Luka Maxi/Omax
Let's say we roll with Luka, Maxi and Omax.
Against Gianis, would you trust Omax and Luka?
Against Banchero? JJackson?
Kawhi's a big SF, maybe Omax and Luka can handle him? No?
Zion?
Finesse players like Lauri and Kat, I think Luka/Omax might be able to put on some resistance, but the power guys would put a stress on Luka and Omax.
I guess the Mavs can slide down Holmes and DP to guard the bigger, bulkier forwards. But I don't trust those two, specially DP. He plays good positional defense, but most fans know he gets burned time and again by guys willing to take him head on.
I'm sure Maxi provides the best match.
But Maxi isn't durable enough, thus the Mavs need at least one more guy.
It's this reason why PJ Washington should be the main target. Maybe he won't be Maxi-ish in D, but he'd be an able body better than a rookie and a defensively challenged superstar.
