The Mavs really need to seek out trades for Harris and JJ. Both guys are playing great this year off the bench and are dangerously close to ruining the Mavs tank season.

I mean I love having those guys on the team if your trying to win. It this team needs to lose again for at least this season in order to get one of those top 4 players (not including Porter here).

Plus I’d like to see Harris and JJ have another shot at winning. Both guys play with a ton of heart and would be a great addition to any playoff teams bench. Harris in Golden State? JJ in Cleveland?

BPo001 · 12-09-2017, 11:25 AM

I could see the Mavs trading one of them (Harris), but not both. I'd hate to see either go because of their leadership, professionalism, and ability to mentor the young guys, but neither fit the long term plans and I'm sure either could net us a draft pick.

Is Curry going to play this year?

I still get a kick out of Spurs fans calling anyone dirty with that god awful Bowen jersey retired in their rafters.

This guy rarely ever tweets about the Mavs, so I'm guessing he strongly agrees with this article...

@MFollowill: Announced tonight, Derek Harper jersey retirement night is January 7th. Harp's #12 joins Ro Blackman (#22) and Brad Davis (#15) as Mavs retired numbers. Harp is the Mavs all time leader in assists & steals, 3rd in games, 4th in points

New jersey? Hope this is a joke. Those are awful.

Edit: most of the rest of the leagues new jerseys. They aren't even their teams colors for a lot of the teams.

Mavs’ Seth Curry was counting on breakout season. Here’s why it’s been ‘very frustrating’

early In the season when they were saying week-to-week, I thought he’d be out until January. Now I’m starting to think that he won’t be back this season.

DevinHarriswillstart · 01-03-2018, 09:35 AM

It's been so long that I can't remember what is wrong with Curry.

Right? He can't even do full workouts, which means I highly doubt he's sniffed 5 on 5 practices at best. Still resorting to running in the pool. Crazy injury, but perhaps it secures Curry past this season? I still think he's an excellent piece to have, if only for a bench role. But I think his upside could be more...

Yeah it may make him cheap this offseason. I figured playing next to Smith he'd average 20-25points and make us a contender, but he'd get an offer for 14-20 mill this summer. The injury could mean he's cheap.

Some players never come back from leg/knee injuries, but at the very least jump-shooting is one of the least leg-intensive things they do. Players can go off of one leg, adjust their leg work, etc. and if their fundamentals are good in the core and arms area, then it's a fairly easy adjustment to get back to being a sharpshooter. If Curry comes back, I'd bet he can still hit a wicked three pointer and that's hopefully all he'll be asked to do with Smith running things.

I don't watch much adult entertainment, but I may have seen that movie in the adult section of Blockbuster.

Those are high expectations. Not saying he could do it, but I'd be happy with an increase to 16-18 ppg for Curry. All I wanted to see was improvement from him and I would have locked him up for 3-4 years. I see him as more of a $10mm per year. But yes, if he had the crazy 20-25 ppg break out season, he'd easily land in that range you suggested.

JJB - status/update
Steve Nash (7x), John Stockton (7x), Chris Paul (3x), Mark Jackson, Magic Johnson, Jason Kidd and Deron Williams are the only players who had full seasons with as high a 3-point percentage and assist percentage as J.J. Barea has this season.

Someone will offer something that the Mavs can't turn down, right? JJ would be an excellent add to a contender.

Underdog · 01-10-2018, 06:49 PM

@bobbykaralla: Mavs have officially been awarded Jalen Jones off waivers and have waived Kyle Collinsworth. Rick Carlisle suggested to reporters that Collinsworth will be back on a 10-day.

@ESefko: "There's a very good chance he could be back with us on a 10-day sooner than later." Rick Carlisle on Kyle Collinsworth. On Jalen Jones: "He's an athletic wing player with lots of upside. From what I understand this is a futures move, to develop him."

@BallinWithBryan: The Mavs have made the acquisition of Jalen Jones official. Jones will wear No. 21 for the Mavs.

Bryan_Wilson · 01-10-2018, 07:03 PM

Another wing who can't shoot. Well here's to hoping I suppose. As an aggie fan I don't trust aggie bball players. Especially considering the only one who left any lasting memory with me was Acie Law.... whose best career game was prolly aganst the Mavs, cuz hey, that's what we do.

SMC0007 · 01-10-2018, 07:09 PM

Prediction. If he ever plays.. He comes in hits a 3 and plays well. Goes to the bench and then we later release him for the next futures move

BPo001 · 01-10-2018, 08:31 PM

What's up with DFS? Is that dude going to play this season?

@ESefko: It will be February before Seth Curry, Dorian Finley-Smith and Nerlens Noel are back on practice floor. Noel on track 2 return 1st-early Feb

Rick just said Curry will play sometime in 2018: "hopefully sometime after the All-Star break, but if not, he'll be ready for the fall."

I can't tell when he's joking, but he did not seem like he was joking.

Another two year deal with a team option on the second. Come on back, Seth.
