There is a middle ground between “drafting josh green over saddiq bey is the dumbest decision by a FO since Bowie over Jordan” and “Mavs fans are toxic for pointing out flaws.”
That middle ground is that this team has largely overachieved despite its mismatched pieces. Those mismatched pieces are the FO’s fault, but hindsight is 20/20. Like purplefrog said the vast majority of us applauded the moves that hurt the most today — trading for/ paying KP and Seth for JRich.
This off-season could set the stage for Luka’s career and whether he retires a Mav or leaves after his first extension. I don’t think whether this team is critically flawed is up for debate though. The Clippers have tried to hand us this series. If they win game 7 I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re swept by the Jazz. We need the Mavs BT to admit this team can not truly contend as built.
