DeAndre Jordan is a pretty big fukking addition. That's a top 5 NBA center. Not to mention, the Mavs are a lot more healthy this year and finally playing Larry Nowizki less as well. Dallas has a good team.
Hmm... I don’t agree that Jordan is a top 5 center but he’s probably top 10 (off the top: Embiid, Jokic, AD, Towns, Gobert, Drummond, Adams, and Marc Gasol ahead of him imo). He’s not the defender he used to be but he’s still a solid presence and great rebounder and finisher.

How do you guys define good? They are competitive but I doubt many people had playoff expectations before the season. I think sneaking until the 8th seed would still be a surprise at this point.

The hoops this nikka is jumping through to somehow paint his lava hot take as being slightly reasonable. WOW.


A BUST won't do great even with Deandre Jordan on his team.

A BUST won't do great because the refs bail him out.


Doncic is not a fukking bust, breh.

Just admit you were hating and being a typical coli nikka and ask the mods to send this thread to the rafters. Just stop.

?? The Mavs were a bottom 5 lottery team last year and the only major additions are Luka and DeAndre Jordan (who has been solid). Why are you trying to say they are good?

Dallas were tanking last year, they always had some talent and Jordan plugged a major hole. Luka is definitely a big diff maker though. Kinda like the Lakers, given how many games Ball & Ingram missed last year, winning 35 games last year means they would have competed for the top 8 without Lebron.

Most analytics consider him to be the best defensive center this year.

If you are fighting for that western conference playoffs spot, you are good.

AD is a 4.

I think Jordan is better than Drummond this year but you can make a case for Vucci. Capela been much better of recent form but he was awful for the first two months

It's clear he shouldn't have called him a bust. I told him Luka can ball. He just never liked him and really dislikes his fans.

Vucecic? Capela? Cousins? Top 15 maybe.

DJ is barely a top 15 Center in today’s game

:yeshrug: I agree with @#1 pick. I been telling brehs in the main Mavs thread that Deandre Jordan this season with the Mavs is a better player than Tyson Chandler was on the 2011 Mavs championship team.
