Brad Townsend is awful. He has attacked me on a personal level a time
or two just for disagreeing with the guy.

Damn for 5.9 million? He could be a cancer in the locker room and i'd still bring him in for that much.

Mavs arent going after hardly any free agents. I doubt this was because of what Kidd learned with Schroder

lol you should see what Chuck Cooperstein recently said on twitter. He said Mavs fans don't deserve nice things because of our criticisms of FA.
Some people need to stay off social media.

Now that Josh Green is back is he joining the Summer League team? He needs to work on his offensive game. We need him to come through with a solid 3 to 5 points per game as the only 1st round draft pick we will have this first half of the decade.

He's not joining the SL team. Unless something oddly changes. I don't hate that either. That shit show isn't going to really do much for his game. No one can run the offense and it was hard to watch. The experience in practice vs Australia's 1s even with limited Olympics mins is better than joining this SL team.

Thanks. I didn't watch the first game so wasn't aware it is such an S-Show.

My problem with Cato wasn’t the Bob article which was obviously well written and researched considering the fallout. My problem is since that article Cato has turned every Mavs piece into an expose. Sometime I just want to hear about basketball. My second problem is Cato is obviously getting frozen out by the Mavs organization which means he no longer has an “inside scoop.” His articles are all regurgitated forum board discussions. So he doesn’t discuss basketball Xs and Os, and he doesn’t have the inside scoop. To be fair, it’s not just him. Most DFW sports journalists are mediocre.

If Green is over the jetlag and feels healthy he should be playing.

I say neh. This SL experience has more potential to wreck his confidence than build it. SL in general is typically thrown together with lack of practice time and chemistry.

To each their own... I don't care for Cato and the only thing I've found value in from him is actually from the article, the parts about Bob anyway.

It's prob a good thing you didn't watch it. Imagine a SL team getting embarrassed and routed by damn near 40pts for a while. Some local HS teams might have performed better tbh. Hopefully todays game is better.

Is it too late to sign Theodore Lasso? Dude knows nothing about basketball, but I hear he has a way with locker rooms.

Honestly, I have never liked Cuban and wasn’t upset that he was exposed in the least. However, I’ve never liked Cato’s writing.

Yikes fingers crossed Kidd is chilling out in his old age. I'm telling you right now I don't think Porzingis and Luka are going to respond to stupid mind games and ragging on lesser players. That's the shit that resulted in Carlisle leaving.

He is pretty much toast as Mavs Insider / Mavs writer etc. Better off hoping Donnie has a new job soon and writing about that team...

You are probably right that jealous was the wrong way to describe it, because his negative feelings seemed to be directed at Carlisle rather than Luka. He was mad or concerned that he was no longer the primary ball handler, though. I don’t think that was just a rumor.
If Kidd really wants him, then go get him, but I can see why they wouldn’t have any interest.

Yeah but its helping a lot of guys....all of these Summer League games are messy...if Josh Green is the player he's suppose to be then he should be out there and helping his game. Especially if guys like Bane or Bey are out there. b

I can believe he was upset about not being the primary ball handler...I Think it was harder for him to play without being that...I was hoping he'd have developed a consistent jumper by now.
And yeah its like some kind of wish on my part. I Admit. Loved him in college and loved him here. If they never go back which is what I expect I wouldn't really have a issue.

In theory it sounds logical. Did you watch that 1st game? All bets are off after that.

Maybe but there's no shortage of players that really like him, including many who were coached by him.

And you know Cuban loves hard nosed coaches since he is a great admirer of Bobby Knight.
It's far more concerning that Kidd didn't have a better record there. That's all I really care about. And frankly, winning is all anyone really cares about anyway.

Being a jerkoff for a coach might have something to do with that record. It’s not a coincidence Bud came in and took them from .500 to 60 wins. This isn’t college or high school basketball. That schtick is ridiculous for professional basketball.
Anecdotal? You could take all of Ricks bullshit and brush it off all the same. Our only hope is that Kidd has grown otherwise this will not end well. None of those reports of Kidds coaching and treatment of players will result in more wins. Only an idiot would think that works.

I will give Kidd the benefit of the doubt based on players contradicting the stories in the book, the fact that Kidd was endorsed by so many, and his tenure with the Lakers.

What contradictions? If you’re talking about the Android thing, you can go back through Thon Makers tweets during that year and he was using an android.
