Mavericks Considering Adding Veteran Ballhandler To Roster

[Maverick41]

If we engage with Detroit on a trade, my preference is Alec Burks instead of Kemba. Probably takes adding Josh or 2 SRPs + Powell and even then Detroit probably keeps him for some vet presence with Cade. I think he would fit tremendously well here though.

Yeah, Alec Burks is also 6'6", fits what Kidd is trying to do.
Powell will help Cade a lot, there's a reason he's Luka's favorite running mate.

Schroeder is a must sign, Luka needs time to recover, Mavs can't put the weight of RS season on his shoulders now.

It's too late, right now his value is very high and Germany can win the trophy.

He will be paid. Bad timing by our FO. Same old story.

So the most realistic rotation is having 3 bigs off bench but Hardy playing center. Brillant.

Is it the most realistic lineup for tanking!?

I think the most realistic scenario is Maxi starts in place of McGee. Start Bullock instead of Hardaway. When Wood proves enough as a defender, rethink the rotation. Place Hardy for inactive roster. Let Green and Ntilikina run some point. Limit Powell to situational player instead of rotation piece.

Green and Ntilikina can't run point.(They probably can't do anything except defend). I doubt that Dorsey can either, but he's still 2 levels better than those 2.

Dorsey looked physically weak in Eurobasket, I think he'll have troubles defending in the NBA level, he looked like 2 inches taller Seth Curry to me.

He's far from ideal, not really a Pg, more scorer, but in comparison of those 2, he's still superior to run a point.

Mavs had never a chance.

It doesn't make any sense they have 3 PGs other than him, Mavs are much better situation.

Mavs apparently don't have enough playing time for another Pg.

Maybe the only goal for this year is Luka averaging 30/10/10 and be MVP?

Well there goes the last free agent that could have made a real impact. Is it safe to say Nico is horrid at free agency? Here's his history so far:

2021: Signs THJ to a horrid contract, signs Bullock to the full MLE and BAE for S. Brown. Keep in mind this this is the summer where we had max space and was supposed to make a splash.

2022: Loses Brunson for nothing. Signs one free agent with the TMLE, 34 year old Javale McGee to a 3 year fully guaranteed deal within minutes of the start of free agency. That's it.

You would think a former popular Nike executive would be better at recruitment.

I'm simply baffled, are they not seeing what we saw for 3 years from this ream?
I'd trade Green for Burke at this point...

Pretty much. They are reverting back to what was proven to not work. I don't see much of a difference between this roster and the start of last year or the 2 before that. Here's a comparison of the top 8 players:

2021 vs Now
Luka --> Luka
THJ --> THJ
Bullock --> Bullock
DFS --> DFS
KP --> Wood
Brunson --> Dinwiddie
Powell --> McGee
Maxi --> Maxi

I think there's a legitimate argument that we had a better team to start the year last year.

It's the fact this team was screaming for a 3rd ball handler in both 2020 and 2021 PO, and the team completely turned around when they got that 3rd ball handler mid season, even at the expense of downgrading at center.

That doesn't mean he's the right fit.

A finals team dumped him and a dumpster fire signed him.
