After the two big trades this weekend, who’s the most improved team now: Spurs, Lakers, or Mavericks ?

[Loose]

Dallas imo

 

[Luke Cage]

Dallas for the next two seasons. Spurs and Lakers for the future.

Mavs made iet to the finals last year as a first year team with defensive specialists Kyrie and Luka, people act like they don't play defense at all.

It wasn't defense that was their only problem, they barely managed to drop 100 points and Celtics didn't crack 110 points.

AD be having 17 points one game, and he MIGHT crack 30 the next night.

Spurs. Dallas and Lakers got worse

Nico’s rationale of wanting more defense is fine, but he’s totally overvaluing defense in this era of NBA. It’s way more important to have a supremely talented offensive player than a supremely talented defensive player.

Mehhh defense wins championships and we’ve seen it on more than one occasion as typically teams in the top 10 in both offense and defense end up winning the entire thing.
