Holmes is not in the same category of Collins or Simmons. I did not have serious thoughts on those guys. But Holmes is a distressed asset right now. He is having a down year, and just got pushed to backup center. He is clearly unhappy. A 12 mil unhappy backup center is not an asset. We would basically have dumped KP for two mildly negative assets. It was practically a salary dump. That didn't seem like too much to ask for. Apparently it was (or this FO is terrible, I'm still struggling with which is the right answer). I see him as an offseason target. With the way Maxi's deal is structured it could anchor that trade easily. I'd love to have him.

I just don't see either of the pieces we acquired as having to overcome the same level of negative equity/persistent concerns as KP. We're talking about a player that's missed 40% of his career games and had almost 70 million coming to him over the next two years. I also don’t see Green in the playoff rotation. He’s more of a situational sub. As for Dragic, he would be purely Dinwiddie insurance for this year in the event of an injury. I don’t want Dragic taking Greens regular season minutes and Dragic also has no spot in the playoff rotation.

Totally agree, and Cuban basically stating overtly that he's about to be paying some tax is one of the reasons I'm not as depressed now as I could be. I think he realizes the quickest way out of this mess they've made is to spend their way out.

We really need to do both as well as nail the pick. We need to replace JB's trajectory on a rookie contract.

Rumors leaked it was KP + Pick (let's throw in Boucher for salary matching purposes) and that Dallas wanted "a lot more" and also Toronto "pulled out of the trade". Both Dragic and Boucher are expiring contracts. I'm assuming you could resign one or both and continue to operate over the cap. We also heard that draft compensation from Toronto was a first round pick. That's where I get skeptical unless it was highly, highly protected. Toronto owns all their future firsts and no others. And the reason I'm skeptical is it's also been reported that the Wizards deal was the only one on the table. So would you rather have: To you and me maybe, but this FO has not done much since the Luka draft to garner much trust. Hell I would have done that deal without the first and thrown in the second we gave Wiz.

I don't like the signal and potential ramifications of Dinwiddie. I feel like he may take the ball out of Brunson's hands, which will make him less effective and prolly less interested in staying here. We shall see.

That how the championship team was eventually built. Cuban does not have nearly the options he used to. I'm also skeptical he will actually go into the tax. If this team sinks to 6th or even play-in seed and loses first round playoff badly, is he really going to spend the 18-20 mil NY offers with the tax implications of that when he knows this team has no chance to do anything anytime soon? Unfortunately, we will probably find out. RE: ROSTER TALK: $10.87M TPE | Mavs roster "set", will likely not pursue Dragic - Omega_Supreme - 02-14-2022 (02-14-2022, 05:54 PM)cow Wrote: Jason Garret Jr. > both So assuming you do the Dragic deal and Dragic, Brunson, and Bouche walk then what: You essentially lost KP for nothing right? Who do you sign with that cap space? The Wizards deal was the best deal, they bought a replacement for Hardaway and a possible replacement for Maxi while adding insurance for Brunson. If you consider the flexibility they have now the Wizards deal was the best deal and they still have the ability to add more pieces. I would venture to say that Bertans if his shooting comes back and Dinwiddie are upgrades over Maxi and THJ which makes them expendable.

What do you suppose we do with that cap space? What if Brunson leaves? Your point that the Toronto deal was the better deal makes no sense. I am just challenging your opinion on it because it makes no sense for roster building. They turned KP into assets that can be tradeable or long term pieces while also giving themselves insurance going into the offseason.

In order: -Who's complaining? Discussions aren't complaining. -I wasn't aware expiring contracts couldn't be signed to new deals. -I don't see either trade having much of an impact on Brunson staying or going. All reports say that he's happy to be in Dallas and Mark Cuban is confident he'll resign and he's fine paying the tax. Maybe Mark's willing to spend more if he let's one of the Toronto contract expires, which wouldn't be an option with the Washington contracts. Because, you know, there is more than one type of flexibility. -You are welcome to disagree with me on the better deal and you'd be the expert on not making sense. -They turned KP's bad contract into two smaller, bad contracts. Much like before, you are welcome to prefer one set of players of the others. -I don't think the Toronto deal was there in the first place. Thus the filled in blanks which could be way off base. RE: ROSTER TALK: $10.87M TPE | Mavs roster "set", will likely not pursue Dragic - SleepingHero - 02-14-2022 I really hope Dinwiddie and Bertans show out against Miami. If they put up stinkers we're going to get 964 posts about how the Mavs shoulda chosen a Toronto offer that never was really there. Tuesday can't come soon enough.

That cuts both ways. haha I still remember posts comparing +/- of Maxi and WCS from one half of play.

Not a good look for Nelson at all if true, then Voulgaris (whose nominal responsibilities have nothing to do with drafting) makes the pick without consulting the scouts according to one of The Athletic articles in the summer. You think there’s not some sort of contingency within Nelson’s org to cover if he is unable to make the pick (or throws a temper tantrum, I guess)? Instead a short time analytics contractor in a different department makes the call unassisted without immediately getting fired in the aftermath. That’s exactly the messy structure that is Cuban’s fault. I don’t care who is GM (because responsibilities vary across the league). It feels like it’s been Cuban when he cares, then whomever fills the power void when he doesn’t. But regardless, good management starts from the top so why shouldn’t we hold Cuban most accountable?

I suppose a better way to word is it is " I sure hope Dinwiddie and Bertans show a performance that will be indicative of future performances so that our discussions on said players will allow us to make judgments very quickly (and be as accurate as possible). This is because it is impossible to be wrong on the internet. WE MUST BE CORRECT."

I have been saying Cuban IS to blame. My posts are crystal clear on that. I simply do not think Cuban was the GM (and doing all the things that GMs do). That's all my point is. I have never said at any point that Cuban doesn't bear responsibility. It all happened under him, that is inexcusable. |
