I hope it is either for the affiliate or the trade is coming. Signing him instead of even Morris doesn't make a lot of sense, as he is not better than current Mavs centers and they have plenty of centers as it is. Maxi and Holmes haven't looked good in preseason. I can imagine the Mavs scrambling for a different 3rd-string center. Based on counting stats, Bradley is a good rebounder and shot-blocker. Free throw shooting is solid for a big- 68 percent. His advanced stats in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 were actually pretty good. He had a positive total RAPTOR in both years. He is probably just being signed to play on our G-league squad but I think he's worth gambling on. I would also be fine with them waiving Markieff Morris and making Bradley the 15th man. He provides better defense, rebounding and is much younger than Morris. This might be a decent move. RE: MAVS NEWS: Pablo Laso in line to replace Kidd...?

How many teams can't (refuse to) name two of their starters a week before the season start? And if there are any, they are certainly not trying to compete. If Kidd actually knows who the starters will be, this is just a silly mind game he is playing. I don't see any benefit for anyone doing this. Amazing b’ball IQ in game as a player. Every time I hear the guy speak though I think Vicodin addiction. He just sounds so dumb and reaction time’s so slow. But yes, it’s got to be stupid mind games.

I can imagine the Mavs scrambling for a different 3rd-string center. The only issue is the Mavs don't have the spot. I agree the move on paper looks promising, but unless Dan is right and there is a 2 for 1 type of trade incoming, I think Bradley is going to be waived before the season starts. This front office appears to like to bring in as many guys as they can for workouts throughout the year so they have a good grasp on who they like. From my memory they've brought in Isiah Thomas, Dion Waiters, Brandon Knight, Lance Stepehenson, and Monta Ellis. Bradley probably signed an Exhibit 10 deal so he gets a bonus if he sticks with the Legends for 2 months. Quote:First introduced in the 2017 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), an Exhibit 10 contract is a mechanism for teams to bring in players to compete in training camp. They function as one-year minimum contracts, but most of the contract is non-guaranteed. Their purpose is to allow teams to bring in a few players to compete in training camp for a final roster spot or a team’s G League affiliate. RE: MAVS NEWS: Pablo Laso in line to replace Kidd...?

Stop-and-go was more what I needed than vertical, athleticism.” RE: MAVS NEWS: Pablo Laso in line to replace Kidd...?

This is the most apathetic I've been to a Mavs season since I can remember. We're a .500 team at best with a nutty and terrible coach and a big talent drop off after 1 and 2. Not me. I am actually pretty positive and sort of excited. I was actually much more down entering last season....although I did not expect the season to be so awful. The first 3 preseason games this year were rough though. I think this is the year to set the table for the future. My vision is a year from now (maybe with another trade to upgrade the roster) the national media starts saying "Wow, how did Dallas add all this young talent". This year is for development and setting the future. Hopefully that also includes good basketball where Luka and Kyrie show they are stars who impact winning and the coaching and front office show they are a competent run organization. There will be bumpy parts of the season and most of the teams in the West look good/great. But Dallas finally invested in guys who fit better and are young. Most also appear to be the right kind of guys to build around your stars. RE: MAVS NEWS: Pablo Laso in line to replace Kidd...?

If Kidd actually knows who the starters will be, this is just a silly mind game he is playing. I don't see any benefit for anyone doing this. What he says in the media doesn't really bother me. But I agree the communication part inside the team is what worries me. I understand wanting the players compete and win roles, but the communication is so important. Hardaway should have had a clear understanding of the role we envisioned for him entering camp. Not saying he could play himself into a better role or out of that role to a lesser one. But the communication should have been clear imo. I was never a Christian Wood fan. There was a 10 game spurt in December where I thought he played really well and I liked what I saw. I wasn't a fan of much else. But that got off to the wrong start from the beginning. If the Mavs saw him as a Bobby Portis role, that should have been clear from the start. Again, maybe he plays himself into a better role, but it appears that conversation never happened when camp opened up last year. The Josh Green thing is confusing. I actually think right now in his development he is best off the bench (only 22 and can certainly continue to get better). He is the best player on the roster currently to start the game. Until they find an option who is better, Josh should start. Lets see if he takes the opportunity and runs with it. RE: MAVS NEWS: Pablo Laso in line to replace Kidd...?

Shooting and being able to be productive without the ball will be key. Maybe a Royce O’Neal type player if he can hit open shots. Sort of weird he played 5 years in college and his points per game was pretty consistent his whole career (just under 10). You would think a guy who produces quickly as a freshman would see his stats go up after his freshman year. Greg Brown is just a gamble on a former top 10 recruit and crazy athlete that he can learn how to play the nba game. Still only 22. Solid gamble as well. Probably a longer shot than Dennis though.

With the 3 being the big question mark. I have no idea what the successful Greg Brown looks like. I was surprised to see when we signed him that he is only 6'7. I thought he as like 6'10. Just looking at his shot, I don't think he will ever be a strong perimeter player. I was thinking small ball 5 type of player, but I am not sure if that is possible at 6'7. It is crazy how talented you need to be even to be a fringe NBA player. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4jYtp3Y7vM&t=146s RE: MAVS NEWS: Pablo Laso in line to replace Kidd...?

Below is Sam Quinn's evaluation of Green (CBS Sports). It is part of his evaluation of the entire draft class. Green fits in what he calls the "Bet on Yourself Candidates". The Keldon Johnson contract he references was 4/$74mm. It started at $20mm and declined with an average of $18.5mm. "There is an open competition for the starting shoot guard slot in Dallas. The metrics suggest Josh Green deserves it, but Jason Kidd's trust in him waxed and waned last season. That should suit Green just fine. He has the Mavericks over a barrel, in a sense. If he plays well, they'd have no means of replacing him as a free agent next summer. Even if Kidd yanks his minutes around, he's put more than enough on tape already to warrant a starter-level offer sheet in restricted free agency. If Dallas wants to lock him up, it would likely need to approach that Keldon Johnson number. Ask Jalen Brunson how comfortable the Mavericks are making big upside bets like that. In all likelihood, their offer underwhelms and Green punishes them for their hesitance during the season." |
