The future is bright ✨

We have signed General Manager @nianoelle24 to a multi-year contract extension.

#MFFL


Nico gets his contract extension although for how many years and for what $ it has yet to be said.

I'm actually more concerned about Lindsey contract.

SH,

Can we change the headline on this thread? It starts with "Luka is hurt" and gives me heart palpitations every time I see it until my aging brain kicks into gear and realizes it's old news.

After some exploratory talks, Daniel Gafford will not become a naturalized citizen member of Slovenia's national team for the 2024 Olympics, per Marc Stein. Gafford's addition to the roster could still happen in the future. However, the federation is expected to turn elsewhere for its summer campaign, Stein reports.

Things aren't looking good at the moment. I am not ready to give up though. I am sure we will have this discussion numerous times over the summer, but curious what you think the Mavs biggest need is moving forward. I think the Mavs have a good roster. I think most of the players will be wanted back, but I also think the Mavs will look to upgrade a few spots over the next few years.

So what is your biggest need:
1) Better three point shooting
2) A legit third scorer
3) A wing who can create
4) a center who can stretch the floor
5) Another elite wing defender

I am sure the answer may be a mix of these. I think I really miss the three point shooting. Is there a way to keep the defense and length but add very good shooting. It feels like this would open up games more if we can do all the stuff we are doing now but make teams pay from three. These players are tough to find though.

On the other hand, I would love to see a guy like Draymond here. Even though he lacks a consistent three. I think another guy who could get the ball and make plays would really open things up. Right now Draymond is not available, but I wonder if that could change in a year or two. Or he can be persona non grata with another incident or two as well.

This report says the NBA didn't want Adelson as the Mav's primary owner FWIW if true.

Holy shit what a video.

Actually had me tearing up.

Crazy how in just a little under a year Dereck Lively has become one of my favorite Mavs of all time. What a strong man he is.

Truly, with all due respect to Lively and his mom, can we remove her passing from the thread title?
