Kirk on MMB has brought this point up a lot which I agree with and that's that the Mavs need a ball mover in the worst way. Josh Green might be our second best passer which is really saying something.
Luka is very high usage and we have seen THJ, Brunson can score but they are ball movers. We have spacer guys that will swing the ball (sometimes) but again are not playmakers.
J Rich was supposed to be at least a little bit of a playmaker but he is just a mess all the way around.
Mavs got to get a guy that moves the ball and makes plays other than Luka. As much as I like Holmes I think resurgence of Powell makes upgrading that position lower on the list. I also think a ball-move might actually get KP the freaking ball which then solves our KP problem.
If you can get a legit starting SG that can play-make and keep THJ are your 6th man scorer I think that is a successful offseason.
This is why I keep going back to DeRozan. His Assist% to Usage ratio is great. Similar to Ja and Jimmy Butler. He's a bucket getter who also gets everyone involved and doesn't bog down the ball movement in order to fill his stat line.
