Now we have to trade for another big, if not two.

Gotta go get another big ASAP.

What’s Kenneth Faried up to? When’s his China season over?

He is right. A torn achilles is an easy diagnosis. Probably will have the information in a few hours.

Dang it

Has been confirmed. This really hurts the Mavs. One less trade chip AND we need a big guy.

Worst injury in the NBA. Hurts for Powell too as athleticism is a big part of his game. On the books for 3 more years after this season which looks over for him. JJB is still doing JJB things this year. Powell is a hard worker, hate to see it happen to a guy like him.

Powell was not going to get traded this year anyway. The hard part is that his contract looks terrible if he comes back as a guy with no vertical.

Disabled player exception?

Really sucks but at least this happened before the trade deadline 
Certainly in a recoverable position

Disabled player exception?

Apparently there exists a due date for that which was a week ago per Keith Smith from Yahoo

Ya I was thinking that as well. Would have been worse for the team had it happened post deadline.

Rick will play a crap ton of small ball.

Of course...

We basically already have one with that Barnes TPE. Right around 12 mil of that left to spend in trades if we want

Awful. I just wish him a full and quick recovery.

Just saddening...

[dirkfansince1998]

I want to know if the Mavs had any information on a minor injury prior to the game. He hit the floor untouched two times before the injury.
3rd time he tore his achilles.

[BigDirk41]

This is a awful injury. Praying for a quick and full recovery.

That's horrible. Feel bad for DP and his teammates. What a gut punch.
