Then all of the sudden you have a Doncic - THJ - DeRozan - DFS - Porzingis lineup that is much more formidable for teams to defend. DeRozan would feast in the paint without a shotblocker ... Mavs might just simply outscore teams with offensive force.
I feel the same way. If you just add talent then you are going to be better even if it doesn't fit into perfectly defined roles. To keep THJ and sign DeRozan you would need to shed some salary like Maxi for instance but that shouldn't be too hard.
I can't explain DeRozan's +/- numbers being so poor but Pop has trusted him this whole time and he's not dumb. Anyway its not like my first choice but you could do a lot worse than adding basically the Spurs best player to this team.
