Mavs defense was (very) bad both playoff series in the last two seasons. Would adding another bad defender really be such a problem
Maxi was struggling with an achillis issue this last playoff so I'm not sure I would hold that against him, and in both series he was over exposed getting put on Kawhi as the primary defender.
I know you are joking, but I really hate the "our defense is so bad there is no point in worrying about it" argument. With Luka, we need as many guys we can get who can play good defense and don't kill you on offense.
