I would much rather have just paid Brunson, but it sounds like the Mavs didn't even have the chance, so I guess I can't be mad at them- other than for not extending him months ago, but whatever. It is what it is.
As for Hardy... yes, I'm just crossing my fingers hoping to god that he turns out to be this amazing sleeper for us. Because the way things are right now, I don't really see a path forward to surrounding Luka with the talent needed to win a title unless we get insanely lucky- like if Hardy turned out to be a star. Or even just a starter. For us to put another star next to Luka, I feel like one has to fall out of the sky, because we're never getting one in free agency and we don't have the assets to trade for one either.
