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

[Chicagojk]

Depressing to watch the young Wolves without their All-NBA defender and they still have 4-5 guys that would be the #1 defender on the Mavs. I really don´t see how we compete with these teams in the future. They are younger, better, have better assets and better management.
It´s delusional to think a Clint Capela-type can close this gap.

Not that I am disagreeing, but Dallas has one of the few guys that really matter.  Maybe Edwards get there too but he is probably not ever the level franchise player Luka is.  There is no reason a competent front office can’t find complimentary players around Luka And maybe Kyrie.  

If you find guys who complement them, there are few players I am picking against ins big game.

Naz Reid undrafted, Kyle Anderson MLE, McDaniels late first,  Vanderbilt traded who was a former second rounder, etc.  these are not huge moves but smart moves.   They really don’t matter if you don’t have a star.  Dallas has a star….at least for now.
