Feels like we have som new input in the MBT. New rule of the year: If the Mavs add an undersized scoring guard they have to compensate for the lack of defense and sign a wing defender.

I just realized the thing I miss most about having Fish around: You could always count on him to let us know right away when the traditional "we love our boys in blue" quote happened, signaling the end of the off-season.

Mavs are getting tougher. Powell and Boban are a bit on the soft side...are one of them out for a tougher PF/C?

Anyone else find it interesting there has been nothing on a Giannis Supermax yet?

Worst option would be Stein´s draft compensation to be explained later means Terry or Green was part of the Wright trade.
I know the Pistons announced their part of the deal (2nd round pick), but doesn´t mean there couldn´t be more compensation on the Mavs side. Why would Stein need to be so cryptic about a future 2nd round pick for example.

I'm really just all for throwing numbers of cheap fliers at wings and hoping you win a lottery ticket. We see what the demand vs supply is around the league in this market for wings. For a vet minimum flier I guess you can do worse than 25 year old Nigerian wings with 7'1" wingspans. Keep churning that 14th and 15th roster spot looking for them.
Still think we need KP insurance with a stretch big who doesn't clog the paint for Luka.

Ya but then what would be the hold up on that news coming out?

I mean, I never thought he'd sign it until next off season. There's no real incentive to do so. I admit that Stein's speculation that they made the Holiday trade with the knowledge that he was about to sign made sense, so I wavered a bit on that.
Honestly, if they sent 3 firsts and 2 pick swaps out without knowing if he'd sign, and for a player who will ALSO bail if Giannis does...YIKES

What if Mavs can get Bog with Powell + some asset (Brunson or Green)? It would be powder friendly with Powell's money outgoing and open up a roster spot. I know its crazy but its the Kings, we can hope right???111
Actually with Powell it would probably include another piece like Boban to get the salaries close. Something like Powell, Boban, Brunson.

I remember. Good times.
Teague and Thompson as the replacements just makes me laugh at it even more.
Glad I'm not the only one with irrational Celtics hatred. I dunno why, they get under my skin more than even the Lakers. I guess too much Bill Simmons exposure in my life.

I guess it's possible Brunson+Powell could be outgoing for an expiring big, but who/where? Trading those two would put the Mavs within spitting distance of max room for Giannis while still keeping JRich's cap hold in 2021.

This team got a lot younger and more athletic to cover Luka's and KP's defensive blind spots. This team is finally becoming a team with size and length, after HOW many years??

Ya but then what would be the hold up on that news coming out? The draft compensation could be tied to the Mavs negotiating a different trade. If trade for player(s) X goes through, the Thunder will get Josh Green. If not they get 2023 1st, if it falls between 11-30 (mirror to the Knicks) and so on.
Just an example.

They wouldn't call it draft compensation if it was a player who'd already been drafted, come on.

It makes zero sense that the Mavs added another 6'6 wing/guard.
That is, unless they're planning on getting rid of a wing/guard. JRich isn't one. Neither does Johnson make sense. That leaves THJ, Brunson, and DFS....

I assume most teams will have an exception of some sort to absorb Brunson in a separate transaction. Then James Johnson for Bogdanovic/Saric/Ibaka (or any player under contract already) would also be a possibility as the second component of such a more complex trade.

Unless the Mavs finally realized that one can never have enough 3&D wings. I actually like it. Add multiple 3&D guys and see if one of them can earn a bigger role. I obviously thought of different names but if the Mavs think that Iwundu can be that guy that´s great.
