No, as in the offseason has been beaten to death. This board LOVES talking about the past. I get it, it's part of the discord. But it is old news and Macmahon is trying to come off as if he has something juicy that we already didn't know...

Give me a break, you know what I meant. You've been around long enough to know if it's not Brunson, certain people love to bring up past drafts, and not keeping the 2011 team together, blah blah blah but then jack shit for solutions to improve the team NOW. But whatever.

It's MacMahon trumpeting his sources on Lowe's podcast. None of that comes off as speculative to you? That's your read and opinion then.

OK, I'll play the solutions game. I'm all about how to utilize what we have.
Well we have what I believe to be a third guy sitting in the G league destroying it. And the comps all summer was Jordan Poole who got 22 mpg with the Warriors his rookie year. If they weren't planning on playing him, then why give up two future seconds to get him? Those aren't assets you should just be throwing away when you have so little young talent you're actually developing.
I mean, DFS and Bullock have basically been awful to start the season. I'd even say THJ has been better than Bullock which is not good. Playing a young hungry guy would take the edge off their backs, and it would be something fresh and new. And it sets you up for the future. Yes, it might cost you a few games, but the payoff is big.
But this idea that Hardy is just years away is a total waste IMO. 0 NBA minutes means 0 real development. I really hope the G league stuff is helping, but he needs to be on the court. We made that mistake with Green his rookie year, and that hurt his development IMO.

I?m not the owner but here?s the solution many of us said:
Pay Jalen whatever he wants. Because we knew what the alternative would be. And then after that we were also in the off season threads saying PLEASE GET GORAN. Mavs scoffed. Then we said screw it pair up DSJ, he?s improved AND he?s a ball handler. Front office is absolute morons.
Now? They have zero options. They let them all pass by. Obviously start Wood but Dallas is too stupid for that.
Regarding TM he has a respected career and works/worked for espn and respected in media circles. I don?t think it?s speculative of him, and he?s usually spot on with a bit of tongue in cheek embellishment. Fans don?t like him cause he doesn?t suck up to the organization.

the "NY will never be able to create space" is so laughable because we've been saying this for a decade that teams will create space when needed.
When its all laid out in one file, everything adds up to Cuban being a complete idiot, and cumulatively why they cant build a team around Luka.

Most of it could have been made up bullshit for all we know, too. It literally is "sources" who don't always bat .1000 and easily surmisable regardless.

The most damning stuff is Dragic IMO. The FO often just doesn't know what they are doing. Pretty simple.

This is the only one that is really damning, though. Pretty easy to call the Brunson episodes in hindsight, but not doing anything to address the key ability he brought was the worse move. Brunson wanted to be in NY, point blank period, he's getting to run his show now. And it's going bad.
But, not doing more to get Dragic or others linked here, such as DSJ, has proven to be a costly mistake so far in this young season. The Mavs need a 3rd ballhandler and now it's going to have to come via trade.
