Considering what little they had to work with, the Mavs’ offseason is off to a bang-up start. They turned a draft pick into three players; dumped Davis...
, an assistant who worked the last decade for the Jazz and is credited with the development of Rudy Gobert.Just how much influence Lindsey wields is hard to say, but if he had anything to do with Curry’s return, he’s already earned his keep. Curry can still shoot it, and he’ll make just under $10 million over the next two seasons. As opposed to Tim Hardaway Jr., who’ll make $34 million over the same span for the same kind of work.
Let me ask: If you needed someone to hit a 3-pointer to save your life, who would you pick, Curry or THJ?The problem with Curry is he’s not guarding anybody, a position already taken by Kyrie and, to a lesser extent, Luka. Don’t expect to see all three on the floor at the same time. It’ll be interesting enough to see how much time Jason Kidd plays Luka and Kyrie together.
Speaking of superstars, the kind ranked among the best ever usually are two-way types who don’t necessarily need others to do their dirty work. Maybewill afford him the energy to work harder on defense. He’s got the size and instincts for it. If he backs off his usage rate a little, as he should, he should have enough gas for at least a few critical stops a game.
Otherwise, adding Williams, who might double down at tight end in the Cowboys’ 12 personnel package, helps immensely. He can guard any position in the frontcourt. If the Mavs sign Thybulle, too, they’ll dramatically alter the mindset of the roster. The question is, will it be enough? Lively gives them a presence in the middle, but he’s still a work in progress. Unless Luka changes his pound-the-ball style, the Mavs are also still too reliant on catch-and-shoot players.Of course, Kyrie creates his own shot as well as anyone in the history of the game. A magician with the ball. Which should tell you something when a player of his caliber, one still in his prime, can’t get even a whiff of a max contract.
