Has become? Since when, exactly, was Cuban evee a good GM? He's the basketball version of Jerruh...great owner, doesn't know shit about being a GM. How many other teams in the past 20 years would have hired either one as a GM? (hint: None). Both are in Dallas. Sad...
The Mavs FO had a MASSIVE overreaction to the team struggling when half their lineup was out. They were playing very well before then...and likely would have afterwards. So, they got rid of 2 of their core defenders to get a guy who would help offensively...then were shocked that their defense sucked! Who knew? (hint:everyone else on earth).
Now, suppose they keep Irving. How do you build a good team around he and Luka? (hint, that 10th draft pick *might* help a bit, but it ain't gonna do it). That's not going to be easy, lots of holes to fill, and not much available to help fill them. Trade Irving, maybe...but woudln't that be essentially be trying to get back to where they were before they got him? Only other scenario I see is if can trade for AD, but if Lakers keep playing well (and he's playing well)....not sure I see the Lakers doing that?
If McGee were able to play an extended period of time like he played last few games, that would help tremendously...but they would still need a starting big that is good at rebounding and protecting the rim. A big PF too.
