Curry will stay but I think Yogi is gone.

What do y'all think of Kevin Arnovitz's opinion in this video clip?

Rachel Nichols, Kevin Arnovitz and Zach Lowe break down the possibility of the Dallas Mavericks acquiring -- via NBA free agency or a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers -- big man DeAndre Jordan, to put alongside Luka Doncic, Harrison Barnes, Dennis Smith Jr. and Dirk Nowitzki.

Never understood giving him that offer anyway. Let him walk

gotta have a backup plan and a backup.

i know whatchumean tho, Mejri is one of those players that makes you ashamed to rep this squad.

 

[DONCIC]

Not ideal

Mavs needed him to opt-in and then trade for him so there would still be cap-space for another big-ish FA

Edit: Altho.....

Yea now he'll take a big chunk of our cap. Would've been easier if we could've traded wes to open some space...Although
DJ
Barnes
Doncic
Wes
Dsj

If we can bring back our own RFA off the bench...Curry, Yogi, Mcbuckets, DFS to go with Dirk and Powell off the bench I'd be good

Sounds like the Clippers were trying to play hardball.

 

[DONCIC]

I'm gonna need to know if it was the Mavs or the Clippers that said no to Wes being involved in a Deandre trade

Did the Mavs not include him in the Doncic trade because they wanted to keep him around for a potential Deandre trade? Or did they have no intention of trading him in either deal because he is too important as a locker-room leader?

Even if the Clippers didn't want Wes, you would have to think that a three-team trade would have been possible sending Wes to that third team

Damn, I didn't even think about this.

We probable kept Wes to use in trading for DeAndre Jordan.

Would the MAVS had enough money to sign DeAndre Jordan if they would've took on that Bazemore contract?

Is it fucced up that I hope Doncic doesn't turn into a star? I just want him to be a starter that's a fringe all-star player. I don't want another eurocac as the face of the franchise. I always lowkey felt that hurt us when it came to landing big name free agents. I will be happy if he's just another Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, or Andrei Kirilenko instead of a face of the franchise player like Dirk was.

Yeah breh you're trippin.

I do think people want to play with Dennis Smith Jr. tho.

He seems to have a lot of respect around the league.

 

[NoMorePie]

Smith jr
Doncic
Barnes
Nowitzki
Jordan

Not a bad turnaround

 

[the cool]

Am I the only one that doesn’t want Dirk to return this year?? He is so bad on defense at the age of 40. Start Dwight Powell instead
