Wonder whether that makes it more or less likely that they trade Bamba/Harris. Harris hasn´t played, Bamba has been a strong part of their bench combo with Anthony. I wonder if they could be a destination for Lavine, Beal or DeRozan. Offer Suggs + Isaac + few picks. In reality you probably want to tank one more time for a proper star guard and then your team is totally complete. Good for Mosley.
Also shows how one piece added or removed (Suggs in Orlando, Grimes in New York) can change a lot in the short-term. Question is whether the Mavs have the overall talent to make such a move count as much. Removing Bertans/McGee hasn´t helped that much, but Kemba showed much help a proper guard could be. And a proper center could probably, too. But this ream refused to sign either in the summer. LOL.
F*ck NYK. If we kept Brunson and signed Hartenstein, that would have been a dream offseason.
And they would be better of by not wasting everything to get Jalen.
