I think they would be a great duo for a Mavsboard podcast, again, unless they already are a part of another one…

WHAT SAY YE??? 

Will you take this journey with us? (hand outstretched gently)

Fif had the idea of changing the landscape of the press game and using screen names instead of real names. Would be awesome to hear in a press conference “Yes, Luka, Mavs Lover spelt without the e here with Mavsboard dot com…”.

I guess first things first, we literally are the underpants gnomes on this. We don’t know the step before profit, but all the other steps are there!

Do you sign Simmons at 4/$147mm?

Do you sign KP at 3/$101mm?

If someone made you sign one of the other, which would you sign?

Eventually if we can figure out how to get money for all of this, we start paying for you guys to interview players, which transitions to press passes!

A dozen offers doesn't mean a dozen good offers.  A few days ago we heard the leaguewide consensus would be very low in Simmons.  He's on a long, expensive contract and will not shot the basketball.
