r/Mavericks

Would it be stupid at this point to offer Rui Hachimura the MLE?
I know it sounds like a Masai Ujiri joke. Thirteen 6'7+ guys on the roster isn't enough yet? Don't we need a point guard?
But I think Rui is probably going to be the most screwed by the lack of options this summer and LA's decision to reconfigure their roster without him.
We still have the full MLE. I think he deserves more than that. He's a 6'8 forward starter who shot 44.3% from 3 last year (and over 40% the last three) and had to be a leader defensively carrying a team with Luka, Reaves and old LeBron. Moreover, he seems to be a really good teammate.
He was going to be my free agency target before we drafted Morez, but I wonder if it still makes sense? Too many mouths to feed, but at $16M a year, he's basically a trade asset. Nobody has more than the NTMLE to offer him right now, and we're one of the few teams that hasn't used it.
Is it a bad use of resources to pick up a guy who doesn't really fit structurally and is a little old for the timeline, or a good use of resources to add an excellent shooter and solid defender in his prime who will probably be making less than market value and maybe shop him later?
Why are the Mavs not picking up Dwight Powell?
Dwight is a mavs for life. Been a great teammate for a very long time. Please explain why the mavericks don’t not want to keep him for just atleast vibes? When he plays he’s all in, think he would be a great culture guy, but honestly great leader on the 2nd squad
Nick Smith Jr.
Nick Smith Jr. shot 40% from 3 as he began to hit his stride with the Lakers. He's 6'6" in shoes with a 7'2" wingspan. If Tarik won't sign, sign this man! He played great to end the season, and many Lakers Fans were surprised they didn't re-up him.

Possibility on Kyrie getting traded at the deadline?
Now I really don’t want this to happen but I really do believe that if kyrie comes back producing at an all star level that we really should sell high and get some draft picks this team desperately needs them.

Roster if LeBron chooses oil?
Ok ok I do not think he is at all considering Dallas, nor do I want the circus act that would follow. Just having fun while we wait for Masai and Schmitz’s next shrewd move.
Barring health (I know colossal if), the roster would be kind of scary no? Or too old?
