KL - Got it. No worries. But as you say "I didnt mean it THAT way" and object to the label of strawman, I would invite you to read and consider YOUR WORDS that I quoted. Who are you disconnected from? Whose planning are you contrasting when you say that's "not MY planning". If the answer to those is "no one" then that is EXACTLY what a strawman argument is, and all I did is point it out for what it was to try to get you to stop it.
Look, we ALL know Mavs prob will be weak at PG/offense creator. But none of us knows for sure what is the best solution, since we dont know for sure how weak (or not), what other internal solutions are possible (and how effective they would be), and what external solutions are available (with what flaws and at what price). Nor can we be sure yet if they might have strengths in other areas that will bedevil opponents and more than compensate.
So opine away all you want -- whether we agree or not -- but please let me define MY views for myself.
