I don't think it will be hard to replace what THJ does. Just because the team says they will be "aggressive" (which they say every year), it doesn't mean they are going to strictly look at Max guys. What I'm advocating is making your target(s) guys that are realistic and getting that done at 5:01 like other teams in similar markets seem to be able to do.
I totally agree with this. What I don't understand is why you think we can agree with others to sign a deal at 5:01 (obviously prepared in advance), while not do the same with Atlanta for Collins SnT. Indiana did it with Brogdon, for example. Negotiations have to be done before 5:01. If not, then I just hope Mavs run away from it, because it is nothing more than a pipedream.
