RE: MAVS NEWS: Kidd: McGee & SD to start | CW off bench | Lawson Deal incoming? - cow - 07-15-2022 (07-15-2022, 03:26 PM)mvossman Wrote: It doesn't really matter because I don't see LA making that trade. You might be right but: -Lakers don't want Westbrook but don't want to give up future firsts to get rid of him. That makes Kyrie unlikely. -Lakers have sniffed around Buddy for a while. There is no better comp to Buddy than THJ. -Lakers need shooting and more than just one player. They could make use of Bertans in this regard. Yes, he's grossly overpaid but they would get to keep their future firsts while getting what they desire (no Westbrook, shooting). Bertans contract is they price they'd have to pay to accomplish all of their goals. I don't think it is that far fetched.

And what would you consider "turning it around" after nuking the Jazz , embarrassing the Suns, and losing to the eventual champions in the conference finals?

If they are banking on any kind of production from a second round pick they are even more desperate than I thought. I think Tjarks found the right words. It´s a gamble. And a gamble should be the cherry on top. Not a part of the "need to work or we are in trouble" plan.

Tim Bontemps nailed it from start to finish. They haven´t punted on the next two seasons. This is their version of trying to compete on a budget. If they punted on the next two years, they´d pursue a Westbrook deal, clean as much bad cap as possible immediately, signed some young players and rolled with that. There is no long-term plan. The only long-term plan I could see is that Cuban is in big financial trouble, can´t even pay the luxury tax, is now milking the team for max profits the next two years before selling the team to balance his finances and let whoever buys the team deal with the Luka trade request. Jealously here is off the charts with people shitting on a Knicks off-season that could include signing Brunson and Hartenstein, plus acquiring Mitchell. If we did something similar, people here would be planning the parade, instead we have to listen to people acting like McGee is the catch of the off-season. Refuse to pay Brunson 25 + Thomas Bryant 2 but would pay Brunson 21 + McGee 6. That´s Mavs salary cap math for you.

It reminds me of Brunson after his first summer league. He was awful, and everyone was wringing their hands over Dallas not drafting Mitchell Robinson. That worked out fine, and there's more to producing in the NBA than stuffing a stat sheet in the summer league.

It's the missed open looks that bother me and what he'd be contributing on the next level. The plus side is that he looks comfortable with the ball and isn't afraid to shoot it like some people. *coughjoshcough* RE: MAVS NEWS: Kidd: McGee & SD to start | CW off bench | Lawson Deal incoming? - DallasMaverick - 07-15-2022 (07-15-2022, 04:26 PM)cow Wrote: It's the missed open looks that bother me and what he'd be contributing on the next level.

Maybe it's easier for a reluctant shooter to learn to be aggressive, than for a shot-hunter to cool his jets and play within the flow.

Rick told DFS not to shoot early on unless he was wide open. He's carried that reluctance forward as he's become a knockdown shooter, unfortunately. He mentions in it just about every post game interview he's involved in that Luka and his teammates have to remind him to shoot. More aggression with his shot and off the dribble is what I want to see from DFS next. I like Hardy's confidence, form and handle. I hope he can earn playing time but I'm pretty weary of him getting that out of the gate.

I don't think anyone is trying to burn the house down I've asked myself the biggest difference in our playoff success from 1st round exits to western conference finalists. The biggest difference makers in my mind would be JB and Bullock. So I get why losing JB for nothing gets people in panic mode. The Wood addition is interesting. I'm not sure if we are going to be better or worse but I don't think it will be drastic in either direction. We are just going to be a very different team. That's exciting in its' own right.

I think the only valid "play-in team" argument is the improvement of the other Western Conference teams. I think that's overblown, and that with health, this *should* still be a top five team in the West. However, we will return to being first round outs if JB's ballhandling isn't replaced. Go get Conley, or whoever. RE: MAVS NEWS: Kidd: McGee & SD to start | CW off bench | Lawson Deal incoming? - hakeemfaan - 07-15-2022 The problem is with one stud you can legit go back to being a play in team the next season around. Clippers and Wolves might be better. Lakers might be better. Even if not play in it is not going to be a shocker if the Mavs lose in the first round. Having two studs is what gives teams a legit base. We didn’t lose a stud but we lost our 2nd best playoff performer from last season. Can THJ and Wood compensate? We don’t know at this point. Maybe we can. However what would have been really great is to take the core of that team that went to the WCF last season and have added Wood and THJ. That would have been a scary good team.

Cuban is worth 8 billion dollars. He has no financial problems. None. He is just stingy, conceited and a man child. But financial problems?
