Another interesting piece from The Athletic this morning. It asks the question whether hoarding space til 2021. It divides things into categories and Dallas is mentioned a lot.
1. Yes, if you have a credible shot at an elite FA.
They define elite as GA, Davis and Lebron. Dallas is listed in a tier behind Miami and Toronto in this regard
2. Yes, if one of the second tier FA's really moves the needle for you
Second tier is defined as Jrue, Gobert and Dipo. Dallas is mentioned as a team that would benefit from Jrue or Dipo joining the team
3. Yes, if it is a cover for saving money
Thankfully Dallas isn't mentioned in this category.
4. Otherwise, NO
While DJJ, Robinson III, Wood, Dragic and Melton (among others) won't shine as bright as some of the 2021 names, front offices that act pragmatically can set themselves up well by taking advantage of such an unusual offseason.
