[Hollinger] A pick insiders expect to be in play is Dallas’ selection at No. 10, likely paired with either or both of Dāvis Bertāns and JaVale McGee to bring in more immediate help

Suffice it to say that if Mark Cuban uses the 10th pick to salary dump the terrible contracts he himself signed and/or traded for last year, I’m probably going to lose all hope.

    imagine signing Javale McGee just to attach a lottery pick we ended up with to send him off

    I think it’s the obvious play here. I wonder if Valanciunas would be an option

    To bring in help doesn’t mean salary dumping, but the purpose is salary matching

    Y’all still take John Hollinger seriously?

    if that dumb fuck Cuban does that pls just trade luka and reset this fckin franchise

    The heat get random ymca members to contribute heavily every year and nobody believes the mavs can get a starting quality player at the 10th pick

  7. If Dallas is able to dump both Bertans and McGee while taking back little to no salary would they then open up cap space to be able to sign a guy like Kuzma or Draymond to a 20m/yr deal while also being able to retain Kyrie, or just get a big trade exception?

  8. If we have both of Powell and Thj next year im gonna be fucking pissed man

    Bertans has got to have the best job in the country. Get paid millions to watch professional basketball games and shoot the occasional three.

    If we can get contributors while offloading two terrible contracts that would be an ideal use of our pick. But we’ll see how willing a team is to take our trash.

    Wonder if bertans, McGee, and 10 could get DFS? Like idk about optics but it’s certainly something. Gets you a solid wing starter back and gets off the money early.
