One wonders if Luka in particular is going to have such a big run here that all of a sudden FA's that weren't looking at the Mavs will suddenly have the Mavs on their radar.
Now with THJ, I just can't imagine a scenario where Mavs don't get a deal done ASAP and pay market rate. Flirting with a "bigger name" is just too risky. I think they would dump KP for space before they get too cute with THJ.
Where the Mavs raised profile could really help them are these FA's that sign deals under-market value to sign with a contender. Mavs have not been able to attract these players.
So how good can Mavs depth be if they get put on the list with Lakers, GSW, Heat, 76ers, Nets instead of bunched up with all the non-contenders? I think it could make a significant difference. Nothing against Burke or WCS but all of a sudden instead of those names you are getting the bigger ones that want to sign with a high profile team.
