RE: DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | "Lots of things flying around right now." - cow - 11-21-2020 (11-21-2020, 07:13 PM)Scott41theMavs Wrote: When you put it that way, not much to argue with. We'll see. As I said to SH, I just hope that if they let him walk, they can find a way to replace what he brought in terms of rim protection and athletic finishing. I suspect not. I'm not expecting him to be one of our five best players - I just want him to provide a needed skillset when KP sits (like the first month of the season!!!). Whatever his commitment to basketball is, I doubt you're going to find those raw talents for equal or less money. Is there someone more committed to basketball out there who can provide those same two benefits that WCS provides consistently without basketball interest who would be available for $6 mil or less a year and within the Mavs' timeline??? There's no perfect solution. Ibaka might be able to approximate the rim protection but he's not a finisher. Instead you get is extended range shooting ability. Baynes is more physical so he doesn't check either box but you can have him wrestle with more traditional centers and again, has extended range. Triston Thompson I really don't like but he's probably the best rebounder of the bunch...I just don't think he's a fit for the modern NBA. I'm drawing a blank on the other options. If we aren't in this Bogi hunt, I wish we'd just go get Baynes at this point. He seems to fit the price range and he gives a damn.

Mavs can't just abandon modern floor spacing concepts on one of the many nights that KP is injured or taking the night off for load management. so damn true.

Yes it doesn't make all that much sene from the $$ standpoint or perhaps even the on court product... And wouldn't that be why Sacramento is dumb enough to do it? This is more of a commentary on their stupidity ha RE: DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | "Lots of things flying around right now." - omahen - 11-21-2020 Desperate https://twitter.com/joevardon/status/1330312925664456704 Of course you have no other option but to sign with Lakers, if you are represented by Lebron Klutch. Still nice contract, though https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1330313657717288963 https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1330314710584086530 RE: DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | "Lots of things flying around right now." - SleepingHero - 11-21-2020 (11-21-2020, 07:53 PM)omahen Wrote: Of course you have no other option but to sign with Lakers, if you are represented by Lebron Klutch.

Thats severely disappointing RE: DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | "Lots of things flying around right now." - cow - 11-21-2020 At least we will not have Triston on our team. Odd they didn't bring Baynes back. Maybe Baynes has another deal in place contingent on another signing.

RE: DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | "Lots of things flying around right now." - farhan583 - 11-21-2020 Who the hell is Wes Iwundu RE: DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | "Lots of things flying around right now." - SleepingHero - 11-21-2020 Well it says nearing... Maybe its not done yet. I would be forever puzzled that the Mavs prioritized Wes Iwindu over Aron Baynes or Bogdon if they do end up signing him. I don't even know where he'd fit.

RE: DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | "Lots of things flying around right now." - Branduil - 11-21-2020 My assumption is that this means the Mavs think A. Powell is healthy enough to play at the start of the season and/or B. James Johnson can play center in a pinch. RE: DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | "Lots of things flying around right now." - Thukydides - 11-21-2020 Now I´m so interested, what Baynes ends up getting. Something must be wrong there. I was sure, we would sign a big man, but besides that I like Iwundu. He´s shown great scoring potential RE: DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | "Lots of things flying around right now." - StepBackJay - 11-21-2020 Wesley Iwundu has to be a vet min guy which makes me wonder if the JJB noise is not accurate.

RFA but I think ORL lets him walk with as many wings they already have. His skill set and frame is a great match here, could develop into another DFS. Never Vet min i think. If he is a RFA. 2nd yr better be a team option.

There seems to be a hell-bent hatred there for athleticism and rim protection. If Powell is considered to be a five, then there's no excuse for giving him the money and minutes he gets - he has (had) the hops to be a great rim-roll finisher and the intelligence to switch well defensively on the perimeter, but his rim protection is below non-existent. I tell you, watching Powell trying to bother, much less block, an offensive player's shot, hurt my eyes and my basketball brain. He reminded me of Keith Van Suck - it literally seemed that his hapless efforts to bother the shot resulted in a higher percentage than the shooter would have had were he wide open. Traditional fours need to provide some rim protection as well, or at least to be able to defend the paint against bully-boys. LOL Powell. They STILL garbage players!? The heck? They just were surrounded with enough talent to make their contributions binary. |
