the next 3 years or so and playing PF and Flagg is playing SF, is PJ a luxury? Caleb (hopefully), Marshall and Max are all on solid contracts as bench players but there is some overlap there too.

If the above questions are yes, how would this look moving forward in a year

PG-Kyrie, backup point
SG- Trey Murphy, Max Christie
SF- Cooper Flagg, Klay Thompson, Martin or Marhall
PF- AD, backup PF
C- Lively, Gafford

Or maybe you switch things up and move Gafford instead of PJ, but I still think it is an odd fit for PJ if AD excels at the 4.
