RE: MAVS NEWS: Green's XRays Clean | Kyrie Hopes to Play for USA - Smitty - 03-22-2024 (03-22-2024, 07:43 AM)F Gump Wrote: Taking things one step further, I don't accept the premise that the Mavs default position for this summer is being under the probable $171.4-ish M tax line. Even without DJJ and Hardy, their salary total is already sitting at that tax line with only 12 players (and having a roster with less than 14 is generally not permitted). And keeping Hardy is a no-brainer anyhow. I agree with all of this. As for your THJ trade options…I had a random thought last night that maybe Nico tries the SnT route with Paul George. He doesn’t fit the age timeline and has a long injury history but it feels like a Nico move. Does a package of THJ+Green+Maxi+Pick make sense for everyone? KAI - Exum Luka - Hardy PG13 - DJJ PJW - Omax Lively - Gafford RE: MAVS NEWS: Green's XRays Clean | Kyrie Hopes to Play for USA - StrandedOnBeauboisHill - 03-22-2024 (03-22-2024, 09:52 AM)Smitty Wrote: I agree with all of this.

I feel like a lot of things have low key pointing to this potentially happening. The quotes from Kyrie when he resigned about players “who will be available in a year or two” and if Clippers were going to give PG what he wants it would be done by now. RE: MAVS NEWS: Green's XRays Clean | Kyrie Hopes to Play for USA - Smitty - 03-22-2024 “Pelicans' Brandon Ingram has suffered a bone contusion in his left knee. Fortunate diagnosis for New Orleans and its star forward avoiding serious injury, but Ingram is expected to miss at least two weeks.” #4 LAC 43-25 - #5 NOP 42-27 1.5GB #6 DAL 41-29 3GB #7 PHX 41-29 3GB #8 SAC 40-29 3.5GB Pelicans Schedule. #9 SOS .522 @ MIA @ DET vs OKC vs MIL vs BOS vs PHX vs ORL vs SAS @ PHX @ POR @ SAC @ GSW (b2b) @ LAL Mavs Schedule. #22 SOS .422 @ UTAH @ SAC (b2b) @ SAC @ HOU @ GSW vs ATL vs GSW (b2b) vs HOU @ CHA @ MIA (b2b) vs DET @ OKC Suns Schedule. #2 SOS .574 @ SAS @ SAS @ DEN @ OKC @ NOP vs CLE vs MIN vs NOP vs LAC @ LAC (b2b) @ SAC @ MIN Kings Schedule. #3 SOS .562 @ ORL vs PHI vs DAL (b2b) vs DAL vs UTAH vs LAC @ NYK @ BOS (b2b) @ BKN @ OKC vs NOP vs PHX (b2b) vs POR This finish is going to be fascinating to watch. Can the Mavs get to 5? The Pelicans without Ingram for at least two weeks makes it seem plausible. Do we even want the Mavs to jump up to 5? That probably sets up a first round matchup with the Clippers and if you’re fortunate to win that series you probably get the defending champs in round 2. There’s certainly no easy road in the West but my ideal scenario is still Denver finishing 1 and Dallas 6, keeping them on the OKC/MIN side of the bracket. But a run of LAC - DEN - OKC - BOS championship would rival the 2011 one as the greatest ever.

Is out until at least April 2nd. So games with DAL will be without a key SAC player. Is one of the SAC games a makeup from earlier this year?

There is no twist of the ankle. Barely any contact really. PJ literally steps on DJJ's foot at a slight downward angle for maybe a split second and instantly comes up limping. I fear a broken toe/foot based on how instant that pain was. Even on the bench where the trainer was pressing down, it was around the mid foot area, not ankle. I know we didn’t get an update today but for what it’s worth PJ just showed up to the Mavs ball without a boot or anything like that which I take as a good sign.

They both won with bids of $77,000 each to benefit #Mavs charities. #MFFL https://twitter.com/DorothyJGentry/status/1771363771858255878 RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs Ball 2024! - SleepingHero - 03-23-2024 RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs Ball 2024! - Chicagojk - 03-23-2024 Ok I must admit I have a center fetish. I certainly understand there may be some teams where we get exposed a little bit, but I find myself the next day after a game of watching the highlights of both Lively and Gafford on YouTube. I haven’t been doing that with anyone else. Just seeing dunk after dunk out a smile on my face. Amazing that in the past we had one guy who would occasionally make impressive dunks. It is way early, but just imagine if Hardy becomes a player and if Omax figures it out. If so, Nico is quietly cooking despite some moves that I have disagreed with.

DJJ and PJ make dunks too. RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs Ball 2024! - bodhisattva - 03-23-2024 At this point we are just waiting for Luka dunk. They have a sense of greatness about them at the moment. Lively could still turn into Ayton in future years, but the way they are built (with tweaks) if feels like 2026,27,28,29, Mavs could be a dynasty, rivaling Wemby and Spurs. I trust Gm a little more after this year.I am not sure about Kidd. Mavs need more team basketball. They should be around 55 win next year. Hope for the best.

A), the Mavs ended up with Jason Kidd, and B), who knew he would get Orlando playing such good defense so quickly? RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs Ball 2024! - Scott41theMavs - 03-23-2024 Aaaand just like that, without playing a game themselves, the Mavs are back down to 8th in the West. These next three games are very crucial to their postseason fate, especially since the chances of losing at least one of the Houston games appear to be extremely high.

Just one more follow up on this is Kidd said Josh is currently the only player on the injury report (and is out of the boot). Good news for PJ. RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs Ball 2024! - Mavs2021 - 03-24-2024 Damn the Ignite went 2-30, despite John Jenkins shooting nearly 50/50/100 for the season. That dude must have the worst agent or behaviour in the world that he can´t land any decent contracts longevity anywhere (NBA, Europe, China, Australia) with his shooting ability. Yeah I know he´s sh*t on defense, but nobody can be too sh*tty for defense in China and he lasted four weeks there. RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs Ball 2024! - Winter - 03-24-2024 (03-24-2024, 12:05 PM)SleepingHero Wrote: https://x.com/TexasLegends/status/1771745782477082916?s=20 I have always felt that Omax's time in the G league was exactly what he needed. I don't think any rookie player is served well by being thrown into playing time in a way that looks like team desperation. The Mavs don't need a struggling rookie in the rotation. We got lucky with Lively because we truly had a serious need at the position. That wasn't necessary for Omax. We can afford to let Omax grow and he'll get a lot more playing time where he is. I think it's the best situation for him. I suspect he'll be ready with one more training camp under his belt. |
