RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: Buyout Watch Day 3 - youzigizag - 02-10-2024 (02-10-2024, 10:19 AM)dirkfansince1998 Wrote: That's actually a big part of it. Gafford is basically a better version of what McGee was supposed to be. It's still 2020 Lakers 2.0. I have seen some PJ highlights where he is standing at the free throw line as Ball gets doubled at the Logo(similar to Luka doubles) and Ball outlets to PJ (with one guy between him and basket and tons of space around them)at the free throw line with tons of space around him and just turns around and does a push shot for an easy bucket. Couldnt Holmes do that? I guess they tried and it wasnt working? Holmes has the push shot to make that work...like in the PJ highlights of him being the outlet man for Ball on Ball doubles. Most of the highlights I saw of PJ as the outlet and exploiting 4v3 was him catching the ball, turning around and doing a push shot. I get that PJ is more well-rounded skill wise and a better athlete than Holmes...maybe the Mavs think PJ is better suited to attack the basket for an easy layup in that situation if push shot is not there with his skillset? I will say that PJ seems to be the better option in that specific scenario over Maxi, Holmes and Grant Williams. Lively does really well at exploiting that situation as well. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: Buyout Watch Day 3 - ThisIStheYear - 02-10-2024 Bummer. Looks like Spencer to LA. Moderate size loss for the Mavs. Nice pickup for the Lakers. Mavs are now Exum health dependent. Buy out market cashed. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: Mavs Get Gafford ! Mavs get PJ! Dinwiddie might get bought out? - Jakeospikez - 02-10-2024 (02-10-2024, 07:25 AM)omahen Wrote: You made a great summary and as I said before, I totally agree Mavs are better than they were. I don't really think it's that difficult to see where the improvement would come year over year. 2nd round exit is fine this year. young players need to get experience. Lively needs a lot of exp. Lively/Green/PJW/OMax/Exum are all getting better every year. Luka himself is also getting better. Hardy too but I wouldn't include him in the playoff rotation. Mavs have had a bad defense because they've been playing undersized a lot of their games because of injuries (THJ PF?). Defense is much better after getting Maxi back alone. They have actual size now and front court depth. Also defense will improve by young players getting better and kicking THJ out of the rotation or having him only play like 10 bench minutes max for a playoff game. I don't think Mavs need a major starter upgrade but you never know, if any of these young players impress during a playoff run, they could be used in a trade for a bigger piece because playoff performance jacks player values up a lot. I personally don't think a bigger piece is really needed. This lineup is fine just needs experience and for young guys to improve. Imo these TDL moves are much better than dumping Green+OMax+2027 1st for a player like Siakam. Also keeping a team's core together improves the team every year because of chemistry and comfort in a system.

Holmes used to make the push shot every time but every time I saw him try it on the Mavs he bricked it. Don't know what happens to make him not good at it anymore but it's been a few years since he had lots of minutes in Sac plus all the off court drama. PJW should have lots of opportunities to make stuff happen here.

Making this TDL a better opportunity for us to have gotten something of value than the off season will be given what we are competing with. But haven't looked too deeply at that situation.This is an important point. 11 teams control 75% of all picks. The competition with teams like OKC, Orlando, New Orleans would lead to us losing a bidding war. There was an advantage to us being first movers. At this point, the only real player decisions coming up are on DJJ, THJ, Hardy and the 2024 2nd which will likely be pick 58(two 2nds are forfeited) 2028 Miami 2nd is now unavailable. We have the 2025 Raptors 2nd, a 2028 least favorable and our own 2031 2nd Nico and Dennis have shown they excel in the draft. We don’t need high picks for them. I like the idea of letting them work with what we have to bring in more young talent each year. It’s nice they have a starting point to doing something in this draft. It’s considered a “weak” draft but that may be good for us to find value. Hardy has no role on this team and i think the best move is to get a future asset for him before his contract is up DJJ can either take the tax MLE or not. At the full MLE there was a chance he could be a bad deal. At the smaller MLE it would be excellent value regardless. If he says no, I’m hopeful we will find someone else THJ is the spot that if we REALLY wanted to go all in it would be him. THJ + Omax + 2025 FRP + 2031 FRP + swap for Lauri?!?!?!?……….. I’m not ready for something like that NOW or this summer. Possibly next TDL if it makes sense, but we need a good year of evaluating what we currently have Its an exciting time to be a Mav RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: Buyout Watch Day 3 - mvossman - 02-10-2024 (02-10-2024, 10:33 AM)Scott41theMavs Wrote: Having had a couple of days to reflect on the moves, a few thoughts: In what world did PJ get more than market value last summer? He was a starter playing over 32 minutes a game and scoring 16 per at only 24 years old. That is the profile of a player who is going to get paid. He was an RFA, which is always going to depress your contract. In fact there are hints that he was a little disgruntled about getting strong armed into that contract. I feel like folks are reading too much into half a season and ignore everything before. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: Buyout Watch Day 3 - BigDirk41 - 02-10-2024 Can teams still buy first round picks?

In all seriousness, Washington is taking an unnecessary beating around here. It may not happen right away, but by this time next year he will have blossomed into a much better player than people are expecting. He just has so many attributes that the Mavericks need.

Much of whatever positive feelings I have regarding his acquisition have to do with your salivating over him as perfect for the Mavs about two years ago, IIRC and FWIW. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: Buyout Watch Day 3 - jon.neal52 - 02-10-2024 With Didwiddie off the market I’m hoping for Danuel House or Kyle Lowry. Tempted to try out Killean Hayes to see if he was just in the wrong system. Looks like he can handle the ball and get assists.

PJ is a bargain contract. He merely needs to revert to the form of his first 4 years (before this half one) to be a terrific addition. You can only call him undersized by squinting hard so you miss his wingspan, standing reach, and vertical leap. Calling Gaff’s $12mm an overpay also seems crazy. In 2019 dollars, that’s only about 8.

It has him being a better than average NBA player until this season (average upper 60s percentile prior three years) with both offense and defense being better than average. Most of the negatives regarding him are mostly due to this current season.
