Yogi is a great value find and plays with a lot of heart. I still can't get over his lack of size when I watch him play. He's a nice backup, but I wouldn't hesitate to move him in the right deal. Probably has decent value. He's basically a younger JJB with less playmaking and better defense. Great to have on a championship squad, but the Mavs aren't good and need difference makers.

I'm still undecided about Randle until he comes off his rookie salary. For a guy making $4 mill this year and $5.5 next year that can give you the random game like he did, that's pretty nice. He's playing fewer minutes this year but his points are the same and percentage has gone up quite a bit. But then there is no doubt that is a bonehead. If we could get him on a cheap contract, I actually wouldn't mind it. Plus I don't see us getting anything of value for Noel.

I mean, he hasn't had a coach like Carlisle yet in the pros and is only 23 years old, is he un-coachable? I'd take the chance. He's at least playing hard, something Noel didn't seem interested in doing.

Randle's upside is much higher than Noel's. That is a big reason to give it a chance.

Still not convinced that the Mavs take on Deng though. Lakers would have to give up a lot for that to happen.

No way would I take on Deng for Randle. I’d like to see them trade for Randle but not at that cost. If I’m taking on Deng I’d want Ingram or one of those two rookies (Ball/Kuzma).

This is such an odd stretch of schedule- seems like we have like two games in 10 days?

I would *probably* trade Nerlens for Randle just because Nerlens has zero value to us, but do we really want to take on Randle and pay him $20M+/year?

DevinHarriswillstart · 01-15-2018, 08:22 PM

In his last 8 games @Dennis1SmithJr is averaging 17.3 pts 6 assists 4 rebs 1.4 steals shooting 42 % from the field and 40% from 3 #NBAVOTE

Memphis, Charlotte, Chicago, ATL all won. Sac leading early against OKC.

Where do you get $20M+ per year? He's still on his rookie contract at $4.1 this year and QO of $5.5 next year. His stats are ok at 13.2pp and 7.2reb but with 2.4tov, I don't see him getting a team to offer him that kind of money. Then if they do, let him walk. Unless there are better offers, turning Noel into a starting big that gives 20-24 mpg and has the chance to have explosive nights (both good and bad), it sounds reasonable to me.

I have not seen anything negative about Randle's desire to work on his game or play hard during the season. The only thing I've seen is that he is not that high in BBIQ. Maybe RC and Granpa Dirk can coach him along a little.
