Well, here is just about the best version of that player available this summer. I’m not trying to say it’s the best signing ever, don’t get me wrong. But, I have to admit I’m a little excited about it.
I like the general direction and philosophy. More 3&D. Wing sized players. And against the Clippers all the Mavs needed was another wing defender that can shoot threes or a guy that can solve the trap. Don´t think that´s enough against the Bucks or Nets. No matter what the Mavs do this summer I don´t see a way to turn them into a top 5 team in the league. Dragic won´t change that. Even Lowry wouldn´t have changed that.
That´s why I supported a more longterm approach (just like in the last few seasons). Going after players that can play next to Luka for the next 3-5 years.
