The Question Isn't Whether the Mavs Can Add a Second Star Player. It's Whether They Should. - D Magazine

Iztok nails it as always. Today's playoff basketball is about exploiting matchups and hunting weak defenders. You need 5 guys that can shoot AND defend to be able to win. This is why I totally agree with Cuban's comments about needing more players like Doe Doe more than anything. I'm not interested at all in any bigs that can't defend the switch, they'll just get played off the floor when it really matters. Unless you have Jokic or Embiid, you're better off investing big money into wings that can shoot and defend rather than a big. All you really need is a Javale McGee/Steven Adams type that can give you 15-20 minutes of toughness and rebounding in situations you need it.
