Kyrie is not playing like a max player.
Imagine Mavs having Paul Geroge, KAT, Bam Adebayo, D.Booker etc. I did not even count the superstars. Just listed some max players that are worth the given salary.
Kyrie being unavailable due to mental or physical health issues is not a new thing. As a max player he is fraud but I cant accuse him for taking the max contract, that's the FO's mistake. Cuban is probably paying $1m/game for Kyrie since Kyrie is out for half of the games. I dont care how much money Cuban would lose, but I do care about salary cap.
Paying Kyrie max money (while having Luka-THJ) means the rest of the roster to be bad. He may not be responsible for signing a lucrative deal. But Mavs FO is responsible for investing in Kyrie. Its been 1 year and total record is terrible. The reality is Mavs are struggling to make playoffs after that trade while having prime Luka.
That's because you're assuming Mavs could bring in another star(KAT,Booker,George)...btw,you named three players who the Mavs had no chance of getting,those teams were buyers,not sellers
The only problem Kyrie has is injuries(Towns and George aren't ironmen either, they've been relatively healthy this season)
Mavs Got the Best Player they could for verry little...and let's not pretend like they'd be any better with those two...they traded them away cause it didn't work(Both their stats are down)...
I said it before and I'll say it again...DJJ and Exum are on minimum contracts and and are outplaying everybody not named Luka,Kai,THJ and Lively...what do Holmes,Kleber,Grant,Powell give you??Green Just started playing good,was **** the entire season before this stretch,Hardy is giving you nothing(he's basicaly a worse THJ)
At least Mavs get something from the backcourt,the frontcourt apart from Lively gives you nothing..Maxi,Holmes and Kleber combined make 30 mio and they give you 10pts and 10reb and no D
Well said.
Me too.
