MAVS NEWS:

If I were trying to have this level of expiring contracts for outgoing next summer (along with picks), then I’d be focused on Powell, OMax and Martin as the outgoing in any deal now.  We hear a lot about Powell and OMax.  We don’t hear much about Martin.  

But, if you think about it, he’s probably the one most impacted by our lottery luck.  Cooper Flagg pushes him out of the top 10 in the rotation with everyone healthy.  Someone taken around #11 wouldn’t have done that.  Obviously, they didn’t know they were getting Flagg and envisioned a bigger role for Martin than the one that is available.  I just wonder why we don’t hear more from Stein et al about Martin.  Martin + either OMax or Powell would fit into another teams MLE…but how has an MLE and two open roster spots at this point.

Martin shares an annoying habit with Powell. They don't look at the basket when they get the ball. The game is put the ball in the basket. At least pretend to be a threat to shoot the ball. The other team doesn't have to guard players like that. Like to see the Mavs move away from having non-scoring threats.
