I love the way some of you guys can analyze basketball with facts and figures. I always think that facts and figures get in the way of my basketball fantasy. This might explain why some people call me a gambler, but I analyze by eye and off the cuff.
To wit: while I would like to see John Collins on the Mavs I think who ever ends up with Maxi next year will get a bargain. It seems the covid episode and subsequent nagging injuries have hurt him a lot this year. With a good off season I think Maxi will continue to improve next year. Maxi DOES have room to improve and, I think, the ability to do so.
I also think the Mavs would be better off to consider trading Brunson while they can get something for him. This is just my off the cuff rationalization, but I think Brunson is not happy with his role on the Mavs. What would he look like with a starring, starting role? He probably thinks he would look pretty good...
Ah...KP, KP. When he's on the court he can do some good, sometimes great, things. The problem is...nobody can keep him on the court. When he does play he also messes up the "fit" the rest of the "team" has developed while he was tending an injury. Does KP like playing second fiddle to Luka? Nope.
Since this is the John Collins thread (and I want him!)...I'll stop right here.
