RE: MAVS NEWS: DAL has $10.866M TPE | Dragic likely to NOT be bought out - DallasBasketball - 08-10-2021 (08-10-2021, 04:30 AM)Borkhan Wrote: I am from Slovenia, so my knowledge of NBA is slim. But I even if Dragic is a Slovenian, I am not sure he is the best solution. First thing first, Mavs are just waiting for him to be bought out, but who knows if an another team is more interested; they will not wait like mavs? Hi Borkhan, I’ve enjoyed reading your posts. I want to add my thoughts to your discussion. On paper if you look at Mavs roster they have Luka who is obviously a 35 minute player and will play exclusively as PG. Continuing with the ‘on paper’ theme, Brunson is a 25 min per night rotation player that is good enough to situationally start, has shown over 3 seasons to be capable to run the back up PG in the regular season, and could step in and play 30+ minutes in a temporary role if he had to. Further on paper, Trey Burke who is primarily a situational scorer, is also a solid situational point guard. If Brunson went down for some temporary amount of time, Burke would be a reasonable fill in. Lastly on paper is Tyrell Terry. There is not much to be written about him at this point. He’s a development guy, a G-league guy, but if he were called up to fill Trey Burke’s role as a situational scorer and situational back up PG, it might be okay. Now for the bridge test. If any one thing went wrong for a short while, mavs have a plan^, but if two things go wrong, Mavs are up river without a paddle. Is this secondary consideration an emergency? No. But it is a concern. And one I’d imagine they’d address when they get to that bridge. So in summary I think the PG line up is well-planned, it has an initial margin of safety but not a large one, and I see that as a problem that can get resolved in time(not currently an emergency) Lastly, your point about wearing Luka down is a good one. And I think Mavs have to play a delicate balance here. He’s young and developing as a superstar, so his usage should be as high as the player can handle, but consideration should also be made to his longevity and playoff stamina, so there must be some give of usage by Luka to make this work. And Luka must also keep improving his body. He does not yet appear to keep a veteran nba body/conditioning. Once he gets there, we will know even more about his usage. In the end you are right, he needs some help! And Mavs are trying. They were locked onto Dragic and it appears he’s getting away, but I think they have some margin of safety and can take the season to find the solution.

The problem is he is getting older and his production in limited minutes fell off last year. Based on his recent play (and expected future play) he is a vet min at best and probably not worth the roster spot. I think the deal is for the locker room and specifically his relationship with Luka.

I think the deal is for the locker room and specifically his relationship with Luka. Maybe we should compromise to say his production is 1a and leadership 1b. If that’s how they are paying him, his first 2 mil is vet min production, and the 2nd half is his bonus for leadership. ; RE: MAVS NEWS: DAL has $10.866M TPE | Dragic likely to NOT be bought out - fifteenth - 08-10-2021 I don't think Boban is just there because Luka needs some kind of security blanket. Players scattered all over the NBA rave about Boban and say that he's THE BEST teammate in the NBA. I think it might be more accruate to say that one reason Boban was brought back was for the TEAM. He's a 3rd string center who has the superpower of contributing greatly to the health of a lockerroom. He keeps those vibes emaculate.

He looks like a world beater 10% of the time, like he belongs on any team 40% of the time and like he should be out of the league 50% of the time.

Whenever I watch WCS, even the plays he completes successfully it doesn´t look very convincing. Powell is probably the opposite. All the limited stuff he does, he does very convincingly, while with WCS to the naked eye it looks messy. Say he goes up for an offensive rebound, grabs it, takes it down, fumbles it around his legs for a while, somehow gets it up for a lay-up which then dances around the rim for a second before eventually falling in. There are five different moments in the play, where you think it could have gone wrong or he just got lucky.

I guess with S&T its only 5% raises? That should still get them to around 12. Better than MLE by a bit. Maybe enough for him to get out of dodge? He wants to come here, but he also wants to be a starter. Don't think (hope) that would be in the cards for him, so not sure how that would play out. RE: MAVS NEWS: DAL has $10.866M TPE | Dragic likely to NOT be bought out - IamDougieFresh - 08-10-2021 If you guys haven't watched the Luka extension press conference I would highly recommend. Mr. Duffy is in the conference and speaks about Mark, Dallas, Luka, etc. A report tree asks about Dragic. Much much more in there as well. https://youtu.be/h84magAArPs RE: MAVS NEWS: DAL has $10.866M TPE | Dragic likely to NOT be bought out - Hypermav - 08-10-2021 I did, it was good. I clapped for Dirk.

Dragic - Brunson Luka - S Brown THJ - Bullock - Green DFS - Maxi KP - Lauri - WCS - Bobi Two roster spots to fill RE: MAVS NEWS: DAL has $10.866M TPE | Dragic likely to NOT be bought out - ItsGoTime - 08-10-2021 (08-10-2021, 03:54 PM)MaxiThreeba Wrote: So now the Mavs have to figure out how to get the Raptors to take Burke-DP-M Brown for Dragic and then hope Terry and a 2nd is enough of a sweetener for the Bulls and Lauri will take around $11 million to get to play with Luka.Terry and a second is not enough salary to sign LM. Can't use the TPE with another player. That's why Omahen has been saying keeping JRich would have been better than getting a TPE. |
