RE: ROSTER TALK: Trade/FA Ideas (Mar 25 TDL) + Salary Chart - SleepingHero - 12-29-2020 (12-29-2020, 04:48 PM)Scott41theMavs Wrote: Unless you're thinking like SBJ is, and see JRich (guards the point guards) and Hield as the guards and Luka as the defensive three. I do see it this way. Effectively Luka guards 3s and 4s on defense, basically making him our SF/PF, but is the PG on offense. Richardson would be an off ball spot up shooter and secondary playmaker, while Hield would constantly be spotting up in the corners or top the key. (12-29-2020, 04:48 PM)Scott41theMavs Wrote: But it would also require that Luka become, by this season or next at the absolute latest, a plus defender, because Hield never will be, and there's no prayer of contending with two minus defenders in the starting lineup. But aren't we at that point already with THJ? THJ is not a plus defender whatsoever. Between them they're a push on all defensive stats. Hield though brings an offensive skill that is akin to adding a Stephen Curry type shooter to your offense. You don't think that's transformative enough to at least tolerate middling defense? Plus, I think with Richardson, KP, and I assume either Maxi or Dorian, the Mavs will still have 3 plus defenders on the court at all times. And in any case, once you show-out Hield (because I don't see how this kind of shooter doesn't show out playing next to Luka), he can be used as trade bait for whatever you need later down the line. A perfect buy low sell high candidate if I've ever seen one. RE: ROSTER TALK: Trade/FA Ideas (Mar 25 TDL) + Salary Chart - SleepingHero - 12-29-2020 (12-29-2020, 03:50 PM)Scott41theMavs Wrote: Yeah, and who on the Mavs would GSW want? Also with the GSW and Draymond trade rumors, I can see the Warriors making a push for Harden, and Houston rejecting Green. Mavs could act as a 3rd team to take on Green and facilitate the necessary young pieces like say Terry or Brunson. HOU: Wiseman+Paschall+Powell+Oubre+ Whatever picks the Warriors have left GSW: Tucker+Harden Mavs: Green+2nd round pick for helping facilitate this and stopping Houston from having to accept the Wiggins contract. RE: ROSTER TALK: Trade/FA Ideas (Mar 25 TDL) + Salary Chart - omahen - 12-29-2020 (12-29-2020, 05:00 PM)SleepingHero Wrote: HOU: Wiseman+Paschall+Powell+Oubre+ Whatever picks the Warriors have left I think BKN package (if it is on the table) is extremely better than this. Terry has almost zero value and Brunson is a back up PG. I also don't see why Houston would prefer to take Powell over Green. If Houston wants more development projects GSW has Poole and Smailagic.

All valid critiques. I think Philly or Portland has the best offer of all of them. Heck if Boston wants to replace Brown then that's another stronger package. This only happens if Harden wants to go to GSW and Houston really likes what they see in Wiseman.

Can he guard on perimeter? I saw him in preseason and he looked lost in Chicago, just like everyone else thereHis comparable from the scouting reports was Horford. Probably not a great perimeter defender, but he's a good post defender and big body to take on those other bigger bodies in the NBA. Great rebounder and outstanding offensive rebounder with a 7'3" wingspan and 9' reach. Checks a lot of boxes we don't have on this team right now. Not sure Chi is a good team to trust as far as how players are developing there, but true, can't fully write off his stint there.

We have our starting big and plenty of back-ups. I am looking at a more wing option at PF spot. RE: ROSTER TALK: Trade/FA Ideas (Mar 25 TDL) + Salary Chart - cow - 12-29-2020 Two years ago I loved the idea of Draymond here, but I'm just not sure if he has anything left in the tank. I will say that like Griffin, it feels like a very MBT type of move. 20-21 (30) 22M 21-22 (31) 24M 22-23 (32) 25M 23-24 (33) 27M PO Salary relief is about all I'd be willing to offer. Luka + KP + JRich + Draymond for the next 4 years?

RE: ROSTER TALK: Trade/FA Ideas (Mar 25 TDL) + Salary Chart - david75090 - 12-29-2020 Is Rick grooming, or toying with grooming, Johnson as Luka's point-forward backup? Luka's going to handle the ball but his rebounding is crucial right now. When he's on the bench replacing him with a guy who's a small PG hurts on the boards. Johnson's not a Luka-quality ball-handler but he does stop the ball domination by Jalen that stifles the offense, from my viewpoint.

His numbers since 15-16 are mostly troubling. Rebounding is in a decline, Points fluctuate but are in a decline. His steal numbers are consistent. Blocks are down. Assists are down but still very good. 3PT % is down, 2PT% is up. Minutes are down but he still played 32-32-31 the last three seasons. He's an expensive tire to kick and I'm sure GSW is looking for more than cap relief. If they sent 2M back to us, Powell + THJ works.

Wiggins, Oubre and THJ on one team. What's the opposite of Splash Brothers? Trash Brothers? THJ + Powell + Brunson works for Looney + Green RE: ROSTER TALK: Trade/FA Ideas (Mar 25 TDL) + Salary Chart - KillerLeft - 12-29-2020 (12-29-2020, 07:13 PM)cow Wrote: Wiggins, Oubre and THJ on one team. What's the opposite of Splash Brothers? Trash Brothers? Lol! My thinking is that THJ is likely to be one of the best shooters getting shopped around this year, and they’ll need shooting more than anyone if they really want to go for it. Then again, if they’re good enough to hope THJ moves the needle, they’re probably not in a place where they’ll decide to move Green. PS: man oh man, am I glad Oubre didn’t end up here. I still think the Mavs’ rumored interest in that CP3 deal was about Rubio, but either way, I consider Oubre a bullet dodged!

Johnson's not a Luka-quality ball-handler but he does stop the ball domination by Jalen that stifles the offense, from my viewpoint. I watched Johnson more a couple of seasons ago (I think it was a season before Luka was drafted) in Miami. He was playing point forward at that time. It was actualy quite strange because Dragic as a nominal PG was standing in the corner most of the time while Johnson, Winslow and Richardson were trying to create. Johnson had most success and averaged 3,8 assists (Dragic was at 4,8 as team leader). Of course he was much younger and faster RE: ROSTER TALK: Trade/FA Ideas (Mar 25 TDL) + Salary Chart - david75090 - 12-29-2020 (12-29-2020, 07:30 PM)omahen Wrote: I watched Johnson more a couple of seasons ago (I think it was a season before Luka was drafted) in Miami.

He was completely off of my radar. He's taller than I thought and handles the ball better than I thought. Had him pegged as just-a-guy, and he may be, but seeing how Rick is accentuating some of his skills makes me think I've underrated him.

Was really impressed when he was matched up against LeBron. |
