2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[Scott41theMavs]

Scott melting down over freakin WCS is my favorite internet storyline at the moment.

Will you "melt down" if he goes elsewhere and contributes significantly? If not, then that says a lot about you as a poster and Mavs fan.

It probably says he doesn't go into a tizzy every time a Mavs player changes teams and contributes to his new squad. I mean, isn't that pretty much everyday life in the NBA?

Guess some people have a higher melting point than others. I would welcome his future posts, even if he doesn't melt down. Not sure how I would know one way or another, really.

It's the underlying issue, not of knee-jerking, who's the more knowledgeable fan, or whatever. It's a matter of how this coaching staff tends to approach certain players.

I believe we're wasting talent quotient, time, and assets if the coaching staff simply refuses to work with a certain type of players with particular weaknesses but talent and skillsets that most other NBA teams, especially the good ones, seem to make far better use of. This problem - and it is a problem - tends to cause problems for the Mavs - very little rim protection if KP and Maxi aren't on the floor, an undervaluing of rebounding (outside of the PG position, of course, lol!!!), and weaker defense all-around. It's not just a matter of Donnie needing to recognize that RC doesn't like players with certain traits and stop signing, drafting, and trading for those players. It's that RC needs to learn to see the value of what those players can bring, and learn to adapt to it. I would like to see Donnie address those issues with Rick. And yes, it is part of Donnie's job to tell Rick how to do his job.
