I have so many thoughts and they are all muddled right now.   I think where i am at now, is the Mavs can't try to improve around the edges.  They can't think they are one final piece and this team is a championship contender.  They need to go big game hunting.  Find the best talent...even if it is not the best fit.   If Luka and Rick are as good as we hope, they can figure it out.  If not, you have a attractive asset.   With the trouble over the last two offseasons, they probably will not have a championship level team next year and that would put them behind schedule on my timeline (but I will reserve my right after the summer).   But can they improve where they are in the next tier of teams with flexibility and attractive assets to make that final move in time?

What is big game hunting?  That gets tricky.    Can you go big game hunting if you resign Hardaway?   Are the restrictive free agents even legit targets?  Is it best to sell low on KP now or take a more long range view?   If Brunson cannot get and earn 30 minutes a night he is probably not a long term player here, so does that change your plan for this summer?

I am feeling like you, starting to think we are at the cross roads of ‘big game hunting’ vs. ‘continuity’ and I don’t think big game hunting this year involves free agency. So my question is what can we get in return for our best players on good contracts:

DFS
Brunson
Klieber

Is there a star player out there we can get in exchange for these 3 guys?
