It´s hilarious how much people here always care about the feelings of agents and the perception of players in free agency, but then they are fine with the Mavs immediately alienating a volatile player for a 35 year old back-up center that was basically viewed as a joke for 15 years. But I guess you guys are correct. Let´s make Wood earn the minutes off the bench, once he responds to the challenge and establishes himself as the clearly 2nd best player on the team we move him to the starting five. Then we gonna pay him market value in the summer like.....oops.
Mark Cuban thinks he´s Pat Riley or Phil Jackson. LOL. He´s Scott Skiles or Steve Clifford.

Dorsey 2-Way official:
DALLAS - The Dallas Mavs have once again “gone Euro.” Kind of.
When the Mavs recently chose to leave a roster spot open and let Luka Doncic’s buddy Goran Dragic sign with the Chicago Bulls, many assumed it was because something bigger might be coming via trade in the coming days or weeks … although an NBA team does not have to leave a roster spot open in that situation.
And mow they have apparently decided to add one more player while keeping that last official roster spot open.
According to multiple European media outlets, the Mavs back in the first week of July struck a deal with 6-5 Olympiacos shooting guard Tyler Dorsey. And on Saturday night, Shams notes that the deal has become a reality, in the form of a 2-way contract.

I can’t comment if he is an nba player so I will ask if he will actually play g league games or will he be given the Theo Pinson 2 way spot where he is mainly with the pro team?

[/url][color=var(--posttitletextcolor)][Fedor] The Cavaliers offered Collin Sexton a contract worth close to $40 million in three seasons

Quote:The Cavs have made what I’m told is a multi-year contract offer to Collin Sexton, one that they feel is reasonable based on the fact that he has no market and he has no other offers.
Quote:“I’m told that it is close to $40 million in total money,” Chris Fedor said recently. “So think of like a three-year, $40 million deal.”
Quote:“It’s way less than what Collin initially wanted,” Fedor said. “I don’t know that it’s the kind of deal that Collin and his camp would be willing to take.”
An important thing to remember about Cleveland is supposedly they would like to keep flexible and potential have cap room available if it appears Lebron stays at his high level of play and decides to leave LAL next offseason.

I keep trying to figure out what the Mavs would offer and how they would incentivize a S&T with the Cavs to facilitate, but I can’t come up with much.
Aside from Love (who is an expiring) they don’t have any bad contracts, and most of what I come up with just leaves them older with more salary. At that point I have to believe the draft compensation would be very high.
Anyone smarter than me have a realistic S&T proposal?

Wood can't just come off the street and start on the perennial powerhouse Mavs team that contends for championships every season. We have the greatest and smartest owner in the league and obviously we have a huge trade planned that will make the Mavs WAY better! I can't wait for this trade. I'm so excited to know the Mavs have this under control. Never doubt Cuban, Kidd or anyone on the Mavs! MBT all the way!!!

If the Mavs were a few million under the apron - if the Bertans contract just vanished, for example - then they might be situated nicely to make a sign-and-trade offer for Sexton. That's assuming they want to pay him more than CLE does, and would be willing to compensate the Cavs.
Here's the deal. Powell (expiring filler salary) to CLE for Sexton, at 3 yrs almost 44M, keeps the Cavs below the tax line. For a somewhat bigger number, Powell + Franky (which might put CLE just a sliver over the tax line, probably manageable) can offer up to a total 51.7Mish (starting at about 16.4M). Of course you can do a number a bit lower, too. Franky is adding value to CLE, but I suspect the Mavs would have to add a pick. Those ideas satisfy the Base Year hurdle and other issues, except one big one.
Unfortunately, that can't work with the Mavs being over the apron after the trade. It's a DOA idea unless the Mavs can first erase the contract of Bertans (or THJ) into thin air. Or the equivalent thereof. Where's that big trade for a wing, with incredible value that's going to solve all ills, when you need it?!?!?

Down on his 20 million investments in 85 Shark Tank companies is a drop in the bucket.

Yep, like most billionaires, they are probably losing money now. But they typically are the ones who make a killing when things rebound a little. Plus the Mavs investment has made a killing.
Anyone who was willing to give Donnie Nelson a 50 million extension is doing just fine

How much respect should Luka get for being this good without a great teammate?
Left of 3C is 23 players on 12 teams. Who would make the list on the other 28 teams. Gobert? Mitchell? Trae? Towns?
What player is good enough to satisfy you when the Mav’s finally get around to doing “THE” trade. Does it have to be someone left of 3C? Or, can it be someone to the right of 3C who is brought left by getting to play with Luka?

It's obvious that Morant is very underpaid (but that will change after next season) and Westbrook is very overpaid (although Tobias Harris is out there as well).
I don't think you can arbitrarily use a grade as a mark because that assumes you agree with this parsing. I'm not sure Jimmy Butler, Chris Paul or Paul George are "THE" trade targets, even if they are all on a top 12 team. I know it would be a lot noisier, but the question would be better answered if the entire league was listed. I would suggest that we would find "THE" trade by plucking a high performer, looking to play for a ring, from a tanking team more often than from another contending team.

Here are all the top 3 tier players:
Quote:Tier 1A: Giannis, Durant, Jokic, Curry
Tier 1B: Embiid, Doncic
Tier 1C: Kawhi, Lebron
Tier 2A: Tatum, Butler
Tier 2B: Davis, Morant, Harden, Trae
Tier 2C: Paul, Lillard, Booker, George, Gobert
Tier 3A: Bam, Brown, Jrue, Middleton, Kyrie
Tier 3B: Beal, DeRozan, Mitchell, Draymond, Murray, Siakam, Shai, LaVine
Tier 3C: Edwards, Simmons, McCollum, JJJ, Towns, Klay, LaMelo, Zion
I personally would target Bam, Simmons, and Siakam.
Then in Tier 4, I would target OG, Ingram, and JC (and maybe Tobias at the right price).

I would argue that Timmy was a 4B his last two healthy years as well. Where is Wood? Does this not include the trade? Surely he is top 125? I'm curious what Brunson is ranked? The rankings are behind a paywall, but I would guess Brunson is 4A?

I think 3C is the line. It needs to be 3C or better. The guy that makes the most sense is Siakam. I assume he is somewhere in in tier 3. He is on a max contract and not a top 20 player. I don't think the draft cost would be insurmountable.

Christian Wood was 4B and THJ was 5C in 2021, but both were dropped for some reason.
JB is 4A.

Figured on JB. I guess the hope is that Wood becomes at least a 4A on a contending team. 5C for THJ meaning not top 125? That seems really low for him.
