Hopefully kidd plays Gafford

What excites me:
1) Luka/Kyrie/Green/PJ can all score on the drive and can all pass and they'll always have Lively or Gafford to catch lobs so bigs don't collapse on the drive without consequence. Strangely lob threats make drives easier.
2) PJ Can put up 40+ pts and isn't as hesitant as GWill.
|
PJ has several inches more WS and a he'll of a lot more vertical leap than Williams.
Also faster and more athletic.
IF he plays within his role he will be fine.

I have a soft spot for DSJ the same way people have one for DFS. Would love it if we could get him.

I have nothing for DFS but will always have one for Dennis. He?s a much better player now too. One guy I wish would?ve worked out here.

If Powell continues to get minutes with Gafford and lively here I'm going to riot 😂
They love Powell so we all better keep our fingers crossed he gets glued to the bench

DSj is honesty perfect here.
Elite defense on guards, which is something we struggle with. Rebounds well for his size and more than anything always brings energy which is something we?ve lacked. He doesn?t score that well but if he?s playing next to Luka, all he needs to do is contain the opposing guard and make teams pay for doubles/cheats

I think you both might be looking at this the wrong way.
What if Gafford plays over Lively?

I think they tried to get something for him he?s not that far removed from coming into the league. They started him last night I guess to showcase him and no one bit. Looked ok too. Sasser already passed him up he looks like a nice find.

I assumed he would. I assumed Gafford was gonna start he?s a legit 5 in this league. Pj can play some 5 too so gonna be interesting to see how these rotations go.

Grant is around 6"3 if you go back to his college days listing at Tennessee, not sure how he was getting listed at 6'6. He's unathletic and chunky. I dont have a doubt PJ can play better defense than Grant. He can also catch balls near the rim and dunk.
PJ does like the catch and shoot 3, I would expect a 36-37%. Im cautiously optimistic, i think he will do what we thought Grant could do

How we feeling with guards?
With Exum healthy and Green coming on strong (17-6-3 on 56/50/100 in February) do we need a guard? Will Exum ever be healthy again, though?

I'd trade Hardy for Smith jr if I knew he could stay healthy, but he always seems to get hurt.

True he does have his injury problems that seem to plague him every season

ThJ and Hardy are ok backups for now. Exum is icing.
Id love to move Thj and Maxi for a guard/wing who can do more thanj Thj. Bruce Brown woukd be cool.

I'm a bit afraid of what we had to give up. Teams don't give up firsts willy nilly.

If true, what terrible development.

I am too, but overall I am very happy with this trade deadline. Losing a FRP does suck, but we upgraded not one but two spots on the roster. We desperately needed frontcourt depth. It's been our Achilles' heel all season. Getting a quality backup 5 is a real game changer, so we're not completely f***ed whenever Lively is not on the floor. I still would like some more size at the 4, but other than that, I think we have a pretty solid roster all around now.
Man, it's a really nice feeling to feel like the Mavs are a well-run organization. I don't remember the last time I felt that way.

I'm not finding anything on what we had to give up. Did OKC really have too many picks that they just gave us one for free? I have nothing substantial on that front, but, if true, then Nico catapults to the top of GMs.

Mavs Film Room 🐴🎥
@MavsFilmRoom
The Mavs are swapping their 2028 1st with OKC?s 2028 1st to acquire the 2024 1st that will be rerouted to Washington
That clears things up... LOL

Yeah, so we've traded or swapped 27, 28, 29, 30.
Better hope this team works out...

Just read where Raptors are going to waive Dinwiddie...if true would be a good pick up for the Mavs after trading Seth.

Gafford costing a first doesn't surpise me. Centers are in high demand. Gotta pay the current rate I'm afraid.
