1. Continuity and competing and developing THIS roster into one that will grow with Luka without ruining a chance at 2;
2. Finding Luka a transcendent 2nd star, one of the most difficult objectives in the nba.
I like a lot of the ideas being thrown about but I think if the plan does not follow through on these two narratives it is not inside the bullseye enough for Mavs to pull the trigger.
I should add
3. Find veterans that can be added to shore up weaknesses and improve strengths without ruining the future ability to do 2
It's quite the balancing act. How do you add vets to fill needs/minutes on the floor without breaking up continuity? I think the hardest part is deciding what pieces are worth investing in to achieve that continuity. From where I'm sitting it feels like the only pieces that the FO seems to think that way about are Luka, DFS, Hardaway and maybe Brunson (although him falling out of rotation in the post season isn't a great sign). Honestly though it feels like everyone not named Luka is on the block if there's a good offer for you point #2.
