That's either picks, players, cap space or a combo of all them. Yes, sir. BRAVO! And, while I know we as Dallas fans only know the life of kamikaze piloting ourselves from one drunken, ill-advised, big money trade to the next, I'm convinced that a key part of the process you're describing above is the ABSENCE of roster CRAP, or as close to none of it as you can get. Somewhere along the line for Mavs fans, "flexibility" became a word used to describe "failure," and so the emotions involved with those words are now linked for many. The post championship Mavs were in total denial. Everything they tried for like 8-9 years was moronic as hell. Think of that as Donnie going to GM grad school, if you want, but regardless, THIS situation is different. You'd almost have to TRY to mess this up. Have we not noticed how the national guys are paying attention to everything the Mavs are doing this time, even in a year when they don't have cap space? Relevance is on the rise. This is all working, and we should all just enjoy the ride, imo.

You dont think Trey Burke is a backup PG? What am I missing here? Hollinger has him rated higher than Reggie Jackson, DJ Augustin, and Jevon Carter among his available PG free agents.

I'm honestly not sure if he can really play PG. My gut tells me that if he could, he would have found a niche in the league by now. I don't really have a strong opinion, though. We'll probably find out this year, because I bet he plays more this time around.We're not talking about a lot of time in the game where Luka is sitting. I mean, he could possibly reach 38-40 mpg this season if he gets some time off randomly while still being in the game. RE: DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | "Lots of things flying around right now." - jesusshuttlesworth82 - 11-22-2020 Ok now I'm confused why everyone thinks Jalen Brunson is a good backup PG and Trey Burke is not a PG at all. They have almost identical assist and turnovers numbers. Per 36 minutes last two seasons. JB 5.8 assists 2.1 turnovers Burke 5.4 assists 1.6 turnovers RE: DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | "Lots of things flying around right now." - Drew - 11-22-2020 Lots think it’s Burke as more of a SG. Much like JET could play PG but wasn’t really. Also WTF did Brunson do to some of y’all? No he’s not untradable or a guy we can’t upgrade from...but some of you are flat out agains him even being on the team at all. Would even care to resign him? Why? He’s a legit capable back up PG in a high IQ system. Lots of teams would be glad to have him, and so should we. I don’t think he should be a “throw in” in a trade like I’ve seen in here. If we lose him it better be for an actual upgrade and not like the Delon/Jackson “just get rid of them” way.

It's an assumption on my part, but based on how he flourished in his playoff role, the fact that they brought him back on a three year deal, and the need for more playmaking in general, I kind of expect him to play Seth minutes, not backup PG minutes. I think Terry is behind Burke, Green is behind Richardson, Mace Windu is behind DFS and Tyler Bey is behind Johnson, all four of them learning how they're supposed to play here. I see METHOD. PLANNING. One of any of those pairings is expendable at any point as a trade asset. Built in redundancies. Losing DFS in a trade won't scare us as much if we've seen that Mace Windu can play. Etc, etc, etc. Then again, maybe Burke will just be a deep bench guard. The above is just my early take on it all.

I think I've decided to call it Plan BOB (Bigger or Better) lol. Yeah and in the game of BOB you sometimes make a trade that's actually not as good as what you had but then it leads to something even better. I think that move so far could be Wright. It was a move that actually seemed like step back. But it allowed us to trade for James Johnson and his fairly large expiring deal. That's really about the same value of 9 mill of cap if you had kept that instead of signing Wright. That piece may turn into something better. I'd actually go as far to say that I'll be shocked to see J Johnson on the team past the deadline. But I also thought Lee would be gone too. But to also be fair... They were so close to almost turning him into Danny Green. You can't always close the trades when playing BOB.

Not sure he can actually run the offense of Luka has to miss games. At least not yet. we also are looking at a few games in the bubble and forget we actually cut the dude mid season because he wasn’t bringing anything. Meanwhile all Brunson did wrong was being forced into the starting lineup(out of his comfort zone as a backup PG in his 2nd year)for a significant amount of time, struggle a bit, and then get hurt.

If that is the case, I'll take my chances on Burke being good enough to play a few minutes (with JRich as another ball handling playmaker in the game) while Luka sits. That's also saying that the return isn't another ball handling playmaker themselves.(11-22-2020, 01:09 AM)ItsGoTime Wrote: We're not talking about a lot of time in the game where Luka is sitting.

Would ANYONE here be shocked if he got moved at the deadline, or was available next summer? And there will be others. There are always unforeseen opportunities that pop up in this league.

They have almost identical assist and turnovers numbers. The thing is with PG's and any position there are different types. Chris Paul is a fantastic PG and so is Steph. Completely different players. They both run the offense and both get assists. (perhaps you could use a better pg than Steph that gets more assists) Steph is going to draw in the defense with his offense and then make the pass. Paul is going to maneuver the defense and create the openings with his passing and savvy. Generally your pg's fall into one of these 2 roles. Luka arguably is equally good at both ha. We are stupid lucky. No exception for Brunson and Burke here. They both have their uses and depending on your roster construction really determines what you need more of in a backup guard. RE: DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | "Lots of things flying around right now." - KillerLeft - 11-22-2020 We definitely know that Burke can handle and pass well enough to play the position. We also know that he's a three level scorer, and that certainly helps. That's where his assists come from. But, what I don't think is yet clear is whether he can read the entire floor in such a way as to determine where his team's advantage is...I don't know if he can judge situations on behalf of the TEAM, and not just to determine whether he, himself, has an advantage. He might be able to do that like a champ, but if so, I just wonder why he's gone into his late 20's without catching on with some team.

My biggest argument for Bogdon is that if a guy like George pops up now we don't have a good centerpiece for very good player plus assets to make a deal. I strongly believe Bogdon's #s take a nice jump up here with the talent around him, plus a system that caters to guards that can shoot and run the PNR/general playmaking skills. If we were to sign Bogdan I'd be willing to bet he's scoring 20ppg efficiently the first 2months of the year. I'm that confident in the offensive fit. Now imagine flipping that into George or someone else with the other assets we have.

I choose not to get bent out of shape about situations like that because we aren't in position to know A) whether the Mavs would even want him in any type of plan or B) whether he wants to play here. I said this in another conversation, but for all we know, he's trying to BE a team's Luka. (primary ball-handler, not necessarily superstar) There's just no way for us to know.

I don't think he can. And I know Brunson can. There's a role for each here. I'm still not convinced that Brunson doesn't turn into a Kyle Lowry type player and become a long term starter next to Luka and actually take some of that PG duties away from Luka. I actually wonder if the Mavs don't think something similar. Lowry and Brunson are the same body build. Brunson actually has better stats than Lowry's first 2 years. He's actually well ahead of him on the shooting front. Brunson putting up something like 15 and 7, Luka, defensive wing, ?, KP. And Luka would stagger with Burke, Terry or whoever your scoring guard off the bench is. Luka + Burke was a nasty offensive punch in the bubble at times. |
