I don't know we'll see, but I sure haven't heard any rumor like Dallas and Derozan have mutual interest like the one with the Knicks.

I just hope they have a solid plan. Picking up Willie to me has to signal some kind of plan. He's the definition of a JAG center to me. Picking up his option I hope means they have an idea of how they will use his salary in a trade or they had an idea that Powell was going to be dealt. I really don't want to punt FA with an Oubre signing. I would love Derozan, I would love to trade THJ and Powell for Hield and Bagley somehow, I'd love to trade for Rozier... I mean there are a lot of options that don't make this a failure but damn... I've been conditioned to believe this is where my misery starts.

Windhorst says Bulls interested in Derozan via SnT with Lauri and others.
I could see Bulls going for him. Lavine Derozan Vuc is not bad.

Yeah I'm not sure what bonified contender he can go to if not the Heat, or the Lakers if he wants the MLE. He will have to settle for a playoff team like Chicago, New York...or Dallas? I think we're better than either of Chicago or New York personally but Dallas is not Chicago or New York.

Do you guys need optimism to make you feel better about yourself? What difference does it make if some of us don't believe we're going to do well in free agency or not. If we do well, you can rub it in our faces. But who cares either way. Pretty sure it's not true that just because everyone believes in the tooth fairy, it becomes real.

No after the last 2 Off seasons and having ppl blow smoke up my ass and try to pass off piles of crap as premium soil with Delon Wright and holding powder for Giannis over Bogdan I'm gonna be pessimistic if I want to be this time.
I'll keep it in check until things are official though.

31 seconds ago – via Michael Scotto @ HoopsHype
Some around the league believe the Dallas Mavericks will consider trading for Goran Dragic should he end up going to Toronto in the Kyle Lowry sign-and-trade deal with Miami, as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski mentioned. Dallas can be added as a third team in the Lowry sign-and-trade deal where they get Dragic. The Mavericks can also trade for Dragic separately with Toronto. Both avenues can happen using Dallas’ cap space.

Well I guess we just hope we spend the rest of the money wisely and make some trades using the contracts we have.
I'm depressed as of this moment though.

Cuban you dummy. Better not pay thj more than 15-16 a year. Too streaky a player. Not that good.

Brunson guaranteed. We have a year to extend or he becomes a UFA (albeit one with full bird rights) next season

So, let's say they sign THJ ($20M) + Boban ($4M)to $24M. Does that mean they only have about $9M left to spend on other FAs? Can they wait on these signings, sign one or two others, and then go over the cap when they sign their own FAs?

It would be for a S&T. Don't think the Mavs could do it with keeping THJ.

With having his rights we can backload the contract more than others I believe? We can maybe start him at 14.5 or so?

Operating over the cap I imagine. So I can only see MLE being left. Only other additions I think will be trades.

It's the over reaction after every rumor by any random guy reported on Twitter. I totally get the frustration of Mav free agency and am not afraid to pile on here and there.

Probably got a discount at 18, but who knows.
I'll be a little overwhelmed if we don't get at least one more starter
