Poeltl wanted Toronto.
Maybe we couldn?t have him
Rumor is we?ll get the expiring Noel after he gets his team option. McGee for him?

If Kyrie bolts, then this will look bad. Two firsts for Dorian is a no-brainer.

Yea, which is why it's highly doubtful. He's not worth that, arguably even one 1st.

I unfortunately had Fish show up on my TL so I think the sourcing may be related to him. I don't hate it, but he just seemingly can't stay on the court.
Kevin Love seeking buyout. Would absolutely not help the defense but would provide rebounding and shooting. Don't think we can sell the PT he wants here, though. Powell should be an all-star alternate according to Kidd.

Looks like Kevin Love will get a buyout. I anticipate there to be great interest around the league for his services. Mavs should get in on the "bidding" because at least he is still rebounding the basketball. You wouldn't be getting much defense, but it would be worth waiving Frank, Pinson, or Lawson (I doubt Cuban will let Pinson go..great locker room guy...Pinson and Powell are untouchable...Mavs will not trade them and no one wants them) to help with the rebounding. He would also give you another scoring threat when the rest of the team goes cold.

League sources say that Detroit Pistons center Nerlens Noel has not actively pursued a buyout to this point but would generate interest from various playoff-bound teams should he be waived by the Pistons by 11:59 PM ET on March 1. The Pistons were widely expected to trade Noel before the Feb. 9 trade deadline. ? via Marc Stein @ marcstein.substack.com

Noel would be welcome as I don't see many other ways to improve our bigs situation. But I could also see Detroit exercising his team option and leveraging him in a trade as salary filler and an expiring.

Rumors have been Miami is interested in:
Westbrook
Ibaka
Love
In the end, it will be up to Love as to where he wants to sign and I have not seen anything suggesting he has already made up his mind. That being said, I am not at all optimistic he would end up a Mav for the remainder of the season. He's a California boy, so I would not be surprised if he signs with the Lakers, Clippers, Kings, or Warriors (assuming they are interested in him).

I just don't think Noel is much better than Javale. Not enough to warrant a center position that Kidd still can't figure out. We'd have Powell, Javale, Maxi, and Wood plus Noel. Plus Morris. Too crowded.
It's funny how we focus so much on Wood, and yet Javale has largely gotten the shaft. Yes, he is dumb as a rock and misses assignments, but he is our only true center. When his head is straight, then he is still usable.

I know it's still a lot of games left to play but man when you watch the Suns and Clippers tonight you can clearly see the amount of depth these two teams will have around their star players.
I'm not even sure how the hell the clippers managed to get all the talent they have on their roster.
I mean they got some backup players who could legitimately start in Dallas . Both teams are still solid defensively.
Mavs best chance of getting out the 1st round might be playing vs Sacramento because if they draw Phoenix or LA as of right now I'd say they are toast

Bro the Clippers have a guy on their 3 deep who could threaten playing time here in RoCo.
I'm not as concerned with the Suns as I still don't think they will play enough defense in the playoffs to win it all. They're one injury away from being way worse than last season, especially if that is KD.
But alas, the Mavs have the same issue with defense. I think our depth should be fine as once you get to the playoffs. Come then, you better have a button tight rotation. Luka, Kyrie, Green, Maxi, THJ, Wood, Powell, Bullock, Holiday would be my choice as main rotation with VERY spot minutes to Hardy (unless he can take a step forward over these last 22 games), Bertans, and McGee (same caveat with Hardy). Basically, if fully healthy, there's no way a playoff team would give guys like McKinley, Pinson, Ntilikina, Lawson, etc. any decent number of minutes.

I agree, but with one caveat. If Maxi is not able to play significant minutes or if goes down again with an injury (reinjury), then their depth is very much depleted. This is why Kidd needs to play Morris and/or they should make a play for Love. I just don't feel like we can depend on Kleber to stay healthy.

Also, what happened to AL Farouq Aminu? I think he's still available and better than Pinson, Lawson, and Frank.

If I?m the Mavs I take a hard look at bringing in Kris Dunn. He?s always been a fantastic defender and has spent time in the G league honing his jumper and getting healthy. He definitely looks like an NBA player to me.

Kidd won't play him. Kidd is the problem when it comes to bigs.
Love to have him because he is actually semi-decent.

At the ASB (last year)
30th - Total rebounds (24th last year)
30th - rebound % (16th last year)
8th - offensive rating (5th last year)
24th in defensive rating (7th last year)
Record after 60 games
This year - 31-29 (.516)
Last year 35-25 (.583)
Looks like Kidd has us playing worse by every metric

Mavs should just bring back Saleh Mejri who's now a UFC fighter. (or something along those lines) He could be the enforcer that this team direly needs!

Maxi is not going to solve all of our issues but he is going to tighten us up a bit defensively. No idea how long it takes him to round back into form but adding him will be better than anyone we could sign off buyouts.
The team isn't going to have practice time before we crank back up but we need to grind on some actual plays that we've had success with. Luka and Kyrie need some go-to action that they can lean on to get better looks before we are reduced to 1v1 late shot clock.
We have to keep guards from blowing by us and I'm not sure it's possible with Luka out top. There's too many easy buckets for teams and even with rim protection, the composing big can slide over for put backs or easy rebounds. I'm beyond sick of watching possessions end with bigs getting offensive rebounds and scoring at the rim or kicking it out for open looks. Our bigs have to chase guards into the paint and then they over extend themselves dgoing for blocks leaving Offensive rebounds.
We HAVE to use Javale more and tell his ass to stay home and not completely sell out for blocks.

A Chicago NBC sports guy, K.C. Johnson, thinks Dragic may get bought out. Doubt the Mavs would be interested, but they should be..I still think his presence on the team would help Luka. For example, he would likely be a calming influence that might help reduce the number of technical fouls Doncic accumulates over the next 20+ games. Mavs cannot afford to have Luka suspended with every game being important. Mavs have three guys (maybe more) just taking up space: Lawson, Pinson, and Frank. They have little or no value (I take that back Pinson is a great cheerleader) so its time to move on. I also think adding Dieng or Faried makes more sense than hanging on to any in this threesome. I cannot imagine any of those three (Lawson, Pinson, Frank) being in the long-term plans of the Mavs so its time to make any move you can to improve the roster for the playoffs (assuming they make the playoffs).
If the Bulls don?t add Russell Westbrook, John Wall and Patrick Beverley are names to keep in mind. The Bulls will need to waive a player to create a roster spot, and their current focus calls into question the future of Goran Dragic.

Interest that Faried?s name get tossed around here so much, but I haven?t seen his name mentioned anywhere else. Is he even looking to make a comeback? Is he playing overseas somewhere? I understand this team badly needs rebounding, but I?m not so sure a guy who has been out of the league for several years is the answer.

Our FTs may be TOO good with Kyrie. We may need Goran to bring them back up.
Kidding! He doesn't have too much in the tank, but neither did Boban and I loved him here because it made Luka happy.
Honestly can't be worse than watching Kidd force Luka to be the off-guard and then playing FRANK as our PG.

What's up with Whiteside?
Is he that washed up?
Only 33 and would seem to help solve some of our problems.

Horrible defender, but I'm down for any big man help.
Is Kidd?

The Frank experience has ran its course with every sane fan. Dragic would be better.

Mavs can only promise Dragic a role behind Mckinley Wright.
