Since we know Cuban will be the big boss we can start assuming what offseason will look like. Based on historical lessons learns there are two main driving forces regarding free agency:
- we love our boys in blue and
- we love stars.
Mavs have shown extremely little creativity in the past so I don't think both are an option. My prediction: Mavs will resign THJ for a hefty contract (because only so so stars are available and likely most of them don't want to come to Dallas) and announce it as a great victory. You know - "Pachulia is the best center" style (after the one they really went after showed them a middle finger).
In the last years Mavs were quick at pulling the trigger to clean up mistakes, not trying to make them work. Barnes, Matthews, Jordan, Wright to name most recent ones. Never had a problem losing assets along the way. So I wouldn't be surprised KP and JRich (if he opts in) get dumped for trash. I am extremely pessimistic Mavs will come better after the offseason.
