I would ask for it too. Otherwise the Mavs get the double win. They're better and a rival gets worse

Apparently we don't want to help them at all

Tim MacMahon ‏@espn_macmahon 2 hours ago
Mavs source doubts 3-way SNT that would send Roy Hibbert to Clips happens. Indy working other deals. Mavs not motivated to help LA.

[rimrocker]

I think Parsons has become the clear leader of this team and will deliver.

How much will We have left to spend on a pg and bench?

According to how the sign and trades work out (if they do).

Either nothing or a very small amount

[Melonhead]

Cuban hanging with Parsons, RJ, and others at manhattan beach bar so safe to assume RJ will be back next year.

Come on CV, Barea, come on back to dallas

[bunkmoreland]

If we can send out Felton, we have a little bit of room to sing the PG, not sure exactly how much.

[rimrocker]

We need to find a place in Dallas to meet tonight to celebrate

[rimrocker]

Is it possible to S&T Rondo now (going over the cap) for, if nothing else, a trade exception?
That would at least give us something to trade between now and TDL.

[mavs777]

Check Eric Pincus for some good stuff about potential deandre 3 way trade, more complicated than originally thought

[Melonhead]

Lets all meet at the sportsbooks in Las Vegas and throw down on Mavs future champs!

[rimrocker]

Wonder if Matthews was the tipping point for Jordan.

Pretty sure Matthews had some indication DJ was coming or he would've taken the Kings offer.

I don't know what our books look like but........can we go after Kevin Durant next year? I'm just trying to envision the future.

With the salary cap increase, almost everybody has the money for Durant next year. He can go wherever he wants.

Awesome. I think we just became a really attractive option for free agents with these two signings.

[howdoesmydirktaste]

We may very well look back on this day and declare this the day the franchise was saved. Think about what would have happened if we screwed this up? Not saying it's necessarily going to get us a championships, but we are going to get bad ass basketball for the next 4 years.

[rabbitproof]

Ironically, we are the second rounder / undrafted team.

DeAndre
Parsons
Matthews

Maybe Lin.

Somebody I heard on ESPN radio was calling the Mavs "Team 3rd Wheel."
All 3 of those guys were in the shadow of two other players and come to Dallas looking for a little more.

[yahyes]

Well, looks like Deandre's stuck..



Smart move not signing with Dallas.

Safe to say if we had DJ, we would've beat OKC. YEAH I SAID IT. *ok maybe took it to 7*

I actually agree. We had momentum from our veteran players. We'd go on a run but our lack of interior defense and rebounding killed us. A Jordan-type would have put us over the top

And Clippers still lose either way

They're a mess now. paul always chokes or gets hurt. griffin always gets hurt now. He has since he got drafted. The owner seems like he doesn't know what to do. And doc rivers sucks along with deandre. LOVE IT!

[sefant77]

Paul is going to cry his way out (again) and join his banana boat buddy in Cleveland. GM Lebron is kicking Irving out, watch our for this trade in july

Yeah right, paul is just as weak as brandon roy. Looks like the clippers are stuck with him. Best part is they traded shit loads of future picks and cap. No way other teams are going to trade with them. They'll be just be like the lakers right now. While hoping deandre can make free throws lol

[sefant77]

Yeah not really smart, Chandsome...im pretty sure Dirk loves that your buddy screwed the entire franchise in one of his last years in the league.

In a way it's good that he doesn't burn bridges with players since he helps recruiting.

...but that's terrible tact. Why potentially piss off the entire fan base by doing that?

I don't see a lot of harm in what he did and agree it's probably better in the long-term if he continues to connect with these guys. Jordan will most likely still be relevant when his contract comes up and might be the piece we need.

Tasteless? Yeah.... but don't think it is something that should keep Cuban from resigning him.

There is absolutely no reason to post it on Instagram so the whole world can see it. He definitely had the intention to piss of mavs fans doing this cause he knows he's signing a contract with the Orlando Magic or Brooklyn Nets in the summer. Both desperate franchises with no intention of winning willing to give Max contracts to average at best players.

Goodbye Parsons. Thanks for proving me right that we should have kept Monta Ellis over you. I was right from the beginning on both mavs forum. Just admit guys I was right and you were wrong

The people here don't like Monta. He's too "low BBIQ" for "top level" Mavs fans.

Put away the crack my friend, it's not good for ya. He was never that impressive. His efficiency has been about the same for half a decade now. He's just older, slower, a poor finisher and jacking up way too many shots from downtown at a horrible shooting percentage. He can't get to the rim that often anymore due to fading speed. And his defense is not existing.

His biggest problem though is that he believes he is better than he really is.

With that I'm pretty much sold that Anderson can take his starting position at SF. Especially if it's thinking about overpaying him this time around.

The problem is that rebuilding would probably have to be the strategy if Anderson becomes our starting SF. We most likely wouldn't attract any star quality FAs with Anderson. Our only hope if we don't resign Parsons is to hope two star players want to pair up to come to Dallas but that is very unlikely with Anderson, Barea, Matthews and a 38yo Dirk as our main selling points.

At this point I think Parsons is our best hope at luring a decent FA to Dallas.

[FreshJive]

After reading this, I have a feeling someone is going to offer Parsons more than the Mavs are willing to pay.

“Certainly, he’s a young player in his prime with upside, but those are conversations that I think we’ll have at the right time,” Nelson said when asked about Parsons’ future in Dallas. “He’s been a big part of the fabric that we’ve built here. But again, it’s a question of how many dollars and injury status and things like that. So, I think we just need to sit down, get past an emotional moment and have those conversations in due process.

“It’s part of the discussions. You know, there are issues and there is a situation there. It’s not that it’s unmanageable, but it’s just that it affects things. … Again, we’ll have those conversations at the right time, but we’d certainly like to have Parsons continue his stint with the Mavericks. He’s a young player with upside, is getting better and works great in our system, so we’ll look forward to those conversations at the right time.”
