Setting aside (for a second) the debate on what the Mavs should do moving forward, I’m astonished that people aren’t seeing a difference between the last 2-3 “plan powder” free agencies and what some people are hoping to see in 2021.
Night and day difference. Maybe not Giannis, but someone will want to come here and play with Luka, while nobody wanted to play with 87 year old Dirk. This team looks like a juggernaut just getting started, while those plan powder Mavs looked like a pack of old players employed by a delusional front office.
I repeat: there’s a 0% chance they go into summer of 2021 with room and strikeout. Now, that might not mean that it’s the best thing to do, because maybe you can build a better team in different ways, but the downside of that path is not the same as it was with Howard, Deron Williams, etc.
