Man, the Bucks 2-6 players are SOOOOOO much better than the Mavs. Luka is surrounded by shit. 
Yep. Take away every team's best player and judge the remaining roster, Dallas has one of the worst in the league. When Tim Hardaway Jr is your second best player, you are not going to make any real noise. Nothing against him at all. He's a great piece to have. But to rely on him as a #2? Not good.

I don’t know about one of the worst, but certainly below average for the league and bottom 3rd of the west.

#3104

I dunno about y'all, but I think I'm full team Slovenia for men's basketball this year.  USA is embarrassing as shit, and Doncic looks like he's playing against middle schoolers.

#3106

Every time you think Luka is just your normal all-world basketball player he somehow surpasses expectations. 

Nico's interview was awkward on the Ticket. His success won't depend on media interviews I guess.

#3114

I'd say ideally, and I recognize we do not live in an ideal society, but IDEALLY, you would want a player who either was not on his last legs or did not expect to be 25% of the salary cap, but preferably both.

#3115

I think I've talked myself into Lonzo. I know he's not necessarily a shot creator, but he shoots the 3 at a decent enough clip, passes well, and is a good defender. I don't think there's anyone out there that fixes all our issues, but he at least fixes some of them and is young enough to keep improving.  

#3116

He's a creator.  The Mavs problem is they don't have anyone who can do anything besides catch and shoot unless you consider Josh Green (seriously). Plus he's smart, a good defender, and has a good feel for the game.  All things Dallas lacks.  

I'd be happy with him

#3117

Lonzo makes more sense for Dallas than Lowry. He's a guy that has shown growth in his time in the league, becoming an off the ball shooter and good defender. Still has good instincts and vision. Cubes could definitely do worse (and probably will).

brunson.  but he got swallowed up by LAC's elite defenders.  i think lonzo would be a good fit but i'd prioritize upgrading our catch and shoot threat.

All of this.

 

But I'd still pay some money for Lowry if offered.

Apparently it’s a one-way trade because Boston had a trade exception from the Gordon Hayward trade. Didn’t even know that was a thing. Either way, we have a shit ton of cap space.

For those that don't want Lowry, who are you wanting?

Not a 35 year old guard on a 3-year deal.

Opens up a $10.9? million trade exception for us to be used within the next year. Curious how we will navigate utilizing it without committing to a long-term cap hold.

#3128

They'll still have an almost 10 mil Trade Exception too, that they'll probably renounce to have more cap space.

 

this a good move.

Rumors: Lowry to the Heat, CP3 and Conley resigning, Lonzo to the Bulls/Knicks, Dinwiddie to the Wizards.

 

Can’t believe everything right now. Agents posturing for more money. Lowry to the Heat seems like the likeliest scenario though. I think you have to throw the bank at Lonzo at that point, though. Those teams cannot pay as much as Dallas if it came down to it. 

#3132

Guys I know it’s early in the morning but y’all missing a very fun/physical game with Slovenia and Spain. Exactly what you would expect.

#3133

Unlike Dallas Lukas teammates stepped up to finish this game off.

Once again Luka could have had 15 assists but didn’t.

Now Slovenia avoids the US, Australia, and France, and can’t be matched up against Spain either. Basically what most think are the top 4 teams. So they’ll get Germany or Italy.

Confident they’ll beat either one pretty easily and move on to the Semis.

Meaning that win or lose in the semis they’ll, at worst, be playing for the Bronze. And honestly as long as they don’t face the US in the semis, I think they got a good shot of playing in the gold medal game.

Bracket. Slovenia should beat Germany. Then it’s France or Slovenia to the Gold medal game. Luka got a good chance of medaling and at getting a Gold Or Silver which would be amazing.

#3136
Hope the Mavs are going after Derozen. Lowry and Lonzo are out.

It looks that way but way too much going on to say for sure.
#3139

I don't love the options. Iwould still pursue Lonzo some. Norman Powell maybe.

I am guessing we will have to get involved as a third team trade option unless we are fine over paying for second tier free agents.

#3140

well if lowry's going to miami that clears the way for them to trade dragic to us.  which just means we're assembling the nba version of slovenia's national team.

Not really sure how I feel about this. I guess it makes Luka happy so that's good. But is this going to improve us much? Even if he has a bounce-back year, he's more of a 25-minute per game type of guy at this stage. 

#3147

That's a good deal for THJ.  Feel like he could have gotten more elsewhere, or at least the Mavs would have to pay him more than 20 to keep him.  

Still got some cap room, and I'm expecting Dragic at some point.  Makes too much sense.
