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

One other thing to ask about this.

How easy is it to find this in one player in the NBA?

Don´t really think that this is some kind of stand out reason to sign him. Being on a similar level on offense and defense doesn´t mean that he is great on either end. More like above average on both offense and defense.
Just to ilustrate my point. Not as an actual player ranking. Let´s say Porter is a 6/10 on offense and defense (with 5/10 being average). RoCo is a 5/10 on offense and a 9/10 on defense. One clearly has the bigger impact even though he is not as balanced.

I think the big advantage a player like Porter offers is the versatility when it comes to a longterm roster build. He fits on a more offensive minded team that values pace and floor spacing but also has the tools to have an impact on a team with a grit and grind defense first mentality.


Ugh, I give up trying to find the miniscule spot I have to put my finger on to type outside the quote box when using my phone.

How easy is it to find a 6/10 offense only player? How easy is it to find a 6/10 defense only player? Now how hard is it to find both? If it’s easy, why haven’t they done it? If they aren’t looking for it, why not?

I think it is a standout reason to get a player that has proven to do both at above average levels. It certainly doesn’t merit a “meh” response.
