It's hard to know if he can take that next step to playing with others, and feeding them too, rather than using possessions to get his own shots, but answering that question is key to any offer (or to none at all, and just letting it play out). This preseason he is still barely breaking 40% on shooting pct overall, with high turnovers and iffy defense.

I think that deal is kind of okay - I was on your side that he didn’t prove he could play a real role on this specific team next to Luka and Kyrie yet, but I like the number much more than the crazy amounts proposed a couple posts earlier from other users.

One. of those games has been blocked in my area on NBA TV, so basically I was getting about 30% of the Maverick games played.  Certainly no need for me to have NBA TV.  What is it called?...NBA Live--the one that costs an arm and leg?

I'm 35 miles from Waco.  During preseason I used YouTube TV to watch the Waco Channel with the game(s).  BLOCKED!

I don't have high hopes that Mavs TV--at $124, or so--will be any different.  I don't know if I'm "local" or not, but they're all blocked.  I'm not paying that kind of money--again--until there is some solid evidence that I can watch the games.

I have adequate "venues" that are much more reliable than the BLOCKED stations.  I'll use them for now.

I will continue to search for high quality legitimate ways to watch as well...though...

I do have a high definition antenna, but my wife won't let me watch the tv.  I'm King! in my household.  No way my wife can kick me around.  Funny thing:  my wife is 4" taller than I am.  My stepson is 16" taller than I am.  I live the life of a pygmy...

So here is the page to purchase MavsTV. Put in your zipcode and see if you qualify. 

Mark Followill had a very interesting twitter thread and said the new streaming service basically covers large swaths of Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

Quote:Starting Saturday, Oct. 26 with the Mavs vs. Suns game, fans in the Mavericks’ approved region, throughout Texas and parts of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Oklahoma, will be able to stream all Mavs games not nationally televised via the NBA app, NBA.com and all NBA supported assets. This streaming option will be available to fans via a monthly pass for $14.99 or a season-long pass for $124.99. For a limited time only and while supplies last, fans subscribing to a season-long pass will have the option of selecting either a pair of tickets to an upcoming Mavs game or a $75 Mavs merchandise gift card, as a complimentary gift to accompany their season-long subscription. MFFLs can visit mavs.com/mavstv to subscribe now.

I see Luka Ky and Klay the 3 headed monster but with Lively taking a jump in status I think he may qualify as a 4th head to make that monster even deadlier. Now PJ as a PF is a little undersized but he is the designated defender and they never get the full credit for their 2 way efforts since offense is what the buying public wants to see. I still wish he was a bit taller. Omax and Naji should take some minutes off his workload this season and hopefully they excel in that role.

If Sharp had been a bit more refined enough to make a 2way player we might have invested some time with Lively and his blooming talents with the 3 pointer from PF and Sharp or Gaff at the 5. If we have to deal with a new threat from an up and coming team that we fail to address with the current roster maybe Sharp would have been worth keeping. Holmgren, Wemby, Edey and KP are all fairly tall for centers so it makes sense to develop one of those when you get a chance.

Gortman is clearly the keeper among those on 2 ways but if Brandon starts to show major signs he is breaking out then that is 2 guys at PG on the 2 way development squad and a team with Luka, Ky, Din, Hardy, Grimes, Naji, and Exum

You would think with so much talent there to fill in why not let Sharp take a spot and let Brandon find an opportunity elsewhere? Maybe they told him to not go far till they could see which of those 2 we want to keep. Brandon and or Jazzian and when they see a clear leader they can trade the other guy and maybe get another developmental guy to invest in and who knows maybe someone else in on their radar at 3rd string center.
