Ultimately whether Lavine signs that extension (from his POV alone) will depend on whether he wants to win or not, when he can easily force his way onto a much better team right now or next summer. We also have this Porzingis fella as a trade chip, that we can use to re-direct players like Hield, Ball, Rozier, Wiggins to Chicago as a reasonable player replacement.
What I don´t get is the Mavs fanbase desire to be utterly mediocre, cause that´s what signing/acquiring players like Young/Satoransky means. At least try to sign Markkanen/Monk/Collins or acquire Hield/Wiggins/Wiseman. Players that are good, still young, can improve and have re-trade value in a star package. I can take a Wiseman/Wiggins/Monk package and trade them for Bradley Beal. WTF do I do with Young/Satoransky, two mediocre bench veterans that are one contract removed from minimum offers?
It´s like people haven´t lived through Dirk´s whole career. If you are lucky that one superstar with depth approach wins you ONE championship.
We need at least one All-Star talent, regardless of Porzingis, cause he´s clearly not good enough as a 2nd option. If you ignore the 20 minute cameo this latest injury is now almost three weeks, too.
