Those 3&D bigs are so rare...surprised to see one take the MLE.
How livid must Toronto fans be right now? Kawhi leaves and then recruits other raptors to follow him.

Probably the years was the sticking point. Mavs probably wanted a 2 year deal. Suns couldn't have cared either way.

Wow!!
Who would you rather have at similar money - Montrezl Harrell or Serge Ibaka?
I know how I'd answer that question.
I'll take Harrell for 2/16 over Ibaka at 2/19 mostly because Ibaka looks a little washed up and anything beyond a year. I guess it depends what you are looking for though.

I highly doubt Dallas offered that much money.
Still, you wonder the actual lure of wanting to play with Luka. Are we going to save up all of this space just to have another disappointing FA in 2021?
Because Ibaka for 2/19 is a f'in steal.

He averaged a career high in points on some of his best career shooting #s...

Well it’s not just Luka. Dallas has to be ready to win a Title
Guys sign with the clippers and Lakers because they’re contenders.

Curious if we had another S&T target after Gallo.

That's crowder not Ibaka?
I never heard Dallas linked to Ibaka other than speculation.
And at equal money, Ibaka may have wanted to stay in Toronto or go play with his buddy in LA.
I mean we sort of expected not much since we didn't have cap space and we were hoping to get something to come on the MLE. But only a few guys we wanted have gone at the MLE so it's sort of been a mute point.

Ibaka and Kawhi won a championship together. They’re friends. Have you seen the video going around?

We are kind of limited this year to S&T or within the MLE type players. I'm not excusing the MBT because I'm the first to dunk on them in this area, but it will be interesting to see what happens next off season when we have better flexibility.

Lakers and Clippers are getting an LA/Ring Chase discount that other teams couldn't get. That said, I like Harrell for the Lakers more than Ibaka. The Lakers main concern should be getting LeBron and AD some time off so they can stay fresh for those critical moments when Championships are on the line. Harrell is such an elite PnR roll guy that they can still be high end with a LeBron/Harrell PnR when AD is off the floor, and they can even tread water when both are off the floor with a Shroder/Harrell PnR.

That's the part that is confusing to me. We were willing to forego plan powder to lock up Gallo?
But now it's back to being about plan powder? and toughness and defense.
Or were the Gallo reports erroneous?

Yep. Lots of mixed messages. Mavs were linked to Hayward extension as well.
Doesn't make sense.

Luka is different than Dirk. He’s going to make friends, not keep to himself.

To me, it makes perfect sense when you realize it’s not about powder, but rather using the cap efficiently and not making bad deals (though they got Wright wrong).
They have lots of different ways to go, and are keeping options open until a great one presents itself.

Carlisle saying they aren't done by a long shot but we've signed Burke, Johnson via trade dumps of JJ/Delon, Jed and possibly JJB. Maybe I'm overreading his words or underestimating his disdain for Delon.
Maybe Gallo turned us down because of years.
The "stay tuned" tweet recently.
Our strange situation with the 4/5 and injuries.
We haven't done anything I hate yet and we'll be better defensively but our offense is going to take a few steps back. It's just kind of weird offseason and feels incomplete.

I'm not convinced the Mavs were as interested in Gallo as he was in them.

Possible but it was reported that they were going hard after him and the bidding seemingly got to a number they weren't comfortable with. Gallo's age and defense really doesn't make sense to me as everyone else we've gotten has been some combination of defensive minded, young or both.
