One thing to consider. Up to now, Mavs were always the underdogs in every series they played in the playoffs in the Luka era. First time they are considered as favorites, especially with Kawhi out in ...

If we play defense like that with Luka, we can go very far. Best Mavs defensive team since 2011. Now remember this was not only without Luka, but Lively and Green, too.

I would actually prefer for a center like Lively to learn how to play with his back towards the basket while keeping his ability to move the feet on defense. This would prevent opponents to put a wing...

It is nice to have three choices at the five to go with the four mentioned below.  Having multi-position bench players (Maxi 5/4, DJJ 4/3, THJ 3/2 and Exum 3/2/1) gives us tons of optionality.   I ...

I think it's THJ. If he can find a way to be effective in a reduced role the Mavs could keep him around next year. If not, this may be the offseason they dump him for a 2nd round pick (assuming they c...

For me it is Kidd. He has a championship roster now imho. Other than that I don´t know if THJ has anything to lose, but he´s probably the last trade piece puzzle, where you can probably swing for a di...

I am more or less with Scott on this one. Trade THJ for either a starting level guard or another rotation guard. Defender that can do stuff offensively. THJ will be 32 soon and his role will be reduce...

What a great thread. I am not sure about my answer, so I’m going to think about it. I do like Gump’s answer, because I am on the fence about Jason Kidd still.

The roster is good. It’s all on Kidd. A playoff miss and he’s gone.

I agree with Mr. Gump that it is Coach Kidd. He's been mailing it in and blaming the roster for the awful team defense since the bubble run, now he has all the tools he asked for. BUUUUT it's go...
