When in doubt, strawman? I don't think RoCo is a "game changing talent to take the Mavs to the next level." That player is a top 30 player. RoCo is not top 30, but he is the best in the league among the otherwise highly valuable 3-and-D specialists.
What I can't figure out about your hating on RoCo is that you argue that guys like him are a dime a dozen - and bring up spares to prove it. He isn't a spare. Quit being an anal-expulsive hater by comparing him to spares. It makes you look far dumber than you are. The fact of the matter is that long, rangy wings who can play excellent D and hit the three at a high percentage (including the guys who can also create their own shots, like Lebron and Kawhi, who are therefore all-stars) are 1) the most coveted commodity in the league, and also 2) right now rarer than they've been in the last 10 years or so. They're hard to get - partly because it seems as though the Clippers have half of them on their roster. In any event, RoCo is very justifiably a valuable commodity. I think the truth is that the Mavs don't have anything in their asset chest that will land him, but if they can, they are not in a position not to. The only thing I will say against RoCo is that, on a Mavs team built around Luka and KP, he's probably that #4 guy, for the very reason that KP may not be better than a #3 guy, and we have to find a way to acquire that #2 guy. If nothing else, perhaps RoCo would be more valuable in trade for that needed star than anything we have now.
