Have 10 rotations worthy players. Great. Add more talent. That´s what great teams do. That´s how you end up with rosters like GS. They didn´t think we have Iggy, Klay, Wiggins and Kuminga. We don´t need more wing talent. They added OPJ on top of it.
It´s a luxury. And in the Mavs case a pricy luxury for Cuban. But it makes a difference. Especially in the regular season. One of them goes down with an injury and the team isn´t missing a beat. Next man up is a player that could start on another team.
I agree - mostly.
I think in the cases of Powell (character), Green and Ntilikina (young, still working to find a foothold in the league) the team is very likely to get the benefits of those players' talent without the headaches that come with players who perceive that they aren't being given the chances/roles they deserve. They aren't the only players who would work out that way, and I'm definitely ok with the idea of improving upon them, especially with even more intriguing young players, but I do think there's a downside to messing with the roles mix. I really do.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not married to this roster yet, and that includes the top 8, even.
