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

[KillerLeft]

Mavs2019, I actually like your gonzo idea a great deal. You did leave out that THJ, Powell, Wright, and Curry would still be on roster, likely robbing minutes from some of the rookies.

Can't have the argument both ways. 

If the point is that there should always be an element of youth on the roster, learning, developing behind the vets to MAINTAIN the team's status as a good team in the future and avoid bottoming out, I can get there. In that way, you might have a legitimate beef with the Mavs' decision making process. 

But, if you take it to the point where you say that the vets aren't better than the rookies and more ready to play winning basketball, and that the rookies should be on the floor instead of them, you're basically saying "I'd rather have rookies in the rotation than make the playoffs." In that extreme view, I 100% lean towards the Mavs' history of thinking. 

So, in my opinion, if you want them to value non-obvious draft gold, you have to also be cool with the patience that comes with it.
