These deals are so short now that you can afford to take more risks now and not have to worry about it hurting you for 6 or 7 years.

Fun fact. Gordon Hayward now has more $120 million contracts than all-star appearances over the course of his career.

Yeah, looking at the money getting thrown around and how desperate teams are right now, I'm actually glad the Mavs weren't players in free agency this time. If we're going to break the bank, I'd rather it least be for an all-nba player.

Isn't that deal cheaper than what the Mavs are paying Porzingis?

Touché. The Mavs definitely overpaid for KP.

People are trashing Whiteside to Kings, but man, 15/13 on a one year deal isn't the worst thing in the world. I know he is a stat padder, but this is the Kings we're talking about.

Wow I did not realize he put up 15/13 last season....He's not a ideal big man and he does represent sort of the outdated big man but you can do a lot worse than him. I wouldn't have been mad if the Mavs looked at him. I understand he's inconsistent but man the vet. minimum?

If you played the Pelicans would you just purposefully hack Lonzo every play
And say it’s all Ball

Westbrook to Houston - Houston sends 2 1st round picks and 2 possible pick swaps
Westbrook to Washington - Houston gets a single 1st round pick
And Houston went from Paul (the point guard god) to Wall (the busted up point guard)
UPGRADE!

How bad is Westbrook that he nets you never going to play John Wall and a PROTECTED 2023 first rounder? Embarrassing. You know he is pissed.

I have to say something I never thought I'd say..... Thank you Houston.
I have not laughed so hard this year. Truly, I thank you so very much.
And the best part is this will likely lead to more laughter soon. Because I can already see Houston fans justifying this trade and saying they are better. Because there are twitter clips of Wall and Harden playing pickup games together and he looks healthy. Well- Dwight Howard posts videos of himself shooting 3's yet Unicorn he is not. But yeah, when John wall was at his absolute very best he wasn't as good as Westbrick and I can't stand Westbrick. I can't believe how the 3 worst contracts in the NBA have now all been a Houston Rocket and somehow they have managed to keep outdoing themselves.
Thank you Houston. 2020 needed this.

He is reunited with Scott Brooks...the guy who let him pad stats and tanking the defense without consequences...He is going to be Happy
Beal should be pissed

DeMarcus Cousins: [Cousins reacts to the John Wall trade on social media.]
I didn’t even think about the fact that Cousins and Wall are reunited (not that either player is near their peak self).

Cousins isn't even guaranteed. Not even sure how that is a thing.

Beal was stat padding and not playing D last year. They should fit together

Of course. Beal CAN play defense, he just chose not to last year since the team was going nowhere

Mavs need to get a good trade package together either way. Mil will likely want to trade him at the deadline to get value back if he doesn't extend.
The million dollar question is whether we trade them KP or not.

You're right that the Mavs need to be prepared for any scenario, but I think it's incredibly unlikely that Milwaukee trades him before the season is over. They're still arguably the best team in the east, and they still have a legitimate shot at the title this year. As of right now, all signs indicate he is far more likely to sign the supermax than to demand out. And even if he doesn't extend, you still have the whole season to make a title run and convince him to stay. The only way they trade him is if he demands it, or if he flat out tells them that he will not re-sign. Their season would have to be an unmitigated disaster for them to trade Giannis before the deadline. You don't trade a generational superstar unless you know 100% that you can't keep him.

I agree
I can't believe that any star player would WANT to team up with him either

A: If it were any other star player, maybe, but I can believe that he and KD would gravitate to each other. They're both malcontents with victim complexes. Incidentally, while that drew them together, that could also lead to their partnership crashing and burning spectacularly.
B: He's talented enough that people will keep taking chances on him. He's arguably a top 10 player when healthy. This might be his last chance though. If he burns his bridges with KD and the Nets, then he'll probably in the Westbrook spot- playing on a bad team that just wants to sell tickets and maybe chase an 8th seed.

Partying in Vegas is more important.
He is so pathetic. Rockets fans were the only ones who defended him, too. Not anymore...

Wow, he really might not show back up.
I give a lot of credit to Silas for how he is dealing with this. He rightfully puts the onus on Harden and nobody else.
