AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

I am really worried about this big trade for a second star that Dallas appears to be heading towards.   It looks good on paper.  But is ATL in any better position after their trade for Murray moving forward?   Is Minny any better for the future after their trade for Gobert?   I think you can say Clev is better positioned now with Mitchell.   

It just seems like these trades typically win the week in press clippings but the long term sustainability is very up in the air.  They also tend to zap you of any flexibility moving forward as well.

I counter with have the Mavs (read Cuban) ever capitalized on future flexibility? Have they even ever had that for a significant stretch of time?

I feel like the Mavs have chosen option C for the last 4 years, which is no future flexibility and no 2nd star. 

I'd rather get the talent first and figure out the rest later at this point.
