RE: MAVS NEWS: GW out of shape | Holmes unhappy w/role - Mavs2021 - 01-20-2024
(01-19-2024, 03:25 PM)F Gump Wrote: Jalen Johnson was my oft-mentioned target this past summer, not Dan's. I was the first, and the most persistent -- early on, I included him coming to DAL in trades, and if someone else's idea with ATL didn't include him, I suggested a way to do the trade with him. I thought he had showed high potential in limited minutes, but I didn't see evidence he was particularly prized by ATL. At the time it appeared he was buried on their depth chart behind Collins, and in a mix of lots of backup wings/forwards buried behind Collins and Hunter that they didn't have the minutes for.
Once Collins was sent to UT, that changed their whole mix in ATL. And since his added minutes gave him a chance to bloom, obviously he's not available now. I was hoping to see that blooming happen in DAL. Rats.
Well since we are measuring Johnsons.
You were 2nd, but not bad. https://www.mavsboard.com/showthread.php?tid=2173&pid=180127&highlight=Jalen+johnson#pid180127
Also made an even earlier post about Johnson and Goga in Dec. 2022.
RE: MAVS NEWS: NBA suspends Mavs vs. GSW on Friday - Chicagojk - 01-20-2024
Some good Mavs talk on the 1/16 Lowe post. Talk comes after they talk Jazz.

Dallas Mavericks rookie forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper on being a defensive anchor one day for the Mavs:
“That’s what I want to be [a defensive anchor]. I want that challenge. I want to guard the best players in the world…I believe I will be that for the Mavs.”
Great video of Omax with some answers that warm your heart.

Good thing I forbade them from trading him! Is anyone ever going to thank me for that, btw??

Grant Williams says “this team practices more than any team I’ve been on.”
Pretty much, Williams said Dallas practices more than Boston.
Grant Afseth (@GrantAfseth)
Dante Exum (right plantar sprain) has been upgraded to doubtful and went through his first full practice today.
Grant Afseth (@GrantAfseth)
Seth Curry (left ankle sprain) is questionable to play against the Boston Celtics. He suffered the injury in practice today.

I wonder if there's correlation between more frequent practices and higher number of injuries...

Mavs F Grant Williams told me today after practice he’s down 18-20 pounds since the start of the season and that his ideal playing weight is 245; he’s put in the work & looks in great shape now #MFFL
Noah Weber (@noahweber00)
Grant Williams on Josh Green and his impact as a defender:
“When Josh [Green] picks up full court and guards Jalen Brunson in that game. No one would really see that, and how much Jalen was pissed in that game…Josh sets the tone when he starts.”
Noah Weber (@noahweber00)
Grant Williams when asked about his personal review of the first half of his season with Dallas:
“Not good…Just because the first half didn’t go the way I wanted doesn’t mean the second half won’t.”

I wonder why there isn‘t a correlation between more practices and better play when it counts with our guys…
Seriously, I hope this unplanned break with almost all guys on deck helps to improve our performance.
RE: MAVS NEWS: Irving Sprains Right Thumb - SleepingHero - 01-22-2024
Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon)
Kyrie Irving says he sprained his right thumb early in the loss to the Celtics. X-rays were negative. He’s wearing a brace on it but doesn’t anticipate missing time. Irving: “It's going to hurt. I don't think there's anybody in the NBA that's 100% night to night.”

Good to know Iztok shares my anti Kuz thoughts from a defensive perspective.
RE: MAVS NEWS: Irving Sprains Right Thumb - DallasMaverick - 01-23-2024
Miles Bridges:
From a basketball standpoint, fits well on both offense and defense.
https://www.nbadraft.net/players/miles-bridges/
From a cost standpoint, relatively cheap because of off-court issues and expiring contract.
Charlotte wants draft picks and prospects.
At age 25, his timeline fits with Luka.
A new city, a new start would probably be good for him.
Fans get all bothered by a players' moral failures at first, but tend to forget quickly if the player performs well.
After all, we're paying him to perform on the court, right?
See: Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Ray Rice, Kobe Bryant.
Straight up: Josh Green for Miles Bridges? Gives Charlotte a cost-controlled young player. Gives Dallas a stud-like young wing with some flight risk.

Its more than a flight risk. We couldn't pay Bridges anything more than the partial MLE we have remaining at about 4 mil a year?
He's 100% leaving this offseason. The only realistic acquisition of him would be a SnT in the summer.

Timeline does not matter because you don't get his bird rights, so there is even less reason to talk about this.
RE: MAVS NEWS: Irving Sprains Right Thumb - omahen - 01-23-2024
If Mavs want Miles Bridges, promise Charlotte to pay more in SnT than Suns can offer now
If Charlotte is not willing to resign him, they might actually get more in SnT. Of course they also risk he just walks
