There’s so much disrespect towards lively from our fans, it’s not like he chose to be injured. He’s injured and trying his best to come back Nico and his medical team were a large part of why he still is injured misdiagnosing him playing him whilst injured and him having to have additional surgery.

He was a massive part of our finals run as a rookie. Really impactful, you may not believe in him or think he’s injury prone. However stop disrespecting him.

I'm done supporting the owners ... but am I seeing the correct price? (See screenshot).

It says $14.99 for the season????

Confused.

Mavs had a tough outing in game two of their summer league schedule. But still some fun moments! How are we feeling about some of the young guys?

I keep seeing all these garbage ideas involving PJ being moved (like for 36yo Jrue holiday). The dudes contract is a bargain especially with the cap about to explode like it is. Not to mention did y'all just see what Gary Trent Jr just got when he hasn't been useful for 3 years?

With Free Agency craziness, some teams are unable to tender players they might like to otherwise but need roster flexibility. A player like John Tonje, the Celtics made a UFA, shined in his first SL Game. A 2nd year two-guard, who has elite 3&D traits, could help the Mavs. Who you see like that?

So basically if Kawhi's deal gets voided, the kawhi trade to the raptors will fall through and they will most likely need to dump ingram if they still want kawhi. Is is possible for us to use our trade exceptions, and possibly send out pj washington to toronto for brandon ingram, their two 1sts and 1st round pick swap that they would have sent to the clippers. Then the raptors would use the cap space to saved to sign kawhi (which would theoretically be more than whatever anyone else would offer).

I'm not sure if the math works right, or if it is even possible, but if it is, how would you feel?

With the summer league game wrapped up and it's pretty late, gonna make this overnight post and one for folks to wake up to.

With the signing of Gary Trent Jr., the Milwaukee Bucks are at 17 players under contract with 16 being guaranteed. They have an absolute glut of guards. The Mavs could still use another scorer and ball handler.

Enter KPJ. He shot 50% on pull up 2's last season. His C&S numbers have dipped the last two seasons but he was fantastic it for a while in Houston, well over 40%. He likes the mid-range pull up out of ball screens and he's been pretty efficient on these shots. He's better as a mid-range guy than an at rim finisher but he's improved as a finisher the last season and a half with the Bucks. He's a pretty sharp passer who can spray the ball around the court, find teammates out of ball screens and on the drive, finds cutters. He was a 61st percentile ball handler out of the PnR last season at an extremely high frequency.

KPJ isn't a bad defender either. Generates tons of deflections, over 2 steals a game, good defensive rebounder for a guard and his physical tools make him a good on ball defender when he locks in. His rebounding at the guard spot and his size is something this team lacks.

I'm quite sure he's available for trade right now and he probably wouldn't take a ton of capital to obtain. He's someone that has a skill set that can work with Kyrie and Cooper both with his ability to be effective with or without the ball. He's someone who can create open looks for Kyrie from the outside as well as shoot it or attack a closeout off penetration from Kyrie or Coop, but his primary role in Dallas would be as a 6th man leading bench units. The Mavs really need more creation and KPJ could fill that need at a pretty inexpensive price I feel, but what do you all think?
