Quote:Luka Doncic and Dwight Powell were among at least nine Mavericks who spent three days training together in Miami last week, returning to Dallas on Friday. “Just team-bonding,” Doncic said. “It was a good trip, for sure.”

Powell said players began communicating early in the summer about coming together, as a team, for a working vacation of sorts. “It was great to get guys together, spend time together away from Dallas outside of the season,” he said. “Obviously we’ll be together on the road when the season starts, but it’s good to get some team dinners and get everybody on the same page.”

Although it was largely a players-only trip, the Mavericks organization did send a small group of assistant coaches and trainers to monitor and assist in the workouts.

Quote:Mavericks players, of course, have been scrimmaging with and against Porzingis in the flesh. “He’s very good,” Powell said with a laugh. "He’s very, very good. I’m excited, very excited.”

What has most stood out in the play of Porzingis, who has not appeared in an NBA game since tearing the anterior cruciate in his left knee on Feb. 6, 2018?

“He’s 7-foot-3 and he shoots it from anywhere, with ease. It’s kind of hard to affect that shot. He’s moving well, he’s at full-strength.” Powell paused. Another laugh. “He’s looking very good out there. We’re all very excited.”

Quote:JJ Barea, who ruptured his right Achilles last season and underwent surgery on Jan. 14, said he began playing five-on-five recently and that he has been medically cleared to take part in the opening day of training camp.

“That’s the plan,” he said.

Here is where we will keep up with all things Luka.

Here goes for a round of all-encompassing NBA talk.

I want to test polls.

Okay, this will be the official thread for requests and/or issues to report. 

This is early enough, that if this forum software doesn't have all the solutions we can pick another one and start over again QUICK before we get too deep into this one, if need be. So hopefully this one has solutions I can find via plug-ins and settings, if not we can find another fast. 

Please help me list all the issues, and I will try to find solutions fast for us. 

For now, we will stay DB.com style, and hopefully everyone comes on board and I can get us a redirect url for Fish... if not, we may have to pivot but I am not trying to do this as a ploy or disrespectful manner. Hopefully, Fish wants to be involved and can be, and if not we will pivot then. Kamm has my phone number now, and if anyone else wants to mod, I can give access, and my phone number as well. My phone number should help with accessing me sooner for fixing things and emergencies to address. 

Thank you all for your patience, and we will get all these things resolved.
