Tim MacMahon said the Brogdon and his agents really wanted him come to Dallas when he was hitting free agency a few years back. Problem was the Mavs were scared off with Brogdon's medicals.
Mavs are desperate but I don't think they're that desperate to roll the dice on him now. Not sure Mavs have the assets anyways.
Also, Marc Stein said the Mavs aren't looking at any guards; hoping to add more wings and frontcourt depth (just got McGee).

And that may be true now.
On the other hand, he a had a particular foot problem then that worried a lot of teams. I'm not sure that's really the issue now.

This needs to be on the forefront of our minds as we speculate.

Need another team for Buddy then, no? THJ and he seem highly redundant.

I totally agree...unless Hardaway ends up outgoing. I don't expect that to happen, and I trust Stein's info. But if Hardaway is outgoing to make some money work, there had absolutely better be a starting off-guard coming back.

Good point.
I'm guessing we are barking up the wrong tree here, but it's not like we have a lot to work with. The Pacers are just an easy team to imagine in play.

THJ + Powell for McConnell + Hield

Not sure if this has been posted already but I thought it was pretty relevant to Cuban and his possible financial exposure in all of this...

Dallas Mavericks affiliated crypto exchange Voyager Digital is in deep trouble. I wonder how much Cuban has invested in them personally.

I've always been one of the biggest Brogdon advocates here and now the need is clear with Brunson gone. Obviously he has health concerns, but if we have Dinwiddie and Dragic that's a good amount of insurance.

Just means the things cooking are waiting on KD or something else.

The situation is definitely a lot more precarious than many people realize. Losing Brunson is such a massive blow. Our only real opportunity for upside on this current roster is the hope that Wood plays at an all star level next to Luka and that Hardy turns out to be a Brunson or Tyrese Maxey level prospect. Everyone else are nice role players but more or less at their peak and all are at best properly paid (DFS/Bullock/Maxi), somewhat overpaid (Dinwiddie/THJ) or at worst wildly overpaid (Bertans). Wood and Hardy are the only ones we can really hope will significantly outplay their contract unless you think Green or Ntilikina are set to break out. Combine that with limited draft capital and no real projected cap space until like 2024, when Luka will be entering into his 7th year, it's looking kind of bleak.

Sorry Caplin,
But after seeing the Mavs wheel and deal today….. in the words of Johnny Depp…. “I think I will sleep on the couch.”

Totally disagree.
This team was close to a 50 win team when Brunson was a benchwarmer, THJ was the starting 2 guard, and KP was in and out of the lineup.
If we take today's Mavs and compare them to 2 seasons ago we got:
Luka/Dinwiddie/Frank Luka/Brunson/Burke
Bullock/THJ THJ/Richardson/Reddick
DFS/Green DFS/Green
Wood/Maxi/Bertans KP/Maxi/Melli
McGee/Powell Powell/WCS/Boban
To me there are already CLEAR upgrades from that team that posted a 47 win pace despite the fact KP played in almost half the games. The wing rotation has filled out. Wood should be a more reliable KP without attitude issues (I'm praying at least). McGee is a solid 10mpg guy but Maxi is the real star of the show. AND the Mavs still have Dinwiddie who proved to be a valuable 6th man. Probably most important though is that the team has a coach that the players are happy to play for.
Looking at our current roster getting another wing and Dragic should solidify it.
RE: MAVS NEWS: Dragic to DAL? | interest in Thybulle? McGee? | SnT for JB? - Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo - 07-02-2022
The Mavs should be fine.
The saving grace for this season should be Wood. IF Wood keeps his head straight and actually works on his game, specially on the defensive end, his impact will be enormous. Sure that's a big IF, but it's not too far off from reality. Luka hasn't played with a big like Wood before. Dirk was on his last legs, and KP doesn't have the speed and agility of Wood. And unlike KP, Wood can actually punish smaller guys and he doesn't need someone to set him up to do so.
I do not underestimate what Wood can do. He'd be a difference maker.
Of course the ideal scenario would be to have JB around. But I'm optimistic a focused Christian Wood can help the Mavs win 50 games.
And as much as the Mavs say they still need a wing, I hope they get another ballhandling playmaker. If not Dragic, they just need another guard who can create for himself and others. Doesn't have to be a PG, just someone who can score on his own, go where he wants to, and pass decently.
