Maybe Lee is willing Luka to victory over there from the bench but I would have rather taken my chances with a player that could help. We saw how critical Burke was to this thing. What if we found, I don't know a big or wing that did 15% of what Burke has done in this series? Anyway I digress.
We need wings. Maxi cannot buy a bucket but it's really him and MKG that are forced into a "big wing" type of role. Jackson is dead weight. Mavs need to load up on wings.
Lee was mentioned by THJ in the postgame interview. THJ praised JJB, Lee and MKG because they help and encourage him when he is struggling.
Team chemistry is important but I agree that we also need to think about roster updates. I would love to keep JJB around but not as a player. He basically is part of the coaching staff anyway. Mostly talking/working with Trey Burke. Hope that he officially becomes a player development coach next year.
Lee was still useful in limited minutes prior to his injury. If he is as important for the locker room as some people think I wouldn´t mind if he gets the 14th or 15th roster spot.
Just look at the available veteran wings. We probably won´t find a better option anyway.
MKG is earning more and more minutes in the bubble. Would definitely try to resign him. Minimum deal and shooting drills during the offseason.
Agree that Jackson is dead weight. If there is a way to replace him I am all in on it but he is a negative asset and I am not sure what the Mavs would need to add to get rid of him.
