Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

[mvossman]

Saying the Mavs need to hold onto their few FRP's so they can trade 3 for a star player this summer - is the same thing as "Plan Powder".  Also, waiting around for someone to drop in their laps is not a plan.  Just face it, Cuban does not know how to build a contending team.  Can't believe the new owners fell for his BS.

Luka is in his 6th year, and we are going to be knocked out in the play-in round this year if we wait until this offseason.  We started 8 - 2 and since then we have gone 16 - 17.  There has been talk that we are better than last season.  But we have the same record as last season after 43 games as this year 24 - 19.  New faces yes, some good some not so much.

The team added a new FO peace this past offseason in Dennis Lindsy and had one of their best drafts in ages.  Let's see what he can do this TDL.  If we stand pat this TDL - the NYK will be receiving a high lottery pick this summer.

Someone already used the Bally commercial line "that's crazy talk".  Not letting Lindsy use all resources this TDL is in fact Crazy Talk.

PS: this could also fall under F Gump's "I'm out this season" thread.

There is a huge difference between free agency and trades.  Trades are on an even playing field, free agency is not.  Not spending every asset you have as soon as you get it is not plan powder.  

Your prediction is unlikely, but if its correct NY is not getting a high lottery pick from us because its top 10 protected again.

If Lindsy is so good at the draft, then why are begging to send out draft picks.

This mindset that we have to spend every asset immediately is part of what got us into this mess.
