2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[dirkfansince1998]

First of all that lineup averages 91.6pts and 37.5rbs.  That is insane.

All Luka, Hardaway, and Finney-Smith are plus on plus/minus.  Randle is plus 1.5 PER at PF.  Wood is the only one with a minus in both categories.  With Kidd's scheming I think the defense would be adequate.

Most Mavs fans remember a similiar approach. Early 2000s Mavs adding volume scoring to a core that already had Finley, Nash and Dirk. At some point they had three high volume scoring PFs on the roster (Dirk, Jamison, Walker). Turning one of them into a 6th man and leading to all kinds of strange lineups. Three bigs and two guards. Dirk playing center. Dirk playing small forward.
Team never fulfilled the promises because in the end there only is one ball and a limited number of possessions. Point averages look nice but they wouldn´t reach those numbers. Not enough FGA to go around for all of them. Offense was already at an all time level prior to the trade and didn´t get much better. Defense tanked badly.
