Mavs off-season and draft 2023 thread

A reminder that the Mavs still make some iffy FA decisions.

Bullock was pretty good his first year with us. He just fell off a cliff last year.

Stein:

Lively is a starter unless he messes up

Josh Green is looking like he deserves the big bucks. That?s a story to follow, although unlike Brunson, Green would be a RFA

Portland has no interest in the packages we can offer for Jrue

This will never happen here. Kidd has too many crutches. You have to literally take them away from him or he will over use them. DP and THJ will be in the same role

Jrue to Boston for Brogdon and multiple picks

People were criticizing Portland but that?s a great haul.

Deandre Ayton
Robert Williams
Malcolm Brogdon
Toumani Camara
2024 GSW 1st
2029 BOS 1st
2029 MIL 1st
?28 & ?30 MIL Swap

Wonder if we can snipe Robert Williams

[BPo001]

Damn Boston going to be tough if KP can stay healthy for a playoff run. I agree that?s a good haul for Portland. Can they still move Brogdon?

Just what I was thinking, but maybe Cronin is still sour from our Thybuille offer.

Unfortunately I think he fits the new Blazer timeline so they are probably keeping him unless blown away by an offer

I would wager that Brogdon will be back on the move. At 30 he doesn't meet their timeline and he could maybe net a FRP or a couple of SRPs.

Williams? He's only 25, great contract, and would be an excellent backup to Ayton. I'm not entirely sure they will shop him.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

I mean, it's hard to predict any season, but it's hard to see the Mavs as any sort of contender.

I'm ok with that as long as we develop the young guys. Green, Hardy, Omax, and Lively all need to see heavy minutes.

[EricaLubarsky]

Ayton (25)/ Williams (25)/ Brown (23)
Grant (29) / Camara (23)
Sharpe (20)/ Thybulle (26)
Simons (24)/ Rupert (19)
Scoot (19)

That is a sneaky good and young core and they have a ton of picks in the next six years too. Nico may have competition for GM of the year.

[EricaLubarsky]

WOj just now says that there is "no chance" Williams will be on the move.

Really depends on what you mean by "contender"

Are they winning a championship this year? I wouldn't bet more than $20 on that.

Do they have a good chance of getting to the playoffs and maybe even getting to the second round? I'd wager $100 on that and that would be a huge success.

If we get 48-50 wins and play some playoff basketball with our young guys continuing to improve, then we are back in the playoffs and the youth and chemistry is what defines success and gives us that forward momentum.

[EricaLubarsky]

Ha! Embiid is commenting on the offseason. Sixers are collapsing in slow motion. If you gave me decent odds I would bet $50 on Embiid being traded in the next year.

[EricaLubarsky]

Also F the Heat. Acted like the same entitled brats that we played in 2011 all summer pretending like they had the best offer. Jimmy Butler whining about tampering, when that is all he does all day.

Portland just made Heat's two biggest rivals in the Celtics and Bucks significantly better while the Heat just gets older.

Can Payne gets a ring before Booker. Delicious

[Melonhead]

Nobody wanted Bullock from Spurs, the released him and he cleared waivers.

Just goes to show how barely put together this team was regarding starters. Will always remember his contribution to the WCF run.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Bullock joined the Rockets. Good luck with that.
