Timmy is so bad that the team would be 10x better if he weren’t on the roster.

Luka is fat. And selfish.

Maxi won’t play 20 games this season because he’s always hurt.

Josh Green has hit his ceiling, but Cuban will probably pay him 4/100. Either that, or he’ll have a breakout season, and they’ll let him walk.

Kyrie’ anti-vax beliefs have significantly diminished his on-court ability. Also, he doesn’t mesh with Luka.

Hardy can’t play defense.

Lively and O-Max can’t play, and were horrible picks.

Nico is completely outmatched in any negotiation, and completely clueless in assembling a roster.

Kidd is the worst coach in the league. And a wife-beater.

Cuban is the worst owner in the league. And really cheap.

50-32.

38-42 wins, if they don´t tank.

Certainly as a starting center. The problem is that the Mavs are no good at getting anyone better.

Not true this year, lol. They need him as the roster stands right now, but they have to get some value out of him at the TDL or next summer. THJ does something Hardy cannot - defend adequately. The main reason he's a roster problem right now is that that "adequate defense" is not enough when he's on the floor with two of Luka, Kai, and Hardy.

Luka is fat. And selfish.

I don't think Luka is selfish, he just needs a coach with the balls and brains to explain to him that heliocentrism is not winning basketball instead of cretinously fueling it.

40.

Josh Green has hit his ceiling, but Cuban will probably pay him 4/100. Either that, or he’ll have a breakout season, and they’ll let him walk.

Omax starting yesterday was about contract negotiation games with Green. This is so touchy. The Mavs don't win this year without Green playing a major role (and having a little bit of ceiling left, knock on wood). Of course, if he plays a major role and helps them win, his contract number goes up. At this point, his agent is probably saying, "4/64 if you want an extension right now, otherwise we test the market next summer." That's too much for Green, but if he doesn't extend, they will probably sandbag him the entire year to prevent another Brunson situation, which will hurt the oncourt product. Mavs gonna Mav.

Kyrie’ anti-vax beliefs have significantly diminished his on-court ability. Also, he doesn’t mesh with Luka.

Heh heh heh, but he already looked extremely disengaged yesterday after all of his "happy to be here" hype this summer. If we had a minimally competent coach, he would work out an offense which develops and maximizes the synergy between these two elite-level offensive players. Instead, we have Kidd, so that won't happen.

Hardy can’t play defense.

Well-said.

Lively and O-Max can’t play, and were horrible picks.

Nah, but both need time and work. OMax's performance yesterday was extremely disappointing, but he's a rookie in his first pre-season game. Still think he's him.

Nico is completely outmatched in any negotiation, and completely clueless in assembling a roster.

With Lindsay on his side, he's fine.

Kidd is the worst coach in the league. And a wife-beater.

Yep.

Cuban is the worst owner in the league. And really cheap.

Yep.

50-32.
