We have one of the best young stars and a real posssibilty that if this continues he might force a trade in a couple of years. Go big in terms of doing it right. The Lakers showed you can win with McGee and Dwight. Target cheap strong veteran bigs. But for Luka’s running mate target a big guard who can shoulder the PG load for long stretches. That’s why I would see what it takes to get Lonzo. Valentine is also a good choice but I like Lonzo’s defense a bit better.
Either way folks like Bledsoe and Reddick IMO are not the answer.
I like Ball but he offers no shot creation and that´s what the Mavs need right now. Ball is a good floor general, good defender/rebounder and okay spot up shooter but he has no pull up game and cannot finish in the paint. That´s also the reason why he isn´t a good pick and roll ballhandler.The Mavs need someone that can carry the scoring load. Not someone that can distribute the ball to mediocre teammates.
Replace THJ, RIchardson or DFS with a better scoring option and Ball makes a lot of sense but right now he would probably be another limited offensive player that is asked to do to much.
