[Mavs2021]

I think the league is past the point where counting stats determine a players trade value. We talked about his defensive short comings. Mentioned the questionable fit on offense and it´s not like those problems are some kind of secret otherwise other teams wouldn´t target him in the pick and roll or switch smaller defenders onto him.

But all of that doesn´t even matter. KP missed the first nine games of the season. Since his return he has missed 13/53. A max player that cannot stay healthy is not a good trade asset.

I agree that the Mavs probably won´t trade KP. There simply is no market and they don´t want to gift him away.

Bingo. They goofed again. As usual. Not even the trade that is the worst part. It´s the extension. Typical lazy Mavs. Sixers put millions of injury protection layers into the Embiid extension. Probably took three weeks to draw it up. Ours took three minutes: Here take my moNey.

Not only give Porzingis the max, but with a 5th year player option. Holyshit. Go figure whether he´ll exercise it. At the minimum they should have said: You get the five year max, BUT the 5th year will be a team option. You don´t like it. Well here is the open market. Bring it.
