MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

Miles Bridges is actually the opposite of "back", considering Charlotte. They didn't agree on the extension, so he took his QO and will be UFA next season. It doesn't seem Charlotte values him highly in their long term plans.

Could be though, that Charlotte is more after Grant Williams. Not really sure why not stick with their own guy, unless perhaps PJ prefers to be elsewhere.

I have also seen Hollinger saying he doesn't bring much on defense. I haven't seen him enough to be able to judge, but he always looked interesting. If Charlotte is willing to part with him for THJ, I would be all over it. I wouldn't give up the 2027 pick, though, even if we include expiring Hayward and dump our remaining trash. If at least Charlotte would send some lesser assets back, some protected future FRP or something. 

btw, dropping dimes also mentioned Mavs in Siakam conversations, along with Knicks and Atlanta. Not really sure, how we could challenge offers they could put on the table.

Ok let me get in on the PJ debate. Let me start with saying that I would love to see PJ in Dallas. 6'7 with a 7'2-7'3 wingspan. Here you have Vecenie talking about him at the beggining of last season, just so you get a sense of his offensive game:

On defense he is a solid piece. He has the athletic ability and IQ to be an above average defender. He is able to switch 1-5, he isn't exactly an all defensive team defender, but he was solid in the few games I have watched(you need to know that the Hornets were a$$ on defense, even more than the Mavs
If the Mavs get PJ and Thybulle this would be an A+ offseason for me
