Considering Cuban looks at roster building in the most simplistic terms possible, it wouldn't surprise me if it boiled down to we need defense and rebounding, Javale can do those things, Kidd liked him in LA, so lets sign him. And that was it. Never mind that McGee is a drop coverage big while we thrived using a switching scheme last year, he can't switch onto guards, is 35, etc. This is the front office who tried to say that picking up Wood and getting THJ back would replace what Brunson brought on offense, as if was as simple as plugging in a couple guys who can score the same 16ppg that Brunson scored last year. They don't have a plan or seem to really understand how different pieces fit together. It's just, we need defense and rebounding, ok here's a guy that can do that. We need shooting? Here's JJ Reddick's broken down ass.
