Post: RE: Are you satisfied with the offseason (so far)

I think this is the first offseason that I remember that the Mavs actually targeted players who weren't pipe dreams and went after them without sacrificing a ton to get them. That is smart GMing and ...

Post: RE: Woj: Mavs sign Seth Curry for 2 years

Seth is like the poor battered woman that just keeps going right back to her husband. I'm sure at his press conference Seth will say: "I tripped and fell." Or the ""He didn't mean to do it."

I think Ayton is pretty much a dinosaur now.  He has no post game.  And he cannot shoot.  He is decent at pick and roll, and he can defend somewhat. But he can be played off the floor because he ca...

Maxi is just too inconsistent for a long term role.  He has a decent skill set but whether it be injury or wild slumps....  he is just hard to count on when the going gets tough.
