The Dallas Mavericks survived the draft and may actually have the start to a better team if not much better.
Sure they did not receive Clint Capela and apparently because they did want to give up Green and Hardy. I am a bit impressed.
What they did shoots down the win right now thinking, yet they may not be that far off. If they can sign Kyrie and are able to get a decent veteran for the mid level exception on a couple of years to give all the young players a year to develop and maybe another piece next year, they may be playoff bound this year and a contender in two years. Still some work to be done and free agency is still way too important (what happens when you haven’t drafted decently for ten years except for Luka), yet two good signings and things are looking significantly up.
Holmes ain’t bad and could be a really good surprise with the change of scenery. We will see.
The two draft picks are great compliments to a strong foundation so we need the free agency to go well for this foundation to be real championship contenders in those two years. Or if we could trade Hardaway for a decent 3 and d player, even an older veteran to get us through this year then we could really look at adding more youthful potential to give us five years of possible contention starting in two years. I liked Bertans, but that was a good move trading him so maybe lightning can strike twice and we can trade Hardaway or better yet him and JaVale. Could things go so well?
July 1st is not that far away, but as a Mavs fan it will feel like an eternity.
Cheers
