One injury prone guy coming back from knee surgery, one guy that depends on his athleticism to make an impact coming back from an achilles injury, one 3rd string center that was waived by his last team, one situational big that cannot stay on the court, one versatile perimeter big that needs to play next to another bigman.
I don´t blame Powell for his performance. It was obvious that he wouldn´t be the same player. I don´t blame WCS. The Mavs knew who he is and what he can/cannot do. Same for Bobi. No excuses for the MBT. Donnie, Mark and whoever else was involved screwed up.
Feels like most of us wanted the Mavs to add another PF/C or at least a big forward with the MLE. Personally I was really hoping for someone like Favors but the Mavs had different ideas.

Instead of an asset, JJ is just the method we used to get rid of Wright's contract. It's sad that last offseason was used to get rid of the players that we acquired the previous offseason

In total, that's four 2nd round picks for the privilege of paying $16m to a 3rd stringer.

I just can't fathom how a guy seemingly so good at trades can be such a colossal fuckup in free agency. Like why pay 2 2nd rounders for a guard that you're shaky on to begin with and then pay another 2 to just get rid of him the next year?

Sheesh. Mavs would've been better off signing TJ McConnell for 2 years 7 mil. Or I don't know just throwing the minimum at Burke like they did this most recent summer instead of letting him walk to PHI for free???


It's puzzling. Donnie does moves that on the face of it just seem dumb from any perspective, but then he goes and manages to sign Seth to a 4 year 32 mil deal. Maxi on a similar 4 year 36 mil deal. DFS at 12 mil over 3 years. Amazing value signings.

I swear it's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde when it comes to free agency with him. Sign one of the best 3pt shooters in the league on a discount, then give Powell an unneeded raise. Lockup Maxi for a reasonable deal. Give up 4 2nd rounders for Delon Wright.

Mavs aren't going to win a title this year. Neither are the Warriors but I think they would do a Wisemen for KP deal in a heartbeat bc he fits their system and championship window. KP would slide into the Durant spot that they had a few years ago and altho KP is less talented he also fits their flow offense better than Durant did. Durant does a lot of iso and very effectively but the Warriors basically had to change their offense to make it work.

Warriors would resume their 4 star lineup with Curry, Klay, Draymond, KP in 2022.

For Mavs I don't think Wiseman is a step back because he fits better and you are also getting Oubre who is a good player + more importantly a lot of cap space. The cap space this offseason would help you grab another player or two.

I just think Wiseman is a much better fit for this team going forward and lets you spend money on other positions.
