One more thing, the mavs appear to be ultra tight lipped this year.  Even the guys who typically know seem to be doing educational guesses.

Like the clippers move of KJ Martin though.  They typically make good on the edge moves.  Probably fits them better than Morris in the present too.

The Mavs maximized the draft as well adding not one but TWO prospects along with a center, who though I don't have much faith in, theoretically fills a big need should he not be washed.

Those calling this a disappointing summer after the 2nd day to me is having short term memory loss. 

Should the Mavs not succeed in getting a starting 3, and tweak the center rotation to make it make sense, then this so far Grade A off-season gets knocked down to a B- (or C if you really want to be pessimistic).

We obviously don´t know what is going on and they might have one or even multiple trade options but as of now the Mavs lost the full MLE. Taking them out of the bidding war for the few remaining targets. Add free agents signing contracts left and right. Reducing the number of interesting options. And you have the usual eleventh hour reactions.

They somehow managed to make the team even worse. Holmes is completely washed, Powell and Curry have both declined and they loose their best bench players in Wood. The rooks are fun and I am actually okay with how Kidd has handled Hardy and Green which gives hope here, but damn. It‘s 2023 and their answers are still Seth Curry and Dwight Powell. What’s next? A DFS trade?

This lack of creativity and vision is baffling.

Also the inability to get their guys continues to make them look like a joke. Didn’t they bring in Harrison and Kidd for their relationships? So why does still nobody want to sign here?

Either the Mavs are working with him for a sign-and-trade and he is grateful for it.

or..

He agrees with an 8M 2-year deal with team option
