Sign Danilo Gallinari In 2024 NBA Free Agency? Luka Doncic Is A GOOD Defender! Mavs News & Rumors

Could Danilo galinari be a buyout candidate that the Mavericks Target for the rest of the season we discussed that plus more here on today’s episode of Mavericks today you got Harrison grab and Jeffrey cooperstein here and Coupe we’ll get to Gallow in a second but hey can we get to 26,000 subscribers you

Guys have been supporting us so greatly recently we appreciate all the love and support hit that sub button 350 Subs away help us out and hey that would be a great Valentine’s Day for us shout out to you guys if you hit that subscribe button all right uh galinari Coupe who

Has had a interesting few years he had that season ending injury that he suffered in the FBA World Cup last year or the year before year before um you know he hasn’t been quite the same since then but still an interesting player that has decent splits this year yeah

He’s had a decent season playing mainly with the Washington Wizards before he got traded uh for Marvin baggley uh but the thing with galinari is he’s just kind of washed he’s not the shooter he once was shooting just 35 and a half% uh from three this year and where he

Doesn’t really help the Mavericks is his lack of Mobility overall is basically non-existent he is a spot up shooter at this point and the Mavs just really don’t need that kind of player yeah you know I I look at this and obviously we are all in on Spencer Den witty you know

Was like maybe Marcus Morris sounds like he’s going to Minnesota and I don’t know like I look at the buyout market now and I’m not sure any of these guys are that appealing to me now if they are going uh to add somebody keep in mind that

Players have to be waved by March 1st to be eligible for the playoffs so if the Mavs are going to add one of these players that could be a bout guy they got to be waved before the month of March so we got about up until the uh

The last day of the regular season as well so if you sign someone the day before game 82 he can play for you in the playoffs as long as he was waved by March 1 yeah so a couple of weeks we’ll see who gets bought out between now and

Then I would imagine a lot of those buyouts happen during the All-Star break coming up when things slow down for some of these teams but again like unless there’s a surprise one like maybe if the the Clippers and PJ Tucker like kind of reverse ship and he ends up getting

Bought out like that be a guy I’d be interested in but yeah possibly like a guy like Tucker who is by the way was sent home apparently by the Clippers before the start of the allcar break reset reset him and bone highand for that matter but I yeah I would like a PJ

Tucker I don’t know if he’s going to get bought out by the clippers but as as of this point there’s no one on the market to me that really moves the needle Mavericks do have an open roster spot though that they might as well fill so

We’ll keep an eye on what’s going on there yeah and Coop and I have speculated maybe AJ Lawson gets converted from his two-way to the active he has I believe 14 more games GES of Eligibility this season so I that might be a move they consider could be a

Certain possibility uh name someone you want to see the Maverick sign with that last roster spot uh drop a name down in the comment section below they could just stay the course and then if an injury occurs then they they add somebody so we’ll have to wait and see

But uh shout that name down in the comment section we’re going to talk about Luca donic in just a moment but do want to tell you about today’s sponsor prize picks first and listen there’s basketball games every night I can’t wait for some allstar game prize picks

Harrison I really wanted to bring this topic up because I’ve seen a lot on Maverick’s Twitter and NBA Twitter in general the narrative that is so false that LCA donic doesn’t play defense I think that was that was the case at one point in time that is certainly not the

Case now and people have are refusing to change their tune on it so I had to come here to defend him because I like it he has been an outstanding Defender this year and he’s one of the reasons why the Mavericks are on a five-game win streak

Right now yeah you know with Luke uh and we’ll you know show you know talk about some numbers in a second I think he’s always been a capable Defender cuz he has he’s sneaky Qui I mean he’s never going to be an all NBA type of guy but um you

Know we’ve talked about this in the past at times he he’s a tick out of shape or he just doesn’t want to play defense but I’ve always thought when he commits to playing defense he’s at least average this year he’s above average I think he has committed to his body a little bit

More and I think the effort on that end uh has been struggl than ever was yeah it it just annoys me when you hear guys like Stephen A Smith and Brian wior saying he doesn’t play defense like watch the games we know those guys don’t watch the games it’s like it’s like when

Stephen A called CJ strout a running cor like what are we talking about like watch the damn game is what I’m trying to say and we’ll take a look at the numbers and the numbers do not lie uh his post defense he is 055 points per possession which is number one in the

NBA among qualifiers he’s the best post defender in the NBA this year wild and then in ISO defense he’s very good as well top 10.79 and spot up defense defense where a guy is trying to like make a catch and shoot three he’s fifth in the NBA the numbers suggest he’s he’s

Among the top defenders in the League this year and I think the it test would also tell you that and look again he’s thick he’s long so like you put him on these threes and fours he’s strong enough the post thing does not surprise me because it’s not like he’s getting

Posted up by Joel and beid but like these like threes and fours that occasionally try to post them up like he’s stronger than those guys so I don’t think people realize how strong he is too Inc his legs are absolute tree trunks he’s six 240 and yeah he can

Basically he can play with the the best of them I think the iso is most impressive to me because you’re getting you’re picking up guys on the perimeter here you’re you’re you’re facing threes and fours that are just so Polished in today’s NBA so to be top 10 there is

Really impressive you look at some more numbers here I mean the iso defense 32% like I that’s got to be a career high by a decent margin if I had to guess and um you know the spot up defense uh a lot of the spot up stuff is just like out it’s

That and it’s just like it’s it’s like an it’s almost IQ it’s like seeing the pass that doesn’t shot me either because he’s a point guard and he knows where the ball is going a lot of time and you combine that with his length um it’s not

A shock to see him challenge but to be top 10 in all three of those categories to see these splits defensively I I think it’s a credit to him and quite frankly you know I hope the MVP voters I doubt they will but I hope they are

Aware of these numbers and this effort he’s putting all that in because you know I don’t know if he’s the Undisputed MVP I mean yic is up there on tumbo I know a lot of people like SGA but like to me his candidacy should include his

Defensive prowess this year I mean he he has been very good on that you read my mind I was listening to the hoop Collective which is an ESPN podcast Tim McMahon was on there and I believe it was Tim bontemps who said that he basically said no matter what the

Mavericks do Luca will not win MVP this year because the Mavericks will be fifth thing is they’ve made exceptions for that most notably joic who won it the first time where Denver was the six seed and Russell Westbrook who won it the year that he was averaging a triple

Double and LC is averaging better numbers than Westbrook was that particular season he absolutely should be in the MVP conversation especially if this team hovers around 50 wins which if they win tonight they will have to go 18 and N in the second half of the season

In order to get to 50 it’s definitely possible I think he should be in the MVP conversation and I think it’s mainly because obviously he’s the best offensive player in the world I don’t think there’s any question about that but I think he has picked up his defense

This year not quite ready to call him a two-way player but he is at season he has been exactly and he’s competent on that end he’s the MVP in my book yeah I mean he’s definitely up there Koop and I you know before the season we were on

The this is going to be the Luca season and you know if they had five more wins than they do now I think the narrative would probably be a lot differently they were third or fourth in the west but you know you got to climb up and if they’re

Able to then I think he could shake some heads over these final 30 games so show Lucas some love spam MVP down in the comment section below if he’s not the MVP uh he’s got a strong case to be so we’ll see how it all shakes out all

Right one more game coup got theight tonight and then Luca and the boys can rest up real they got to focus in here get that six straight win get to 32 and 23 and then uh it’s go time man you got 27 games after the break so um you know

You’re really you’re not in crunch time yet but you’re kind of entering that final push that final third of the season so should be a fun Allstar week as well we’ll of course have videos between now and when they resume play so be sure to subscribe we’ll see you Soon
