2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[TXBamanut]

It´s getting old to respond to people that have strong opinions but nothing to back them up. Last season... after the RoCo trade a bottom 5 Minnesota defense suddenly was a top 5 defense. But I guess that´s only because they added Dario Saric as well.
He wasn´t great early in the season but is back to his former self now.

Might want to educate yourself...

I expect all the Covington groupies to ignore this but it is actually y'all who need the education. Let me introduce you to something called context.

Your Pulitzer Prize winning article was written 10 games into Covington's Timberwolf career. Talk about premature ejaculation. 

What you failed to consider was the other 12 games Covington played afterwards before his season ended: Minnesota dropped from a top 5 defense all the way to 26th!!!! 

I thought he was DPOY worthy? Why'd they fall so far down? It's not rocket science, Covington is not a DPOY worthy player; he is not even elite.

Don't let the DRPM and media love fool y'all. I know it's too late for that but I thought I would at least try.

In all fairness....
1)  I don't think he makes or breaks a defense...because there are other people on the floor that have to defend.
2)  He gained his defensive reputation in Philly, first, not only in Minnesota.
3)  First you say "10 games is too short a sample", and then you try to make your argument on 12 games.  You are kind of doing the same thing that you accuse the article's author of doing.  So which is it?

It looks like both of you guys have decided what you are going to believe, and then you are just reaching for the stats that support what you are going to believe no matter what.

For example...The "who care about DRPM?" sentiment....  I bet you would all of a sudden be the biggest proponent of DRPM if it rated RoCo as a bad defender.
