Mavs Staffing

Nick why are the Mavericks not interested in Isaiah Hartenstein? They did okay for their first off-season & no draft picks. I don't really think they were going to draft anyone significant anyways. I would give them a C+ they upgraded the wing position in getting 2 3 & D players so that is a positive. However they still didn't address what Cuban had said about getting a secondary ball-handler. They still need to address their rebounding issues & a big who can defend. That's why I bring up Hartenstein he would solve those issues & he is still young enough they probably would not have to pay much for him this late into free agency.
Nick, no but they got better defensively at the wing position. So it's not just on DFS to guard the best player every night. You also have Sterling Brown & Reggie Bullock to help as well. They still need a secondary ball handler & they are still thin at the power forward position. The Mavericks should be see if they can trade for Tomáš Satoranský from the Pelicans. He is a young point guard who can be that secondary ball handler the Mavericks need. Isaiah Hartenstein can be that big that has position flex like a lot of people say that Porzingis but he is really a center. Hartenstein can play at the power forward position & give the Mavericks another defender & really good rebounder to backup Kleber.
So you don't think that Hartenstein can play the power forward position? Why not? It's the same thinking when people say that Porzingis should play power forward when his natural position is Center. They have no depth behind Kleber. So if Kleber gets hurt you are going to stretch DFS to power forward when his natural position is small forward? Hartenstein would be a good addition because he does not need to play Center. He has position flexibility to play power forward. Porzingis might do better than season we will see. Kleber has done okay, we hope that Brown can provide that but with so many Centers on the roster where can he get minutes. You forgot Kleber can play Center but he will probably be playing Power forward most likely on the second unit. Also you left out Willey Cauley Stein he is on the Mavericks roster as the other center.
