GAME 32: DAL (15-17) @ UTA (23-9) | 116-120 loss

[Mavs2021]

JB is a crafty scorer but he's a terrible passer and has chucker tendencies.  He had a terrible opening to the 4th quarter and then hero balled us back into the game.  Giving him a big contract would be a mistake.  He's not a starting caliber player for a contender.

KP gets two shots in the 4th quarter.  

We've done a good job tanking without trying but it's looking more and more like it is time to try.  These team needs to be burnt to the ground.

All I know is that he´s better at shooting, better at passing, better at rebounding, better at dribbling and better at defense than THJ. So the answer to who I´d rather pay $17M is pretty easy.

The Mavs finally need to be realistic for once and make a two year plan. The Warriors are 27-6 without Klay Thompson and have not cashed in the Wiseman trade chip, if they desire to. We cannot compete with that team (or the Suns, Bucks, Nets) under any circumstances, so we need to use the next 12-15 months to clean out our mistakes and set up the roster for the future, that means

1. Trade THJ
2. Trade Bullock
3. Play Brunson, Green, Ntilikina, S. Brown, M. Brown regular minutes and just live with the results
4. If the result are two lottery assets, use them wisely by drafting or trading.
5. Extend DFS/Brunson
6. Run down the contracts of Powell/Burke/Boban/WCS.
7. Make decision on Porzingis

That´s the todo list until the summer of 2023.
