DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

CALLING OUT @"Kammrath" PART 2.

You and your computer have had ample time to consider Montrez Harrell's fit in Dallas, but if you've weighed in with your take, I missed it. 

WHAT IS YOUR TAKE MY DUDE?

---

For #31 I just like the value there a lot. The weakness of Donnie is being able to project improvement from raw prospects (altho Cubes claims Donnie wanted Giannis when he was drafted). Donnie does a lot better evaluating a) active NBA players and b) more experienced collegiate players. I could see us drafting another 2-3 year collegiate starter with relatively low upside in terms of star power, but someone who has the potential to immediately contribute. If that player busts you can get rid of them pretty easily.

While I do like the Mavs filling their bench with a lot of vets, its hard to have all 16 be vets so there is definitely a spot in my mind for a rookie who gives you 3D potential.

While I don't think I agree that Donnie and the Mavs are any less successful identifying good players when they make picks than most other GM's, I will agree that they have too often opted to avoid making picks at all. The impact that constantly drafting players has on your team, financially, is a good and often glossed over angle. Rookie deals are good things to have.
