Im pretty neutral on Kidd. I wouldn’t be devastated if he left and they got draft capital for him. 


Nico has shown to be a great steward of draft picks.

    Dirk going to LA for Luka’s debut. Probably the biggest FU yet to this front office.

    Isn’t trading your star player and having all your good players injured and then raising ticket prices the plot of major league II?

19 years ago today Dirk dropped 50 on the Suns, which I remembered, but sometime since then I had forgotten that there was once an NBA player named Tim Thomas. 

 

Dirk was a killer. He got a "soft" label placed on him thanks to previous Euros and 2006 Finals/2007 We Believe Warriors...but the man would literally kill you with his game.

His post up game was so good. 

One of the best ever to do it at 7 ft.

Knicks wanna talk to Kidd might even trade a couple picks for him

Do it.  Give me the Washington first rounder that will NOT convey and turns into two 2nd rounders, both of which will be stupid high.

Kidd to NY really picking up steam. We'd better get draft capital and then fire Nico afterward.

thibs is tan and rested

Man there's so many established coaches out there too...

I'd take Mike Malone(who helped develop Jokic) in a heartbeat. The coach that won a title in Milwaulkee too(can't spell his name and not looking it up).

The REAL issue is who's making the hire?  If it's Nico we might be fucked.

But if it's NOT Nico it's really fucking fucked.

Just fire Nico god dammit.

Gafford extended for 3 years 54 million. Very friendly contract. Can still be traded immediately.

I guess the extension makes him a more valuable trade asset.

I suspect that number being exactly that means they got something in the work IMO.

Yes it does...instead of having him for one year on an expirer any team trading for him has him basically locked up for his prime now at a very reasonable rate.

irving extension 3/119... heck yeah

Apparently this is a climbing salary each year, meaning he took a reduced salary this upcoming season. Because of that, the Mavs are under the 2nd apron and have a $5.7 million exception they can use now. So if you want Chris Paul, you at least have something over the vet minimum to offer. 

Just heard on the radio discussion about what Nico would take for the pick. Ol’ bitch Adelson probably says “take what you can get.” How about Marcus Smart and a 2066 second round pick?

Plus you can now use multiple players in trades and not 1 for 1. 
 

Two players I really don’t like are D-Lo and Chris Paul and both are in the running as the PG to be signed.

I think CP is probably the best stopgap we can get until Kyrie is healthy. Then he also won't throw much of a fit when he's moved to the bench.

Luka and swap 1s

Stop it. Even the owners know what a gift they were given. Flagg is staying. 

There were rumors of them trying to get into the back end of rd1 but who knows 

Lots of talk they’ll trade back in 

Nico will trade Flagg to The Lakers and throw in any remaining future draft picks the franchise has for Jerry West.

Eh, I assume he’ll be reasonable and target Kobe

Any other GMs there? Pelinka got Luka over a cup of coffee. Who knows what Nico would do if another GM bought him beers. 

God we went from having a pretty solid GM who was making a name for himself as quick team builder to a laughing stock GM in 6 months.

what a douche

 

How rude.  You don't even know his friend.  

Charlotte got Sexton for a steal. Would have loved if the Mavs could have gotten him. 

I'll be the one to say I'd take DLo for 5 mil rather than Sexton for 19 mil PLUS have to trade for him, even if it was a garbage trade. 

I don't think either guy moves the needle all that much. But D Lo can fill the vacant Kyrie role for a few months and go to the bench after that.

This team is going to struggle mightily to guard the perimeter. We can see this coming from a mile away, right?

I would hope that the genius GM at least has put together a top flight defensive team at the minimum because defense wins championships.

maybe he really mean "interior" defense wins championships?

What if Nico is on the phone with he buddy rob?

Lebron and Bronny for

Klay, PJ and Gafford

The money works

Other than the Luka debacle Nico's been very good. I know that's like saying other than the final solution Hitler had good ideas.

other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?

That's what's so puzzling about the trade.  How can you mess up that badly when ever else has been so good.

They brought Exum back for that...I know, another injury prone player. They're really praying to the gods here.

Wizards is crazier. Antawn, Porzingis, Stevenson, Haywood, Caron, Laettner, Juwan, Gooden, Gafford, Josh Howard, Stackhouse, Popeye, Javale. Sure there's more. Weird thing about them is we've traded directly with them like 4-5 times this century.

I'd love it.  I might even consider cutting Caleb Martin to make it happen
