Default Mavs off-season and draft 2023 thread

2.4% chance of keeping our first rounder and no second rounder so?there?s a chance

Teams 9-14 in the lottery have the same amount of losses. Even if Mavs managed to get 9th, could still land 11 and convey the pick.

The good news is they are tanking organically. That?s how bad the team is.

As I stated in another post? if we have the 10th worst record the only way we don?t keep our pick is if one of the teams with the 11th - 14th worst record leapfrogs us for a top 4 pick.

If we?re tied with another team, for example for the 10th / 11th worst records, and neither team moves up the lottery, a coin flip determines who gets the earlier pick.

Just tank baby.

We don?t have a 2.6% chance of keeping our pick?. Depending on our record, it is much closer to 80%.

Assuming no ties:

14th - 2.4% of keeping pick (all top 4)
13th - 4.79% of keeping the pick (all top 4)
12th - 7.12% of keeping the pick (all top 4)
------------------climb the ladder-------------------
11th - 9.41% chance of keeping pick (all top 4) - current position
------------------tank/fall further--------------------
10th - 79.78% chance of keeping our pick (13.88% chance of a top 4)
9th - 96.89% chance of keeping our pick (20.27% chance of a top 4)

=====================================
-----------10/11/12 tie - 32.10% chance of keeping pick
-----------10/11 tie - 44.6% chance of keeping pick
-----------9/10 tie - 88.34% chance of keeping pick

Of course, if we somehow end up keeping our pick (1-10), we still owe the Knicks 2024.

The worst possible scenario in my opinion is that we lose this pick to the Knicks, have no 1st/2nd round picks at all, lose talent this offseason, and still owe 2029 to the Nets unprotected so even if we tank, we can't keep that pick.

Best solution: tank hard to keep the pick, draft a big or defensive wing, SnT Kyrie or Luka for some role players and maybe a star-ish player, and get Luka some counseling to take care of his personal issues.

I agree 💯 with this

Should the mavs tank?


Tanking does not solve any of the team?s problems. Yes, they could add a top-ten pick to their roster, but he would likely need multiple years to develop. The pressure is on the Mavericks to win now. They cannot wait or Luka Doncic will be wearing a different uniform.

Dallas needs to make the 24-year-old?s partnership with Kyrie Irving work immediately. The superstar duo needs to work out the kinks on offense and play with max effort on the defensive end. That is the first key to breaking out of their slump. The Mavericks should also be in the market for a leader that can quarterback the defense next season.

Mavs are 10th after that loss. At ?best? they finish 9th. 8th is probably too tough to get with 7 games left. 9th I?d feel better about staying top 10.

Now what do they do with it? Probably nothing that would result in a positive but at least it doesn?t go to NY. I have no faith in Cuban.

Nico hit on his first pick, and my preference would be he use the pick unless we?re getting Mark Williams or Bam Adebayo in return. We need young hungry players on rookie contracts.

1 play in game does nothing for this team too. Wasted season. Losing the pick by trying to prolong the misery woukd be cherry on top.

Looking at the draft it seems loaded and we can?t live in this fantasy that Luka Kyrie is going to maximize together defensively. A play in game or missing the playoffs is not going to be the difference in whether Kyrie stays.

There won?t be a magic turnaround if they somehow got to a series either. This team is what they are. People said the same thing about Brooklyn. If they just get to a series they can upset a team. And they got swept instead.

100%. This is what we are. It's going to be a long offseason soon with lots of movement. Replacing Kyrie and Wood, finding a big. Praying Luka doesn't eat even worse when hea depressed. Waiting around all summer for Our FO to make an attempt to unfuck themselves.

Mavs will manage to convey the pick at 11 because our FO doesn't understand how this all works.

Mavs have a tough schedule to end it. It would really suck to come down to the game against San Antonio as our must lose to solidify a top-10 pick.

Big time matchups against the Pacers and Bulls will be the most important. HAVE to think the Jazz can win another 2-3 with Spurs, Nets, and Lakers x 2 left, but it looks like they are going the injury report route for tanking with some sus injuries/Outs.

Bulls and Lakers the true threats to drop more games than Mavs and drop down in standings. Will be a super intriguing end to this season either way lol

===========TANK STANDINGS=========
14th - 2.4% of keeping pick (all top 4)
13th - 4.79% of keeping the pick (all top 4)
12th - 7.12% of keeping the pick (all top 4)
11th - 9.41% chance of keeping pick (all top 4)
------------------climb the ladder-------------------
10th - 79.78% chance of keeping our pick (13.88% chance of a top 4)
------------------tank/fall further--------------------
9th - 96.89% chance of keeping our pick (20.27% chance of a top 4)
8th - 99.6% chance of keeping our pick (28.9% chance of a top 4)

================TIE SCENARIOS=====================
-----------10/11/12 tie - 32.10% chance of keeping pick
-----------10/11 tie - 44.6% chance of keeping pick
-----------9/10 tie - 88.34% chance of keeping pick

================STANDINGS================
7th - Washington/Indiana. -3.0 games (unlikely)
8th - Washington/Indiana. -3.0 games (unlikely)
9th - Jazz -0.5games
10th - MAVS
11th - Bulls +0.5games
12th - Thunder/Raptors/Hawks +1.0 games
13th - Thunder/Raptors/Hawks +1.0 games
14th - Thunder/Raptors/Hawks +1.0 games

We are within 0.5 games of moving up to 9th in draft odds. Sadly, we are also only one game back for 14th. (11th-14th would almost certainly lose us the pick). 7th/8th is almost statistically impossible with seven (7) games left.

If Mavs went 0-7 and Pacers/Wizards went 4-3 it could happen.

Pacers are 2-5 in last 7 and play the Bucks, Thunder, Cavs, and NYK twice
Wizards are 2-5 in last 7 too and play the Celtics, Knicks, Bucks and Heat.

Wrong, OKC owns the tie breaker. And they likely sat SGA as the front end of a B2B. OKC would be foolish not to start getting some playoff experience for SGA, who I think is knocking at the door of being a top player in the league. They already have Chet coming next year with plenty of draft capital. Don't see them punting this season, though I could easily be wrong.

Edit: btw, wish our FO could see the value in grabbing really productive college players in the 2nd. Isaiah Joe has been killing it and his shooting alone would have found him a role here. I'm an Arkansas homer, but that's a couple of times now the Mavs should have taken the obvious pick, with Bobby Portis being the other time.

they could just as easily land at 12 now that they are tied with okc, nba does coin flips or a drawing for tiebreakers, not head to head records

Pretty sure that was only for top 10? I could be wrong...

Edit: yep, I stand corrected. Looks like they do it through all 14 lottery picks. Call me grumpy, but really fucking stupid they apply one way of tie breaking for playoffs and another for this...no consistency, though I guess their thought was it might detract tanking, which you'd have to reallllly convince me it does anything to that effect.

Both teams are half game ahead in draft order.

Incredibly true.. Not sure why an inept FO and owner expects fans to stick with a complete rebuild if they trade Luka as Erica and others are asking for. I would follow Luka to another team and celebrate when he wins a ring elsewhere. F Cuban et al

Bulls win today.

If Mavs lose to bulls very good chance to get 10 spot in the draft.

Tonight is a must lose against the Hawks. Powell is starting again, so I think they get it.

Tanking does not solve any of the team?s problems. Yes, they could add a top-ten pick to their roster, but he would likely need multiple years to develop. The pressure is on the Mavericks to win now. They cannot wait or Luka Doncic will be wearing a different uniform.
It's not like the Mavs don't have a lot of dead weight on the roster to let a top 10 pick develop. Who knows who might fall. They could probably bring in a couple of players from the draft if they had the picks.

How many of the following would you want back. I'd like to keep wood but seems not in the cards.

Powell - FA

Wood- FA - Any value in S&T if not returning?

Bullock, Bertans, THJ - Maybe Bertans dead weight but not other 2 All 3 should be shopped for similar caliber players to improve defense in frontcourt

McGee - Hopefully, add in to trade to help match salary

Frank N. - like him but he didn't improve

Pinson - don't get why he sucks up roster psot

Morris - Bye Bye

Per Shams: Mavs are considering sitting Luka and Kyrie for the remaining games.

Tank. Hope you get your draft pick. I think Shams said they can package 3 future first rounders to try and improve the roster?

Keep Kyrie, Holiday, Pinson, and Powell.

Let Morris and Frank walk.

Try to S&T Wood. Try to trade THJ, Bertans, and McGee.

Right. F DP. Zero interest in him, Bullock, Maxi, and THJ.

Do you want to know what we want to happen or what we think will happen?

I get the instinct to get rid of Powell (and Pinson, for that matter). I think some continuity is important and those two specifically are culture guys and borderline assistant coaches that any team could use. If they re-sign for the minimum as 12th/13th man, I'd like them back.
