MAVS NEWS:

[OBX Maverick]

Love or hate his past, Kyrie's been a really good Mav.

Bring on CP3.

Who woulda ever thunk it a few years ago?  I know I sure as hell wasn’t expecting this Kyrie. Just goes to show that these players are young, have a lot thrown at them, and that sometimes  they can mature and grow up. He really seems to be in a good place right now.

[SleepingHero]

Starting at $37mm is about what I've been expecting.  I believe we now have enough to use the TX MLE and still have about $1.1mm under A2.

Kyrie has done A LOT for this franchise.

First big name guy since Dirk to willingly take a pay cut for this team.


Kyrie is incredible truly.

@TheSteinLine
The Year 1 salary in Kyrie Irving's new deal, league sources say, will enable Dallas to unlock the $5.7 million taxpayer mid-level exception to pursue a lead guard in free agency to run the team while Irving recovers from a torn ACL.

The Mavs are expected to use the $5.7 million taxpayer midlevel exception to target Dennis Schroder, D'Angelo Russell, Chris Paul and Malcolm Brogdon, per @ShamsCharania

There is now  a clear and clean path to a 15 man roster from here.  Draft Flagg.  Sign someone to the TX MLE and call it a day.

However, this kind of set up is smart business in terms of leverage.  We don't NEED to do anything (as Stein has been saying).  Therefore, if you want something on our roster, you need to give up some value.

This doesn't get us back into the first round.  Martin?

So...Harrison is doing well so far, in your opinion?

Martín or Hardy for a SRP and get Flagg’s teammate, Duke PG Tyrese Proctor?

Great news.  Good by all around.  I don’t know we have enough to get a first round pick.  I would be ok moving a deep bench piece to clear up a spot for a guy like Exum.  Even if he was not an every game option, he would be needed depth when he is healthy.   Also he pushes the pace and I want RJ see more of that.

Yes this buys them time.  If a move presents itself you can do it.  It just concerned me making a big move without seeing Flagg on the court.  How AD and the centers fit.  And how Kyrie looks when he returns.  Our needs could be completely different 6 months or a year from now.

I think Exum, a PG as stated above, and then Hardy and Martin moved for draft capital if possible.

At least in my world.

Tier 1: Chris Paul, D’Angelo Russell 
Tier 2: Brogdon
Tier 3: Dennis Schroder

[Jym]

Kinda wild D'Angelo is only 29
maybe he has a bounceback season in him

[KillerLeft]

Tier 1: Chris Paul, D’Angelo Russell 
Tier 2: Brogdon
Tier 3: Dennis Schroder

I'd put Chris Paul on his own tier at the top, but I 100% agree with your ranking.

[KillerLeft]

Seems like the much maligned Mavs front office is handling their business pretty effectively this summer. Just sayin'.

Give me Paulnif you can get him. He is close to the end so that is concerning. Although I want him for around 22 minutes a night. Let him start. He will allow the game to get started organized. Then you can bring in a backup who pushes the pace. I think that would be ideal. He can also be a smaller minute player when Kyrie returns.

It’s actually so funny you say that because that is what I originally did but decided Russell at his peak would be insane for the value. 


But I actually do agree with you

Tier 1: Chris Paul, D’Angelo Russell 
Tier 2: Brogdon
Tier 3: Dennis Schroder

I concur. I’d add Tyus Jones to my Tier 1. I know his name wasn’t mentioned, and he didn’t fit in PHX, but I think he’d do well here for the role we need.

Not a bad deal for Kyrie. Mavs have some flexibility to make a trade now. More moves incoming.
