What in the hell is the path forward for this roster??
Could have had JB on a value contract and didn’t do it so you could maybe trade him…didn’t trade him…now have to massively overpay him. Typical Cuban garbage asset management.
Stuck in multi year deals with Boban, Burke and Brown….three guys who don’t play.
An almost impossibly bad 2020 draft night.
For this roster to look like other contending rosters it would need to look something like this:
Starters: Luka, DFS, Bullock
2nd Unit: Brunson, Dinwiddie, Maxi, THJ
Depth: Powell, Green, Bertans
Maybe Powell and Green work as true second unit guys. But at a minimum you need a scorer/creator in the starting lineup with Luka along with a Big.
The biggest issue…look at the money tied up (and about to be tied up) in the guys that fall outside of the starters. You have no real assets to fill those other two starting spots and you can’t have that much money sitting on your bench.
Someone in the game thread mentioned worrying about this roster heading toward where the Jazz are now….that’s a scary and realistic thought.
Call this a knee jerk reaction to getting your pants pulled down by the best team in the league…but of the 8 teams left…the Mavs are a distant 8th in roster quality.
