DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[Hypermav]

Well, Detroit has been entertaining.

CHA did draft 2 centers

Second rounders

Mavs need a PF.

That he's a starting 4 for a contending team.  Though I guess Utah has proven me wrong on that, but they have a long background with Favors and they have one of the worst 4 situations of any contending team.

Depends on the starting 5 which makes him going back to Utah all the more strange.

Than he sees what Plumlee gets

I wish there was a way to rent an NBA front office executive for like 30 minutes and have him break down the disparity of how NBA Front Offices think vs. how fans think about players like Favors.

I think it is different from team to team. Teams like the Jazz, Pistons or Pelicans still value more traditional bigs whereas others won´t touch a big that cannot shoot.
Despite the Boban signing last year the Mavs are probably part of the 2nd category. Listening to RC or Donnie in the last few weeks it is all about shooting.
Cannot say that I disagree. Last seasons offensive rating speaks for itself.

Here's the deleted tweet.

Did I read that Dragic and Leonard have no trade clauses?

That Leonard signing is pretty weird if true.

Curious. What would you expect to be the answer? I don´t think there would be much of a disparity to be honest.

That fans think he's a starting 4 for a contending team and NBA front offices dont.  Though I guess Utah has just proven me wrong on that, but they have a long background with Favors and they have one of the worst 4 situations of any contending team.

Ok, I see your point. I expected to be your answer to be that fans underestimate the intangibles and the rebounding + defense, that Favors provides. I think most fans are smart enough to see that Favors isn´t a starting PF next to a guy like Gobert. Absoult horrible fit, I agree.

Was reported by a good source for the Heat...

For discussion's sake, please name five big men you like, regardless of contract situation, as they are as players in 2020.

I don't dislike Favors and was pleasantly surprised by his rebounding this past season. That contract is too rich for my blood.

I do think it's clear that the Mavs need another big, especially if your friend WCS is gone. KP out to start the season, Bobi barely playable... And I understand the argument that "Oh, the Mavs need to rebuild Powell's value," but no they don't, not if they want to win games. He's a guy whose game is 90% predicated on athleticism who just had the most athleticism-wrecking injury in pro sports. His $11 mil is, pretty darn close to objectively, dead money, like the detritus of a stretch waive. So Maxi is currently our starting center to open the season, with no reliable backup. The Mavs will need to be focused on not getting buried standings-wise while waiting for KP's return. That means they need to have some big or another who can provide high quality minutes. Even in the current market, you're going to pay for that.

I think they need two guys that can play 4/5 right now. Favor's isn't a bad an option but not for that money or contract length. I'd rather go the scrap heap for guys your friend WCS. There are a ton of options out there, no need to panic.

Harry Giles is an intriguing name.

I know you're a big Millsap fan - I guess I'm not sure why he's more worthy of the MLE than Favors.

Could be nothing. But...

Ah, yes, the guy we should have received in return for another Harry.

[DallasMaverick]

Harry Giles is an intriguing name.

Super-bad RAPTOR.  -2.3 offense, -3.4 defense.

Why is this board and Mavs Twitter obsessed with Wood?

[Aussiebballer]

Haven’t watched many Pistons games in the last decade

For those that have would a Zion and Wood front court work well?
