Every team in the NBA has an identity. Sometimes, those identities stick for a long time.
It only makes sense. Often, a team’s general manager was the protege of their last general manager. Principles tend to carry over to some extent.
The Brooklyn Nets tend to trade all of their assets for superstars. The Utah Jazz usually feature elite rim protection.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks usually assemble a squad that will try to outscore you.
Just as often, defense is optional in Dallas. That isn’t always the case, but often, the Mavericks prioritize adding elite offensive players – even at the cost of stopping power.
Could they continue that trend by landing Bojan Bogdanovic of the Detroit Pistons this summer?
