2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Kammrath]

I hope this idea that “we could have won it all in 2022 except for ______” doesn’t become part of the narrative around here.  We finished exactly where our talent allowed us to finish…possibly higher.  

You may not agree, but I truly believe the Mavs went (and will go) as far as Luka could carry them. When he played close to his potential? They won and kicked butt. When he underperformed on his end? They struggled. 

I truly think a matured Luka can get them to the Finals next year without changing much of anything at all. I also think a Luka that isn't more mature, could have them flame out in the 1st round if he doesn't perform at his best. 

I think the Mavs need to be methodical in roster building, only making moves that are thoughtful and make sense. No reason to get desperate as Luka is the source of their largest growth area IMO.
