Bigger problem is that he exposes the defense because he crashes the glass every single time. Not even thinking about transition defense. Last 3 by Bjelica was him being late to get back. Forcing him to close out hard. Easy pump fake and side step by Bjelica. Open 3.

Kristaps, despite of missing all his 3pt shots, is really trying to do good things all game long. Lot's of effort on his part. Searching hard for positives ...

THERE WE GO!
KP with the long two, then breaks up the lob pass. Then DFS with the strong finish and-1! More of that!!

Mavs have #18, #31. THJ SnT, Wright, and Jackson as assets to me that are the most tradeable.
I think Derrick Rose perfectly fits the creator off the bench we want Wright to be and I think he'll be more than available. To be fair I think all the people clamoring to trade THJ after 3 bad games is crazy. He's a streaky shooter. That's always been his MO. THJ WILL get hot, its a matter if when not if.
Speaking of, 4 quick points from THJ!
THJ & Jackson have small value as expiring contracts. Wright has negative value. Mavs broadcast thought Burke would start and JJB did start. Wright has played 10 minutes. Carlisle doesn´t trust him at all.
We are back to the (properly paid) core of Luka, Porzingis, DFS, Kleber, Brunson, Curry plus $43M in capspace for the summer of 2021, if we can somehow find a way to trade Powell and Wright.
Everybody else can go.

Don´t think so but it might not be the best idea to let the best wing defender on the roster crash the offensive glass. Especially when other players like Luka and KP like to do the same. Mavs improved their offensive rebounding compared to previous seasons but they are dead last in transition defense.

Jackson misses 2 wide open 3's created by Luka. If we want to win anything, Mavs can't have their role players miss wide open shots like that.

The number of mistakes might just be to big. Really can't belive they are still in the game with all that untimely misses, turnovers, missed freethrows etc

Jackson is shooting 29.8% from 3 for the season and that´s supposed to be his strength. His unique combination of terrible percentages and high volume can only be matched by the former Mavs legend Charlie V.

I wish, I was kidding, but is Luka our best perimeter defender?

And DFS drops yet another offensive rebound.
Luka is insane.
Stops Bjelicia, jukes out Bjelicia, then lobs it perfectly to KP for his 16th triple double.
