Congratulations to Kemba!

Hoping Brown or Tatum make it. Both are right on the edge

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

He's James Harden or LeBron James.
He's an elite play-making floor general who defends wings.

He defends?

 

[jterrell]

He defends?

Yup same way LeBron does and Magic did.

Rumors have been pretty quite this year

Rumors have been pretty quite this year

everyone is trying to grab the same style players so those skillsets are being overvalued.
good 3 and D guys.

Mavs fans are ready to trade everyone but Luka for Robert Covington lol.

An interesting one for the board here was posited on twitter.
What about Mavs trade for Celts Robert Williams.

I dont think they will be looking to deal Time Lord. We would be very thin inside, and Williams has been asserting himself well this year. I think he is viewed as there long term answer at Center. Plus during the playoffs there is a very good chance that Kanter will be unplayable, giving them only Theis and Williams at OC

I think you could see alot of role player movement. With no GS, I think you may see alot of contenders tinkering with their lineups to try to match up well.

I dont think you will see any big name movement

Why is Cuban retiring #24?
Shouldn't he retire #41 first?
I don't remember Kobe playing for Dallas.

 

[Shane612]

Mavericks are getting on my nerves. I don't know what to make of them. Ugh...

They lack the one guy who give them a boost.
Not necessarily a starter, maybe a bench player who can play D and give them 12-16 points consistently....Robert Covington....maybe....

 

[darthseinfeld]

Celtics need consistent scoring off the bench not named Marcus Smart

No one is ever wearing 24 or 41 again in Dallas.
41 will get a ceremony.
24 just got the announcement.

Not sure why fans are crying about this.

RoCo is heinously overrated by Mavs twitter.
He's essentially a lesser DFS. A pure 3 and D guy.
At 29 he is losing some of his athleticism and has never had an offensive game other than spot up 3 pointers.
He turns it over at a higher rate than he gets assists.

I'd take him as a solid 8th guy but not at what it'd cost.
3 and D guys are going to be overpriced the next few windows.

I'd much rather see the Mavs steal a young ex-lotto guy who is buried on a depth chart with major upside.
If they flounder you just move on.

Are the Magic buying into Bamba more? I recall at some point they were considering trading, and I though I read the Mavs had interest

That's a great question but the perfect example of a guy I'd love to buy low on.
Insane upside but will need time in a system and with a skills coach to develop.
Teach him to fill Powell's rim running role but with a better defender and rebounder.
That's essentially what they've done grabbing WCS for nothing.
But Bamba has a better work ethic and attitude if all stories are to be believed.
... and Rick loves work ethic guys.

 

[jterrell]

The guy I have always been beggin for is Marcus Smart.
