April 29, 20223 yr Mavs need to re-sign Brunson first and foremost. getting rid of THJr and Bertans should free up some money. need to sign a rim protector. and i'm fine with keeping Bullock. he's a solid 3 and D guy. and a good dude in the room.

April 29, 20223 yr Nice W for the Mavs, but Utah is a mess. I think they are about to blow it up in SLC. Dallas is stepping up in class in round 2, for sure. Should be a great series. 10 minutes ago, Jive Turkey said: Mavs need to re-sign Brunson first and foremost. getting rid of THJr and Bertans should free up some money. need to sign a rim protector. and i'm fine with keeping Bullock. he's a solid 3 and D guy. and a good dude in the room. Brunson is going to command about $20 - $25 million this off-season, maybe more if some desperate GM loses his mind. Nobody is taking that Bertans contract without some assets going with it. Maybe the same thing for THJ. His contract isn't horrible for his value, but it isn't a bargain either and I doubt anybody sees him as their missing piece or a future building block. But they clearly won the Porzingis trade. Luka's extension kicks in next year so we will see what Cuban's appetite is for the tax. This isn't the mid-2000's any more where he can just spend whatever he wants. That repeater tax is not fucking around.
April 29, 20223 yr i think brunson gets closer to $30 than $25. i hope i'm wrong. cuban has said all along he does not ever want to pay the luxury tax again but bruv there's no other way
April 29, 20223 yr Phoenix is a better team than Dallas top to bottom. Dallas probably has the best player though. I expect the sun's to win in 5 barring injury.

April 29, 20223 yr i think all three second round series' so far should be really good. and gs against either memphis or minnesota should be fun as well.

Even re-signing Brunson for the low, low price of $20 million would put them at $171 million. All of that is guaranteed unless Trey Burke doesn't pick up his $3.3 million option and then add their first round pick, which is about another $2 million. They are going to have to ship out some future picks if they want to move any of those contracts. Their cap was going to be mostly fucked anyway after the Porzingis contract and the Luka extension kicked in, but Brunson getting another $20-$30 million on top of that really puts them in a bind And then Klieber is going into the last year on his deal too. They are going to have an interesting off season.

They are going to have an interesting off season. I said going into the season that one of Maxi and Powell are gone either during or after this season. I think Maxi can be moved pretty easily as his deal isn’t terrible. But yea, not sure how else they are going to be able to move salary without some picks thrown in.
April 29, 20223 yr That cap number seems very low to me. You have a roster of 15 active guys. They should be able to average $10M per spot. Either that or the max number is way too high.

Either that or the max number is way too high. This year's cap was $112. The closest contending team to that is the Suns at $129 (unless you count Memphis) and their owner is a cheap fuck. There are 18 teams spending more than the Suns. So yeah - the "cap" is kind of a joke. I'm not sure how much it matters or not. Next CBA should be interesting - hopefully not too interesting.
April 29, 20223 yr 6 hours ago, Llogg said: They need upgrades over Powell, Bullock, and Green more than they need to move on from THJ. If he's a piece that helps them with those upgrades, so be it. Why Bullock? Dude was a monster for us this series...he and DFS were dawgs and iron men. I agree with Powell, who should be coming off the bench though. The Mavs really just need that one rim defending big with quick enough feet to switch and can do the PnR with Luka/Brunson

I'm afraid hardaway's time in Dallas is done.
April 30, 20223 yr Don’t guys play all the time with orbital fractures wearing a mask? This indefinite should mean, like, back for game 2, right?

April 30, 20223 yr 8 minutes ago, Michael Knight said: Concussion so he has to clear protocol I’m trying to remember the last concussion in basketball. I know there was a big one late in the playoffs like 5 or so years ago but don’t remember who. Seems like it was a big. I know Barkley and the TNT crew were adamant about playing through it, no big deal. Remember thinking it seemed an odd take at the time.
April 30, 20223 yr The thing I'm most struck by every time I watch a Memphis game is how much better a basketball coach Tom Segura is than you would have imagined.
April 30, 20223 yr "For the Grizz the 4th quarter is going to be really important" Is Magic writing for this chick?
April 30, 20223 yr Hi Dlo, a few more shots like that this quarter and we can officially welcome you to the playoffs you fuck
April 30, 20223 yr Hahahaha how the fuck does Ja get that and 1 then Edwards gets a no call there? Edited April 30, 20223 yr by ztejas
April 30, 20223 yr Just now, Kermit said: Is Scott Foster reffing this game? Wouldn't Foster be in the bag for Minny? KAT got fouled there too. At least, if the one on Ja was a foul.

April 30, 20223 yr Come the fuck on, Minny. Is it too much to ask for you to hold onto ONE double-digit lead and give us a Game 7?

April 30, 20223 yr Anthony Edwards is quickly becoming one of my favorite non-Spurs players, and it sucks that he plays on the same team as one of my least favorite players ever.
April 30, 20223 yr Come the fuck on, Minny. Is it too much to ask for you to hold onto ONE double-digit lead and give us a Game 7?I’m legit scared fam. I wish the lead was 4, and when it gets to 9 just take a 24 second violation

April 30, 20223 yr Ant should have headed to the scorer's table a minute ago. Don't tell me that kid can't play 43 mins in a game 6.
April 30, 20223 yr Think they called JJ for riding him there. Either way he's gotten away with a couple on Ant.
