Secretly stock up on six major insiders and give blue-collar contracts of 90 million! Is the Mavericks ready for both?

The new NBA season is about to begin, and the new season is very interesting. The East focuses on "anti-involved". In addition to the strongest overall strength of the Cavaliers and the Knicks, many teams will withdraw from the competition next season, including the veteran giants Celtics, the 76ers hovering between reconstruction and championship rush, and the Bucks that maintain superficial competitiveness. This means that all teams are closer to the Finals, but they are much less competitive than the West. During the offseason, the Clippers absorbed four new veterans, the Nuggets filled the lineup depth, and the Rockets got Durant, and they all had the strength to challenge the Thunder. In comparison, the Lakers and Warriors are slightly inferior. One is tripped by James's player option (the management obviously doesn't want to operate), and the other is trapped by Cumingga.

But there are still many uncertainties in the West, such as the Timberwolves who have reached the Western Conference Final for two consecutive seasons. Edwards has gradually grown into a top five super giant in the league, raising the team's upper limit. But there is another team that is very interesting, which is the Mavericks. Last season was equivalent to giving Doncic a free gift to the Lakers as a storefront for the next 10 years. Of course, the league will not treat them unfairly, "compensate" a No. 1 pick, and choose Flag, the Mavericks will build a core framework lineup of three No. 1 picks in the new season. First of all, the Mavericks boss is not short of money. The team's total expenditure next season is third in the league, second only to the Cavaliers and the Knicks, but the team's lineup and the Warriors are just two extremes. The Warriors have 15-man roster and 8 defenders; while the Mavericks have 6 centers!

A week ago, the Mavericks officially signed a contract with former Pelicans player Earl to bring him to training camp. In the words of Dallas media, there are really too many big men on the team! Indeed, in addition to Davis, the two inside players Gafford and Lefly locked in the fifth position to compete, as well as Mavericks veteran Powell, young player Moussesse, and Earl. Do they need so many inside players? Of course, we have to start with Thunder Brow. When he was still playing for the Lakers last season, Thunder Brow suffered an ankle sprain and eye injury. During the quit, the Lakers and Mavericks reached a deal. Thunder Brow complained many times that he didn't want to play the No. 5 position and finally responded: Since you don't want to play the No. 5 position, then go to the Mavericks. When the Mavericks came to the Mavericks, they only played one game against the Rockets, and Thick Brow suffered a strain on the left adductor muscle.

He rejected the management's proposal for season reimbursement and insisted on returning, and eventually the Mavericks were eliminated in the play-offs. Davis has three years left in his contract, with salaries of 54.13 million + 58.46 million + 62.79 million US dollars, but his team is in a very delicate situation. First of all, the Mavericks' management includes the coaching staff Kidd's team, and his attitude supports Thunder Brows not playing in the No. 5 position, so he stocks up so many inside players; secondly, if the No. 1 pick Flag is positioned at No. 3 position in the new season, the Mavericks' lineup will become top-heavy, with only Clay and Russell left in the backcourt, and the inside is bloated. The most important thing is that the Mavericks also gave PJ Washington a four-year, $90 million contract extension. Washington is a pure blue-collar character, eating cakes + defense, with a certain shooting, and the No. 1 pick is doing dirty work around him.

On the surface, when Irving was absent, Russell was on the top, and Davis joined forces with Flag to ensure the team's lower limit. However, Thani Brow also underwent retinal repair surgery during the offseason, and it is expected that she will wear goggles for the rest of her career. Judging from the photos on the media day, the right eye is obviously abnormal and her eyes cannot be injured again! The Mavericks' operations in the past season have seemed very chaotic. If they really want to win in the present, why do they have to clean up Doncic? Doncic successfully lost 30 pounds this summer and is about to usher in Nirvana. The Mavericks also completed a three-year, 120 million contract renewal with Irving, matching the contract with Davis, but the main premise of the team next season is that Flag has to assume certain roles and tasks, and the team must give the No. 1 pick enough room for leveling and improvement.

seems to be a typical example of both the future (surrounding Flag + Leifly) and the present, but at the moment, the most uncertain thing is the thick eyebrows! Many Lakers fans should remember that before and after the Lakers won the championship in 20 and 21, Thick Eyebrow played in the No. 4 position and often encountered some Achilles tendinitis and groin strain. The No. 4 position requires a large-scale movement and defensive coverage. These are two different things from the potential injuries encountered in the No. 5 position (tenitis or plantar fasciitis). The former is uncontrollable, while the latter is controllable. The technical advantages of Brown's Brown can be maximized in the fifth position, but in the face of the fourth position or the misaligned third position, Brown has no advantage in speed, and its technology and flexibility may not be comparable to those of the opponent. The key is that the team's tactics initiated and there is a conflict with Flag.

Obviously, after the Mavericks selected Flag, they found a way out for themselves, and renewing the contract in Washington, including hoarding centers, were all paving the way for the future. After Irving's comeback, if the Mavericks' performance is OK, they can naturally strive for a playoff spot, but for Than Brow, his fragile physical condition is determined to give the team some responses to the Lakers who have given up on him, and I'm afraid they can't hold on. The worst ending is that if Thanime encounters a major injury blow next season, he may become a victim at any time. In essence, Thanime and Xiao Ka are both the same type of people. The older they are, the worse the market is. If you sell it, you need to sell it as soon as possible.
