They should def tank the rest of the year to keep their pickThose contracts aren't THAT bad for a team like us that isn't going to contend for AT LEAST another 2-3 years. The shytty Barnes, Lee, and THJ contracts expire at the perfect time, honestly.
Plus the team is so gutted now that if we sit Kristaps, Luka is out here with G Leaguers and we might actually get a top 5 pick

2021 is notThose draft picks are protected.
Donnie Nelson keep running off on the plug.
They will be a playoff team in 2021 IMO.
I doubt they will be picking in the Top 10 if they miss the playoffs.
They sitting Luka tonight with "left ankle soreness" 
If Harrison Barnes can't get 30 tonight

Good job.
Well if there was any fear that Kristaps was coming here against his will or was lukewarm about Dallas
He'll resign

I wonder what our starting lineup is going to look like the rest of the season
Maxi
Barnes
DFS
Luka
Brunson
I imagine Tim Hardaway Jr is going to start breh. With Courtney Lee & Trey Burke being regular rotation players.
I think they would start Powell before they start Maxi.
Powell
Barnes
Doncic
Hardaway
Brunson
Burke, DFS, Dirk, Maxi, Mejiri as second unit
Powell

Powell hasn't started much ever. Maxi was getting the starts whenever there was a injury in the starting lineup

I defend Luka on the board and that was moreso the acquisition of KP than it has to do with Luka. This roster is ass we have no draft picks. I doubt if KP reups, he'll probably join the Warriors. We definitely ain't making the playoffs anytime soon. We need to lose 27 out of the next 31 games to end the season to even have a chance at having a draft pick this year. The way our roster is constructed, you might as well forget about somebody joining us over the summer. We might could make a play for Gordon Hayward though.
1-8 in the west are legit better than us. Lebron is about to get LA in the top 8. The Kings has put together a ROSTER.
Glad the young buck DSJ free tho
We're about to revert back to the 90s smh.
Last year we were a 33 win team that could have been a playoff team if we weren't literally throwing games. This year we added Luka and DJ, which should have been enough to get us over the hump but yet the team is marginally better, if that. Now we wait and see if this new, what 2-3 year plan works? Front office is trippin'
I think Maxi is too stiff and would be a liability on offense.
DeAndre has played in 50/51 games. We always had him to be primary anchor down low.
Rick can't run his bread and butter PnR and two man game with Doncic and Maxi. He can with Powell. Same with Burke and Brunson when they're running the O.
I see Powell slotting into Jordan's role as a much more feasible option and continuing the high PnR offense over Maxi and doing a new spread iso/ball movement offense.
I think it's 50-50 though

One more season Dirk. We just want one more. 
On the real though, Dallas should try and unload Barnes if they can and go all in for KD in the offseason.
