Brunson solid pick so we are obviously addressing center in FA or trade.

Underdog · 06-21-2018, 09:59 PM

Brunson? Well, I guess we’re set on guards...

Nobody. Conjecture on my part from an earlier comment I made about the Mavs possibly trying to trade for it in order to free up 76'er money for a Lebron offer.

EricaLubarsky · 06-21-2018, 09:59 PM

Why Brunson?

DevinHarriswillstart · 06-21-2018, 10:00 PM

Not crazy about Brunson. Like that he is a competitor, but his athleticism and quickness are nil.

Underdog · 06-21-2018, 10:00 PM

Kinda bummed we passed on Mitch Robinson...

mac222b · 06-21-2018, 10:01 PM

Wait so do we have Brunson or Graham. Those idiots did not clarify what was going on

mac222b · 06-21-2018, 10:02 PM

And Brunson, yuck. No upside if he’s our guy

Or Gary Trent, but I guess we have no idea what the lineup will look like.

EricaLubarsky · 06-21-2018, 10:02 PM

Smith, Barea, Brunson, Yogi.

Maybe some Curry and Doncic

We got our 6 PGs. Now for the SG position

Bryan_Wilson · 06-21-2018, 10:02 PM

Yogi replacement?

It's Brunson. we lost the coinflip so we pick ahead of the Hawks in the 2nd round

satrekker · 06-21-2018, 10:03 PM

Not a fan of Brunson pick. Another guard? Really? I can't believe I wasted my time staying up for a guard pick in the 2nd. SMH GRRRRRR!

Mavericks Rockets Fan · 06-21-2018, 10:05 PM

Speaking of Mitch, he goes to the Knicks

Rick's dream roster - 2 completely different 3 guard lineups. :-O

EricaLubarsky · 06-21-2018, 10:05 PM

Powell/ Dirk/ Kleber/ Motley
???/ ??? /???
Doncic/ Barnes/ McDermott/DFS
Matthews/ ???/ ???
Smith/Barea/ Brunson

Dtownsfinest · 06-21-2018, 10:07 PM

I was really hoping for Gary Trent....

I hate it as much as you but it looks like Rick will play Barnes at PF....better get a damn good rebounding/shot-blocking center.

SMC0007 · 06-21-2018, 10:10 PM

Are we moving Brunson? No offense, he is a baller but jesus someones got to go furr surre.

Definitely think we screwed the pooch on the 33rd pick. A slow, can't play defense pg makes no sense.

And on queue Rick provides the quote

Carlisle: "I never think you can have too many playmakers on a team."

Doncic is our starting center this year confirmed

Bryan_Wilson · 06-21-2018, 10:11 PM

I actually like Brunson a lot as a backup pg who can knock down shots and play efficiently. But a guard or 2 has to go.

BPo001 · 06-21-2018, 10:11 PM

I like Brunson as a player, but not sure he really fits a need for us. Would rather take a chance on a long athletic guy like Melvin Frazier. Clearly the FO has additional moves in mind. Anticlimactic night considering all the trade talk the Mavs were involved in predraft. Guess the FO would rather chase free agents with our cap space than acquire shit contracts + assets.

I cant see Rick going back to what he even considered a failed experiment.

Alls I know is I'm going to lose my fucking mind if we go back to small ball. I'll start the fire Rick thread myself.

I think we’re all in on Antoine “Boogie” Walker

Plus Barnes and McDermott may be PFs this year despite him trying to force it last year and admitting it failed

BPo001 · 06-21-2018, 10:13 PM

Just watching the highlights on this Mitchell Robinson kid. Almost wished we would have taken a chance on him over Brunson. We have been waiting on a long athletic center.

Much as he’s a sweet kid, I hope Ferrell leaves

Same.

rimrocker · 06-21-2018, 10:19 PM

Not sure what Yogi will get in FA but obviously the FO wants to save that cap space for something.

Yeah, there’s a good chance he ends up being one of the best centers in the draft... Still don’t get the Brunson pick, he just doesn’t fit our needs.

SMC0007 · 06-21-2018, 10:20 PM

I like Ferrell too but someone has to go now. I just wonder how much longer JJB can go.

EricaLubarsky · 06-21-2018, 10:23 PM

Dang Diop falling harder than MPJ

EricaLubarsky · 06-21-2018, 10:25 PM

10 more picks until us

Skywalker · 06-21-2018, 10:32 PM

We have another pick?

Ugh.... Can’t believe Bates-Diop was almost there for us. Hoping we take Brandon McCoy.
