I think that the main problem for the Mavs is that they don't have a plan what to do. People who are responsible and are earning millions of dollars, just don't have emotions for the club/franchise, respect to the fans (like in europe) and the club is only ''their private toy'' to play with.
In my opinion we will sooner or later be in the another rebuild mode. It will just depend if we will be in the situation like Boston (happy with 1 playoff round) or we will go into full rebuild mode like Portland.
If we look at the roster in the last 3-4 seasons we can see that roster is been worse by each season. It's everything on the players and theirs indvidual improvment that results were better every season.
The only thing which can save this is situation is to be very lucky in the draft. FA dreams went and FO can't put a good trade.
The biggest problem with this trade is that the ''people who played with theirs toys'' they left a mess.
They are adding secondary ballhandling with Dinwiddie? Let's be real, we've been searching for secondary ballhandling mainly in positions 2-3 and loooking for a players like Kawhi, Paul George, Middleton...
Did FO think about how the players will accept their roles in the system? Will Dinwiddie be happy and accept to be just a back-up point guard to Luka and Brunson, while being the 2 most paid player in the team?
I'm not here for talking about Dragič, but in comparison with Dinwiddie, he is exactly this. Veteran back-up point guard and also expiring.
They added shooting with Bertans? Who is making 16 mil. per year to be bench player? Let's be real, they've been searching for shooting on position 2-3 after Hardaway injury and maybe looking for more consistent shooter like Tim.
Did FO think what will do with Bertans after Hardaway is back? He will also get his minutes at the 3 and DFS at the 4 so roster will look like:
Powell - Chriss - Boban
DFS - Kleber - Bertans
Bullock - Green
Brunson - Hardaway
Luka - Dinwiddie - Ntilkina - Burke
So with this trade they managed to get rid of any big man scoring and rim protection to get back:
1. A player who is making 16 milion per year to be end bench player and 3 option on his position?
2. A back up point guard who is making 18 per year and you don't know how will he even accept his bench role? While also having your all star player in the same position.
1. draft well could be 1 option to save this mess.
2. Is trade, but can someone please give a list of players on positions 5-4 who could potentially replace KP?
