Trade & FA 2024-25:

[Mavs2021]

So Klay Thompson will become the starter or we got another ace up our sleeve?

[Scott41theMavs]

Hope Grimes is ready to be the #1 perimeter defender

So, you're saying that's an area Marshall is poor at?

[LukaMVP]

DJJ apparently demands more than he is worth and some stupid teams want to pay him that money because he looked good playing with luka and Kyrie last season. good luck then

[SleepingHero]

I wonder if the lower contract value (~$4mm less than the MLE) helps with a specific Klay number.

That's the sticking point to me. 

I'm actually reeling right now at DJJ perhaps not coming back...

[Deebo]

Y’all really over rate jones. Few highlight dunks and some 3s. He’s replaceable. I’m good move on get better players.

Mavs used a significant chunk of their MLE to sign Naji Marshall, filling need for perimeter defender.

Derrick Jones Jr.’s decision to switch agents this week complicated hopes of re-signing him due to NBPA guideline of 15-day wait to change representation.

Mavs are pursuing sign-and-trade routes for Klay Thompson.

Maybe DJJ didn't want to be Klay's backup so we got Marshall instead.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

He's ok.  He's not guarding the oppositions best player though.

[LukaMVP]

that's why Thybulle is a target for us now even at the cost of a second round. Thybulle would be an upgrade defensively over DJJ or anyone else on this team by a lightyear tbh.

[Deebo]

Who did jones shut down that y’all acting like he’s defensive player of the year?

[SleepingHero]

Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA)
Derrick Jones Jr. must be available, unless Dallas is getting Naji Marshall via a sign-and-trade. Otherwise, the Mavs will be using the Non-Taxpayer MLE to bring in Marshall.

[SleepingHero]

He stopped SGA pretty damn well.

[Scott41theMavs]

He stopped SGA pretty damn well.

Don't feed the ignoramustroll.

How would we have the room under the apron to bring in Thybulle, unless Klay isn't coming?

[Deebo]

I remember sga cooking us.  Jones jr should not be starter and easily replaced

[SleepingHero]

Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine)
Sources say Dallas remains focused on securing a commitment from Klay Thompson and completing a sign-and-trade that lands Thompson into its looming Tim Hardaway Jr. trade exception. The Mavericks' hope earlier today was that they still had a path to land Thompson and keep Jones.

[BolsDamols]

damn that klay thompson pursuit made us lose DJJ. fuck

will miss Flight 55 - the vertical threat he provides, the defense on the SGAs of the world..i hope grimes and marshall can fill his shoes

[Luka77]

I don't see Marshall worse than DJJ defensively and he may end up being a better shooter.

Bingo.  Seems like jones jr wanted lot more $$

How is that?  Seems like switching agents and possibly looking for the highest bidder may have done it.
