Two things, I have no proof of this but I strongly believe the plan for this offseason if Lowry didn't come here was to get a 3 and D wing and then sign Dragic. Dallas had to believe if they did not get Lowry, he was going to Miami and that would mean Dragic's option would not be picked up. I think they were left scrambling, once again, when it was and Toronto accepted him in a trade. Bullock may have been the first option, or he could have been the one who said yes. Danny Green, Batum, Bobby Portis (not a 3 and D) were all names they were probably sniffing around. Then Maybe you add a big man with any money left over. I just think they were caught with their pants down a little.
I said all offseason, I wanted players who played with force. Big guys who can do things near the rim and players who could get to the rim and cause defense fits. That would have been my focus. Until they add this, I don't have much hope with this team. Sure, they will eventually shoot better (I hope), but we saw how far this takes us. Not far and you have no hope when you can't shoot. Add 2 players who play with force (with Luka) and the three pointers will go down at a better percentage...I promise.
