Zach Lowe has a great podcast and the mavs were the primary topic in the last one with Tim Macmahon.
Basics:
1. We traded seth for Jrich with the assumption that Dodo could continue shooting high 30s like he did last year. We needed more defense and we had shooters. Basically slashers who are 3 and d types.
As has been talked on this thread, ALL of our shooters except Maxi are shooting historic lows.
2. The offense has completely lost its spark. Loss of silas maybe? With luka, we average 113 points for 100 possessions. Not horrible but not great. Wihout Luka, its 99.
3. KP, besides the bubble last year, has been a shell of Unicorn KP
4. The D part of the 3 and D has been terrible also clearly.
Rookies haven't panned out. Bad picks if they are not playing on this team, compared to others that were on the board.
No real solutions right now, unless they want to take on a big contract, but even those are no longer out there a lot. We have no package for Beal either.
