RE: 2021 FREE AGENCY: JC and ATL have "no momentum" - Arioch - 08-03-2021 Big picture question: Has any team significantly bettered themselves this off-season? (I don't think the Mavs have done anything great, but I also don't think they've hurt themselves, and I think at least part of that is just that this was an incredibly weak free agent class to begin with, and that's coming into more focus as I see how little the prospects of any team have changed so far).

I suppose that if you like Westbrook (I don't) you could argue that LA has. I'm pretty confident that Miami will be better than last year, but I don't know if they'll catch the lighting they had in the bubble again. Bam was SPECIAL that season. It's not a bad question. RE: 2021 FREE AGENCY: JC and ATL have "no momentum" - TXBamanut - 08-03-2021 Miami's acquisition of Lowry will make minor to no difference in the final result of their season. I doubt they get past the second round in the East without Brooklyn or Milwaukee or Philly (or really Boston) having a catastrophic injury or roster substraction. Write it down. RE: 2021 FREE AGENCY: JC and ATL have "no momentum" - jesusshuttlesworth82 - 08-03-2021 same shit, different year $30 million in cap space and Bullock is the big acquisition. at least he can shoot unlike Delon Wright a month ago everyone taking about all the big names and how Nico is connected. now everyone talking about he only got the job a month ago. bad free agent class. what did you expect?

Hey, you might be absolutely right. But, in addition to slippage in play from Adebayo, it's obvious that they planned on Herro's great bubble season being the new norm, and that he didn't live up to that this year. I do think Lowry makes them better by addressing that. Probably not better enough to get past the top 3 teams in that conference, I agree. But, better. I think @"Arioch" asked a good and interesting question. I was just applying the most basic of criteria to my answer. RE: 2021 FREE AGENCY: JC and ATL have "no momentum" - Dova - 08-03-2021 This article(i know its bleacher report) predicts the Mavs do a sign and trade for DeRozan.

Cool. So we add one of those guys and lose THJ. Are we significantly better?

So far -- Not many. Chicago is probably the closest in terms of impact additions, but even then it's TBD how they will translate on the floor. Their big move last season has yet to pay dividends in the W column. LA and Miami made lots of noise, but in the end I think they're really lateral moves on aging teams. More hype than substance.

Ball, Powell and probably Fournier yes. The other two could be done together with cap to spare, yes. There were a lot of options to split up the cap for mid tier guys that probably make more sense. We need defense and secondary play making. We got neither. Luka is going to set usage records the way this team is constructed.

Holmes, maybe. The others are at best the type of marginal improvement we got by replacing JRich with Bullock.

Yeah, I didn't list them because there's just something about what they're doing that I don't buy, for whatever reason. But you're right, they should be included. Made a lot of positive change on paper, for sure.

Even the same talking points from two summers ago lol RE: 2021 FREE AGENCY: JC and ATL have "no momentum" - Jym - 08-03-2021 (08-03-2021, 12:38 PM)Dova Wrote: This article(i know its bleacher report) predicts the Mavs do a sign and trade for DeRozan. Would anybody be interested in this? A bit of a double-edged sword with him He'll make it pretty much impossible to trap Luka for an entire half. Derozan would destroy you 4 on 3. No one on the roster now can do anything close to what he could do in that instance So right there he raises our playoff ceiling. But on the other end he sucks defensively and he in a very poor fit in a regular Luka ran offense I think he'd drop our win total in the regular season RE: 2021 FREE AGENCY: JC and ATL have "no momentum" - Okstate819 - 08-03-2021 (08-03-2021, 12:46 PM)mvossman Wrote: Luka is going to set usage records the way this team is constructed.

Rockets , Pistons, Bulls IMO. Think GSW and Lakers most likely too.

Yeah, I disagree that they didn't add defense. But, it's super interesting that Cuban's mission statement was to add a playmaker and that's the one thing we all agree they haven't accomplished yet. |
