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

[SleepingHero]

Gobert/WCS/KP are the 1st, 20th and 29th best PLAYERS in the league in D-RPM.  Yes, someone would have to cover the perimeter...especially on switches.  But, there would be a highly rated shot blocker behind them at all times.  I’m not sure we’ve seen that tried as there hasn’t ever been anything like KP and Gobert on the same team.  That means the big on the perimeter doesn’t have to chase back to the basket.  They can play fairly aggressive drop coverage and simply worry about 3 pointers as any player who goes around them will have a top shot blocker waiting for them.

We were killing it with Powell last year before KP came back into his own.  Gobert is a substantial improvement over Powell.  I think it would work, but we are probably only talking about 12 minutes a game.  The other 32 minutes we could conceivably have one or the other star big on the floor alone

As I have stated before, I am 100% IN if Gobert is available. 

If the Mavs think they can make Kemba + Luka work side by side, then by golly working KP + Gobert side by side should be doable as well. 

Take the star, take the talent, let RC use it to shift the direction that the league is going so everyone suddenly wants their own KP/Gobert tandem.

Im really late. But I think the Mavs can arguably be better than any other proposal (besides trading for Giannis) if they trade for Gobert and sign Dragic in the summer. Luka/Dragic/DFS/KP/Gobert is an elite lineup. Maxi was one of the better perimeter defenders too so the Mavs could roll out some serious size in Luka/DFS/Maxi/KP/Gobert.
