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

[F Gump]

So does Dallas have two spots open?  3 if they waive Javele?  Would you rather fill the open spots with veterans or younger guys?

If we do have 3 open spots, sort of odd they seem to have moved on from Theo.  Not that he is a core player, but it seems like they have the room.  But I really like how they have been strategic.  I wonder if they fill one spot with a veteran and then look to steal a young player with a guaranteed roster spot....barring any trade.

1 Mavs have 14 right now, including McGee. That may be their plan. There are pluses and minuses to weigh as to whether you fill that 15th spot at the start of the season.

2 DS, I would wager they have signed OMax, and just failed to do the PR thing to media. I can't imagine either his agent or the Mavs would let him play in summer league until that is completed, because of the consequences if he gets injured.

3 We keep getting very vocal feedback to media that they aren't done. But I'm incredibly hesitant to trust anything will happen, even though they clearly want that message to be aired.

4 I do see 1 possibility that could explain such a certain message, while all we see is a big fat nothing, which would be they could have a deal already set, but have to wait for the Holmes "no-aggregation" restriction to expire. If that's the case, we have a long wait (to early Sept) and they will not be able to be any more explicit than the hints they have already given. They have done this type of thing before (although it has been a long time ago).

Then again, Cuban and others are talking up Holmes. If there is ALREADY a deal in place, would we be hearing that?
