What's 1 roster change the Mavs HAVE to make?
I’m in the camp of not trading any 1st rd picks now and instead waiting until de offseason to make mayor improvements to the roster. If we can do a S&T with the Pacers for Turner and then use the picks/assets to trade for say OG Anunoby, now were talking. That’s a championship caliber team right there.
Anything
This theory that you could wave a magic wand and build a championship by just adding one player is fake it takes years to build a championship team look at the warriors it took them about four or five years before they were even winning a playoff series
Hardy untouchable. Dude balling better than Green's rookie year
Doncic is not someone that can raise his team up to the next level his floor game is awful it's probably the worst floor game I have ever seen
16:43 I’d keep Josh over Jaden right now.
The panic amongst our fans is starting to take a toll on my mental health😂 I need to just turn my phone off tonight
Try to move noncontributing players. Not much out there that the mavs can afford
Huh??? Cam reddish plays D?? He’s not a savant but still solid
We should definitely keep our young guys – Jaden Hardy will flourish ..y’all said the same thing about Jalen in his rookie season
get @slightlybiased tomorrow!!
These developments seem healthy actually
1) pls leave Luka out of roster selection / trades. Stop stirring the pot taking his name (media, fans pls. Let the kid focus on the game). He is not going anywhere so no talks about him leaving until final year of the contract.
He is no Dirk either who would serve Mavs endlessly. That’s for Cuban.
2) pls put all the pressure on FO and Cuban. It’s fair. It’s their job.
3) sideways trades are useless because the new guy will not be able to carry team over the line.
Though it is worth talking about likes of Bojan, Rozier, Siakam, OG, and Levine.
4) CW, SD, and THJ is more than decent second tier. They all have to fire together. At least two of them with Luka. It is Kidd’s job to make two of them score over twenty pts.
5) Extremely frustrating that coaching staff cannot revive JVM. He has got talent (height) and should be swatting twenty shots a night instead of given up. That’s on coaching staff. It is hard to take that the Mavs have lost ten games for poor defense while JVM sits there.
I wish the front office would stop with the window dressing and sign a top 10 player.
bla bla , overreactions negative vibes, i dont like that
The last thing the mavs team need is the chemistry to go out the window, cause their fans like to gossip about who said what. I couldn't think of a better sabotage than putting the team spirit on the line and Luka in the spotlight. Media does nothing positive for this situation whatsoever, so why tf are people so impatient and pointing fingers where it's best for the team if we find out when it happens. We all agree that Luka needs help around him, but why get involved in this situation where the whole front office knows their shit more than any fan will. Mavs do NOT need this kind of gossip reporting, we can even blow good deals ffs..
Kuzma for Wood maybe 🤔
Not gonna last long in Dallas No help on court I say one more year and it’s off to NY or LA. No free agent with anything will sign with Texas teams State too crazy.
the mavs front office is just lazy. you don't have to make big splashy moves; just get guys on the cheap like christian wood who may or may not mesh with luka but are still worth a shot. low risk high reward guys. guys like yuta watanabe who seemed on the brink of a breakthrough season this year with the nets. good defender, good 3 point shooter (excellent this year but i think it's an outlier), 6' 9" and switchable. could he be that mikal bridges 3-and-d guy with starter's (or at least reggie bullock's) minutes? these guys are available. why not roll the dice on mac mcclung as an electric off-the-bench scorer and third ballhandler? rui hachimura's a bit of a positional enigma but he's got tons of potential and can't be that expensive. these players are out there. the mavs could have had lauri markannen, jerami grant, or dejounte murray without bankrupting their assets.
the mavs most underrated trade partner would be orlando. obviously they won't trade fritz wagner or paulo or wendell carter, but how about mo bamba? a young rim running center with upside and energy. do the magic still love cole anthony? they'd never trade fritz but how about his brother mo? mo wagner is averaging 11 and 6 this year on good efficiency. moves are out there. i get not sacrificing all your trade capital on a big swing yet, but the mavs should worry if they even have the assets to make that kind of big swing. nobody's taking davis bertan's contract (or tim hardaway jr.'s or javale's or dwight powell's) and a 1st rounder for a genuinely good player.
Trade o Mavs players to OKC players except sga. Then Mavs will be contender.
Life's attempt is to have Luka play with Ainton, trae and bogdonovicic!
Watch Jalen McDaniels, Vanderbilt and Luka Garza, they have outstanding qualities at black friday prices!
Luka is not allowed to talk publicly about team roster changes, so at least until february 9th, the entire team and FO will deny any changes…
Lou dort, anunoby, sga, valenciunas, bogdanovic, Kevin Porter Jr, Eric Gordon, this lineups can really help luka.
That man paint Luka needs help has more sense than cuban.
Anything Below!!
clarkson from utah i believe would be a ultimate fit
Get Slightly Biased on!!!
Getting a second star will probably do a lot for this team, I mean Im no expert and I have only follow the mavs for two years but didnt Lakers win nba last time with two stars (AD and Lebron) and a bunch of shooters?
They HAVE to sign C. Wood to the 4 year max deal, with is reportedly $77 million. That's about the same as Hardaway Jr. Even if they don't want to keep him long term, he becomes a more valuable asset as soon as he is under contract.
Finally get to see a Win! Mark Cuban should be ASHAMED of this 2nd hand roster of NBA players who cannot play on any other NBA team! The Mavs roster has to be the Weakest Roster in the NBA and Maybe the G League! I can't blame Luka if he Demands a Trade! I would if I was him! He needs to go to a team who has a real Owner and GM who know how to run a team and build a roster with Real NBA Talent who can help him win a championship! Mark Cuban is just a Cheap SOB who doesn't care about the Mavs like he does his STUPID Shark tank BS show!!
Thumbs up for the Deep Ellum Artist who called out M Cuban for being the Worst NBA Owner in the League who has NO idea how to run a team! No Idea how to get talent to Dallas! Now Mark Cuban crying because he is getting called out for what a LOUSY JOB he is doing running the Mavs! Time to Mark to SELL the TEAM to a REAL NBA Owner like the Clippers Owner who does anything to get talent to his team! Mark SUCKS as an OWNER! Nico Sucks as a GM! Time for LUKA to Move on if Cuban & Nico can't get any talent here or keep talent here! See JB!
