Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In isolation this move is excellent, but if the end game is throwing all that money at Lowry it´s meh. I really hope the Pelicans, Sixers or Heat beat us to his signature, so we can go after other targets.

calm down Hollinger

In isolation this move is excellent, but if the end game is throwing all that money at Lowry it´s meh. I really hope the Pelicans, Sixers or Heat beat us to his signature, so we can miss out on all of the other targets that will have already signed and end up with relatively nothing just like in 2019 and 2020.

FIFY.

My prediction is Lowry is a smokescreen. No way Nico is dumber than Donnie!!!

I hope that both Lowry and THJ are smokescreens - but that's too much to hope for. 

I don't hope that the Mavs get Lowry in a vacuum. It's that I don't think anyone else wants to come here, and because Cuban's dumb as dirt and loves our boys in blue, he's prioritizing THJ over the one other guy who wants to come here - Norman Powell. I'll have a Brogdon meltdown when NP goes off the board Monday night.

I don't know why you think Norman Powell wants to come here. He's going to get PAID by Portland because they have no choice.

If winning matters as much to him as the bag, he'll go somewhere else that has better prospects for the same money rather than betting on Dame's future happiness. NP isn't getting maxed. The salary the Blazers offer him will likely be "easily" matched.

Lowry is a smokescreen

I have been clinging long and hard to this belief. May it be.

Last time I checked, Mark Cuban still owns the team.

[ItsGoTime]

Mavs just need to raise the price on all FAs. Raise the price on Lowry, raise the price on Collins, on Ball, on Conley, Powell and Dinwiddie. They can then swoop in and get Graham/Holmes/Batum with few competing offers!

Unlike Norman Powell, Collins is a dream. All rumors say that his retention by the Hawks is a done deal. If nothing else, that indicates they would match any and all offer sheets. Let him go, man. It's over.

It's possible he might be but I still think secondary playmaker is their priority based on Cuban's comments.  Not a lot of options out there.

Also...if they do indeed pursue Lowry, I think it almost/pretty much confirms Mark is still running things.  Nico is just here for his connections.

Still clinging to the playmaker with size statements from a few weeks ago. That´s not 6´0 (more likely 5´10) Lowry.

Good call......




.....bad part is DeRozan is a "playmaker with size"....

Fournier is like 6'7", can go to spots on the floor he wants, score on his own.

Not the playmaker Derozan is, but has decent court vision and passing skills.

And shoot the 3 ball.

So here's the Mavs secondary option after Lowry.
