Mavs off-season and draft 2023 thread

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Coulda had Leonard Miller, but Nico really couldn't have done better otherwise.

[Dtownsfinest]

I love Richaun Holmes game. It?s crazy this team has been picking up players I like starting with Christian Wood and that didn?t work out. Holmes is another guy I always liked. This Mavs team got extremely better in a day.

[Melonhead]

What did we send back?

Took a bathroom break from Spider-Man and wasn?t expecting Holmes!

[blessednegr0]

I am 36 years old and this is literally the best draft I have ever witnessed. Holy hell. We went from a lot of weaknesses to being able to make some major moves in the span of a week. Davis Bertans got us Lively, Holmes, OMax.... Un effing believable day for the Mavericks. I am curious what we gave up for Holmes and the pick though. Is it just TPE?

[tap2390]

Nico is a GOD.

[tap2390]

Holy shit what a night to be a Mavs fan.

Either it will be rolled into the other trade or we are just using the TPE

I agree man! I don't post here often, I normally just read unless it's playoff time but my GOD! If there ever was a plan powder... This was it.

Tank, secure our pick. Trade back, still get the guy you want and will help the Mavericks. Flip the TPE into a SOLID center and get another first round pick lol. I can't believe what I just witnessed.

[blessednegr0]

If they find a way to keep the TPE, I will be at a loss for words.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Getting 12/24 for Bertans and the 10th pick is as good as you could have imagined. I'm not as big on Prosper, but I know some like him.

Man, what happened to Leonard Miller? Must have really sucked in workouts.

[EricaLubarsky]

Best news of tonight:

MLE for Grant Williams
Starting PF and DFS replacement
Richaun Holmes as backup 4/5
Tyson Chandler starter kit
No more Powell starting

80% of TPE was Holmes

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Minny got Miller at 33. Total steal there.

[tap2390]

12/ 24/ Holmes for 10/ Bertans.... don't think I could have drawn that up any better in 2K

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Who woulda thought we would stick to building through the draft and not trading for vets? Finally learning...

[tap2390]

OMP had:

-the fourth fastest lane agility time at the combine;
-the third fastest shuttle run;
-the second highest standing vertical leap; and
-the third highest max vertical leap

Haha maybe Cuban's upcoming Kyrie bill changed his mind about the draft.

Shocked they didn?t. They seemed set on doing so.

And amount of outgoing picks ahead

[sig]

I probabaly would of taken Miller or TJD over Prosper but Prosper is legity prospect whose scouting report sounds like DFS. I'd try to get H Barnes before G. Williams.

[EricaLubarsky]

Cmon TJD

OMax is way better for us. Better defense. Moves without the ball. Rebounds as well.

The only things Millet do better are things we don?t need like handling the ball.

Prosper is an upgrade on DFS. Miller is an Odom starter kit.

[EricaLubarsky]

Rebounding was the difference between lottery and 5th

We did that AND addressed man defense, team defense, steals, and blocks

[EricaLubarsky]

42 and TJD is available.

Cmon Cuban

[EricaLubarsky]

Man we NEEDED a good off-season and Nico came up clutch

[EricaLubarsky]

Someone has to do Bates right?

Right?

[tap2390]

Blows my mind TJD is still available... someone is getting a day 1 rotation player late in the draft. Same goes for Sasser.


Edit: NVM Sasser gone at 25. At least I got that one right.

[EricaLubarsky]

But will never defend but he will average 15-25ppg

Nico is great.

It's the coach I'm worried about.

Because all the king's horses and all the king's men can't force Kidd to play them.

But for now, we finally have a youth movement of Hardy, Green, Prosper, and Lively.

And it's literally only because of his age.

Fuck. You?re right.

Kidd is still our coach.

[FreshJive]

It?s a good thing the Mavs tanked.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

GG Jackson finally went at 45. Another steal. This draft has to be the deepest I can remember.

[EricaLubarsky]

Hardy/Prosper/Lively is going to be a sick summer league team

One more to join them in the second round?

Then make some calls for undrafted kids

[DevinHarriswillstart]

if TJD goes undrafted, we better offer a guaranteed contract on the spot. If he gets picked, then call Tshiebwe who will be an insurance in case Holmes sucks.

Coach was ass last season. Idk who could have coached last seasons group deep into the playoffs. Provabkt no one....but Kidd kept tripping over his dick. It's easier to replace the coach once you have the talent. I would have went after JVG and voted Kidd off the island because I don't see him taking a passenger seat anywhere.

Agreed to parlay a few losses into 2 possible rookie starters....genius move.

Move a poor mans Kleber for a better fitting piece in Holmes. Kidd has to win out the gate, after this its a cherry on top of the offseason...assuming Kyrie is back. If Mavs are scuffling around 5 hundred at the break, need a new coach.

[SMC0007]

I can see Holmes being a great 2nd unit big. Versatile player that somehow lost his way.

[EricaLubarsky]

Master B?tes finally goes 49

[DevinHarriswillstart]

9 picks left. Please, please, please.
