2021 FREE AGENCY: Markkanen wants out of CHI | DAL "definitely interested"

[Mavs2021]

Serious Payton and Malone to LA vibes for that group.

Nash 38 with a bad back.
Payton 35
Malone 40


Westbrook is 32. Davis is 28. Completely different stages of their careers. If this goes horribly wrong, then it has to be 37 year old LeBron completely falling apart.

Also Lakers still won 56 games with the old farts and made it to the NBA finals.

[cow]

Another option: It looks like the Lakers could use a big that can defend in space. Someone like...WCS. They alrady had a lot of success with a big that is known for his lack of focus. A former Mavs player as well.

I actually kind of think they could also use the likes of Jalen Brunson.

Is Shroeder getting squeezed?   I have never been a big fan of his, but that is more of a personal preference.   

I know the Mavs avenues to get players is limited by trade, most likely.  But if you could get Dragic at 19 million for a year or Schroeder at 15 million for multiple years, which one would you want.  All things being equal.

Doesn´t matter what we want. The Mavs want Dragic.

Dragic. Don´t want to nuke the locker room.

I don't really want Dennis.  I'd take him on a one year deal so he could test free agency again.  He seems to be a chemistry killer and wears out his welcome quickly.  From a Luka happiness standpoint, Dragic seems like the better choice even if he isn't the better player.

1:03 is where the Mavs stuff starts

Tim Cato thinks the Mavs do not want to do WCS + Powell for Dragic because Powell is beloved and they like their big man depth… holy shit if true. That’s depressing. Very Jerry Jones like to fall in love with a non-star player and give them too much money.

Let's just hope that is code for Toronto is asking for too much in return to absorb the last year of Powell's contract.

I want Dragic. I know he will come in and not create drama. Schroder the player is GREAT....Schroder the presence in the locker room, yeah not so much.

Entering the season with five centers. Four if Brown is not making the cut. Only KP can shoot. They really know how to build a modern NBA roster. Maybe they are taking the zigging when everyone else is zagging approach to far.

Posturing. Good for them. TOR doesn't have leverage.

"Bald Mamba". Has to be one of the top five nicknames in the NBA.

MacMahon: „I am told the Mavs are not eager to add Dragic with a $19M salary, I don’t see  how it makes sense for the Raptors to buy him out“

I know right! Especially with the season starting tomorrow and all.

KP is hurt a lot so I can understand wanting depth, but geez, there isn't a complete player in that pu pu platter.

-Maxi good defender who can shoot threes.
-Powell bring energy, used to be an elite lob threat.
-WCS can play good defense at times.
-Boban is a good team guy, used to be elite offensively
-Brown is an elite rebounder and can block shots.  Are we keeping him?

Rebounding is still going to be an issue for this team.

MacMahon & Lowe think the Mavs could be done. Okay then. Good night.
