Hardship depth chart

[vfromlmf]

With Bullock expected to return for the next game Mavs have their first hardship decision coming up. My guess is Charlie Brown gets waived in the next 24 hours.

Yeah, he and King will be the first two out the door, I think.

[Scott41theMavs]

Brown was good. King, not so much.

[OBX Maverick]

When Harp is available to return, who goes back to Mavs Live?  I rather enjoyed listening to Brian Dameris Monday night next to Followill.

Bullock returns. Will be interesting to find out if he's back in the starting lineup or if Kidd doubles down on what's working with the Ntilikina + Green platoon. Boban and Knight are both out. Isaiah Thomas is your new backup PG.

Will be interesting to see what happens to the starting lineup and rotation as Luka, THJ and Kleber return. Brunson put up All-Star numbers as a starter and Green showed he deserves regular rotation minutes. S Brown also played well and is knocking down threes. Ntilikina may be out with an eye injury but when he returns the Mavs have quite a log jam of guys pushing for minutes. He and Green still make some egregious mistakes - one could argue Frank's out-of-control closeout on Fox cost them the SAC game - but both bring raw talent this team desperately needs.

Charlie Brown

[Scott41theMavs]

Why the hell is King still here instead of Charlie Brown? I bet it's because King was signed after Brown, didn't have to sign a second ten-day, and will expire himself away after this game.

It was kind of fun having three Browns.

[chaparral]

On RealGM.com it shows that King became a FA yesterday on 1/1/22.  And Brown, Jones and Knight are FA's as of today.  

I also saw an article yesterday that DEN is going to give Carlik a 10-day.  And MEM is signing Tyrell Terry to a 2-way contract.

Burke returns but listed questionable, probably pending a negative test today. Notable that Chriss played ahead of Moses Brown vs Nuggets. Thomas is still on his 10-day but unlikely to return to the team.

I think Burke has been fine this year.  Honestly, he has surpassed my expectations.    Although, I will be disappointed if he is back in the regular rotation if Jalen continues to start.   

I have liked the minutes Josh Green, Sterling Brown, and Frankie have been given.   Frankie is already out of the main rotation at this point, it appears.   if Burke gets consistent minutes it probably hurts Josh Green's minutes.

[vfromlmf]

McLaughlin waived. Pinson signed two-way. Chriss signed a third 10-day. KP (Jan 3) is the only regular in protocols. Mavs back to 17 players in house.
