We should all focus on the positive.  With all these names going off the board, we are one step closer to an RFA tender of THT and that puts us one giant step forward towards a championship.

That would leave enough room to add TWO more useful pieces, it would seem.


I would be ok if Mavs can do it as a trade without using cap space. To keep possibility to operate over the cap

I don't think there's going to be a market for Dragic at 19 mil for Masai to have leverage but we'll see how it plays out.  Some of these tweets are making me feel like there's already something agreed upon.

Then we tell him to F off.  I can think of a lot of MLE level guys I would rather pay MLE money to before Dragic.  19 mil is crazy overpriced.

I think for the sake of the fans, the Mavs would be warranted to make some kind of move right away.  It would ease us negative nancy's.    Unless it was a terrible move Smile

Dragic makes jump shots and assists 

it's the secondary ball handler thing

And it’s dumb like 90% of the stuff they did last decade. We’re the last team that should be looking for rentals.

The moment guys like Lillard will become available we still won’t have anything to offer. No assets. As always. Dragic doesnt solve a single longterm problem of this team.

12 months from now his value will be even less than it is right now. He will be the useless veteran nr 47432 that won’t even be good enough to gain SnT interest. 

I give up if this happens. No more league pass, that will be it. I should have stopped following years ago.

Dragic is not the end of the world, no matter what. He makes the team better, and as we're seeing, there aren't a ton of great options right now. 

If it's into space, it could be a solid passing C grade for me. 

If it's a trade involving Powell, it has the potential to be even better. 

He's going to be better here than Wright or Josh Richardson. Just keep reminding yourselves of that.

AND, CUBAN KEEPS HIS CAP SPACE FOR NEXT SUMMER! YAY!

No move satisfies the Negative Nancy's. It just changes who the negaytive Nancy's are.

I could see Dagic at the TDL returning something.  Is Precious worth the price of eating two years of Powell?  Why not just keep Dragic's expiring instead?  Tax savings?

Wish we had just traded for him a couple years ago instead of trying to pull off that weird Olynyk trade that failed

Be honest. Last good free agency for the Mavs was in...?

It would bring them closer to 2022 caproom and that’s probably 50% of why DAL/Cuban is pushing for this move.

We should limit that to the last good FA signing otherwise we'll dig for a while.  Curry.

gonna be an amazing feat if they actually manage to avoid luxury tax the entire time that Luka is here

I don't quite follow this.  We should be chasing after stuff that puts us in a position to make a big trade?  Should we just be collecting assets instead of collecting basketball players?  I mean I definitely think priority number 1 should be fixing the 2023 draft situation so I assume we're on the same page there but us getting Dragic doesn't put us any further than we already were from making a big trade.  Plus those trades always require a big expiring contract so it's not like it's completely useless.

if traded into space, I consider it an F.

If Powell is outgoing, I consider it a B.
