2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[cow]

My point was that the Mavs need to have a PIPELINE of bargain-contract players, and if they bail on 26 "because we can't find players anyhow" (rather than take a confident swing at finding a,  bargain-contract player), then that's a terrible approach.

Brunson, DFS, and Maxi are yesterday's news in relation to what they need. I didn't ignore them in relation to being found, but all have moved on from being cheap bargain-contract players. Adopting the idea that 'We don't need to try anymore, we found some before, one was even a draft pick between 56 and 60!! And besides, who knows if we can find another' would be the way they worked historically, but it needs to change to one that is aggressively trying to (and able to) find and develop talent.

Preach.  This is compounded because DFS is no longer a 4 million dollar man and Jalen is going to be north of 20.  We need to draft, find diamonds in the rough in undrafted guys and then go with reclamation projects.   Frank was a good start in that regard.  Our cupboard is pretty bare on guy overperforming value contracts.
