Caruso and Ball were definitely better options for team winning....especially defense.
I have never thought LaVine has had a "winning impact"...at least not a significant one and not one worthy of his contract.
I said a week ago or so on here that I want no part of Lavine. He's empty stats. No thanks. Btw, I'm calling smokescreen on the Stein story. I don't think Dallas is interested in Lavine at all. Kidd knows what a championship player looks like and Lavine ain't it. I also think it's funny that Steiny is tamping down the Gobert story. That tells me that the Mavs are interested and trying to get Utah to think they aren't.
I would look at kicking the tires on Mo Bamba for a bench piece. He should come cheap. I am really high on Ntilikina. I want to see Kidd continue to work with him. If he can get confidence shooting I like him a lot. That defense he provides is stellar. Only 23 and on the roster right now cheap.
I think it's time for Powell to move on. He's fine in the regular season but just doesn't provide enough for the playoffs. They need a starting 5 desperately. Maxi is great for 15-20 mpg off the bench. But, it's too much for him to play with that energy at starter minutes.
We didn't make the cut but thanks for all the support!
