2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[Jommybone]

Nobody needs to agree with the logic, but "smoking crack" is dismissive of the fact that there are real reasons to trade Maxi this offseason:

1) Asset management. Sell high for once. 
2) He is shooting an unsustainable 49.2% from three in the playoffs.
3) He is turning 31 toward the beginning of next season.
4) You cannot rely on him to give you much more than 20-25 mins.
5) He has long term durability issues with his back. 
6) He has been fantastic in the playoffs (GREAT!) and yet the Mavs have been outscored when he has been on the court over the 13 games combined.

 Again, nobody is being the "thought police" here (think what you want and disagree) but I think disparaging the opinions of others (as "crack smoking") isn't helpful to discourse and realizing roster decisions are complex and difficult.

Sorry, sir. Didn’t mean it as an insult. I thought (perhaps wrongly) that “smoking crack” was a playful, fun way to express strong disagreement. That’s all. 

I know you’re a smart dude. And I applaud you sticking to your opinions in the face of pretty forceful opposition here. Looks like we’ve talked you (some of us) off the trade-Brunson wagon of late. But not the Maxi one. I plan to keep trying. Hopefully my efforts will not come off as anything but respectful.
