Surprised by this extension. Thought it was much more likely he was traded then extended. I just thought with the moves this summer and the type of players they have targeted that Marshall would have been the odd man out.
Not extremely surprised he is a Masai type player though. I just thought I saw some writing on the wall.
The Mavs are waiting for the perfect move before they moves they like. When it works, you have a team ready to go when you find the right move. when it doesn't you have a team that is misshaped.
It certainly feels like unless a lot of moves are made, that Cooper is going to play a lot of time in the backcourt.
