MAVS NEWS:

[F Gump]

When/where did he say this? I’d love for a bit more context if there was any.

I listened to the interview more than once, just for clarity. My sense of the way he spoke to the Mavs situation was that he wasn't speaking with inside info, but instead was reading/reacting like we try to do here. It was all 2+2 reasoning, working from the assumption that they WILL find a good way to address the needs, so anything not addressed must still be in the works.

So, one point he made: The Mavs indicated a wing was a big priority - they haven't gotten one - therefore, they must have a move coming to get one.

A secondary idea: It might be a big move, because look at all the expiring contracts they could use. (He recited Powell, Kleber, Wood.) And THJ too, he mentioned.

Then a few minutes later he's saying how Wood and Kleber will be key big men this year, so he doesn't really see them as trade chips after all, not really. 

However, he didn't have any ideas of who he thinks they might get, or should get. Just a hope, or assumption.

While I'm hopeful they are lining up some answers, imo Skin wasn't very persuasive in what he said about something will happen. It felt like he was being wishful. And a deal MIGHT happen, the Mavs certainly WANT some good wing to be found, so there's that.
