I'm going to echo a lot of what dirkisfan said...
1. The Mavs are better than I thought they would be this year. So I will admit I was wrong on that one. Although I think it's 80% Luka's unexpected ascension this quickly into superstardom.
2. I still think it's erroneous to make a conclusion based on #1 that they obviously did a great job in free agency since they're good/better.
3. Imagine if they actually used $28 million in cap space to bring in better players than Delon Wright, Seth Curry, and Boban. Imagine if they didn't leave a big chunk of that cap space unused.
4. Based on how good we've been and what we've seen from that free agent trio, do you really not think we could've been even better if we had acquired better talent in free agency? Seems like a reasonable take to me.
5. I can't figure out if the Mavs
a) were the only team honoring the moratorium and got caught with their pants down when free agency started.
b) were pursuing some kind of DLord strategy thinking there would many bargains left after the first round of signings.
c) are being honest that they were only interested in Kemba and then their second choice out of all free agents was Delon Wright.
I know it seems weird to "complain" after getting Luka and KP in the last two years but I think it's ok to be head over heels over those acquisitions and still question some of the other lack of moves when you watch the Grizzlies and Heat operate.
Having $28 mil in cap space. Having half the league be free agents. And the best player you get is Delon Wright. I dont know how anyone can spin that into a successful summer no matter what the Mavs record is. If Delon was putting up stud like numbers...mayyyybe.
