THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[dynamicalVoid]

The problem is the players you are asking for are really hard to acquire.  They are very expensive, both in cap and trades.  There just are not a lot of players that are both well rounded on offense and plus defenders.  And teams trading away players like that are likely going into tank mode.  They have no use for 30 year old 3&D players.  They want salary relief or young players.

I'm all for adding a two way well rounded player, but its not nearly as easy as you are making it seem.  And even if we do add one it still makes sense to have as many quality 3&D players on the team as we can.

I dont want to argue too much with you or harp on the Mavs deficiencies to much...

But I watch a decent amount of basketball...I dont see teams playing guys with as many flaws as our guys have.  You might counter with...well those teams are playing guys that suck on defense then because according to you there arent enough well rounded players in the League.  I just completely disagree with you, man.   We have serious offensive flaws in our top rotation that, imo, other teams dont seem anywhere close to having offensively.  And, imo, its a big issue.   And I dont care about the excuse of "well Luka handles the ball for 22 seconds a possession anyway".   In the playoffs, when teams tighten up defensively...Luka has to be able to outlet to someone capable of dribbling,  creative enough dribbling to elude defenders trying to trap, someone that can make a non-errant pass,  players that dont fumble the pass,  players that have a finesse game in the paint and dont launch the ball over the backboard on a layup(Dwight and Maxi).  

I dont mind THJ if he would pass the freaking ball...but thats a huge flaw.  Its a possession killer when someone will launch instead of pass even when they are 2-11 in a particular game.  

There are a lot of flaws on this team offensively playing heavy minutes that I dont see other teams having.  And...Im of the opinion that you trade out a couple of these players.   GSW, Memphis and New Orleans I think wear down Luka with small ball in playoffs with Luka trying to carry the team offensively.   Maybe Wood helps and maybe THJ being on overcome that...but I think we need more offensive attackers for playoffs.  I see us fumble plays routinely that most other teams complete a bucket on 95% of the time. 

We're beating a dead horse here.
