Non Knee-Jerk Takes

[ReunionMav]

For the next 27 games we continue the Nico/Kidd evaluation of our own players and our own rotations. Bertrand and Dinwiddie will now get their brief evaluation to try to earn a playoff rotation spot. Playing with Luka and Brunson should help them but we will see. I have recent memories of both playing very well and earning their high salaries. If they want a good place to play, they will have to earn it all again. 

Porzingis did not pass his  evaluation. My Porzingis shirt to support him just lost value and one of our more hopeful trades and signings DID NOT work out….. unless our player rehab skills pull off a really good one. 

Given reports from today sounds like THJ has not earned much status with Nico and Kidd. The lesson for all. Defense is required here!

DFS clearly got an A. Brunson more than passed but his salary grade is yet to be determined. Given his great success and his wonderful respect for Kidd it looks good for him and us that he will be here. He should ask the two new guys how easy it is to succeed with one team and not another. The grass is green right her in Dallas. 

I hope we get Dragic. I think he would be so good for Luka as Luka respects him. He knows how to win a game or three for us.
