small sample size alert, but, luka doncic's usage rate through four games is 33.7 percent. it would be the second-lowest mark of his career.

Dereck Lively is quickly becoming one of my favorite Mavs of all time.

Such a grounded dude who has a handle on what's important, doesn't display any of those toxic qualities that come from insecurity and selfishness, has an amazing bball IQ for his age, and versatility and skill that no one saw coming. So cool that he's a Mav. My last Mavs jersey was DFS. I may have to get a DLive.

Would he go number 1 in a redraft?

The Mavs are listening to worship/gospel music during practice today.

That decision could continue to bite us in the ass if these injuries to our bigs pile on because they get overplayed in the absence of their back ups. Unless they see another big target to add they need to look into getting Sharp back on the team or someone else who can man the middle. We desperately need someone that has some size and ability to defend the basket. Depending on a rookie is something we were used to last season and it did not seem to hurt us. Worst thing is we develop a trade asset that could bring back more assets. Using Powell is not that great of an option. So we are down 2 PF's and 1 of our centers. That truly sucks bigtime.
