Dante Exum is OUT for 3 Months, is this something?
Which team(s) and player(s) contracts will the Mavs shred this year? (Cause it's more than just Luka now!).
I really like Dante Exum. I feel really bad for him he can't seem to catch a break. Hope he comes back from his injury with a chance to get his spot back.
JET calling out LeBron and outplaying him. Ant not so much.
I like Dante but I’m low key excited that Hardy is going to get a real chance to shine and grow this year
really, are we going with maxi Masiah, just wait until he gets back from injury, he will be like he was 25 again lol
No
MFFL
Release Brandon Williams and sign sharpe to develop him and sign gortman for 2 way deals
i like him as a multipositional stopper but aside from that, hes so inconsistent with his scoring or outside shooting. and we have a ton of guards anyway. where is the minutes gonna come from. dinwindie, hardy, grimes will all need minutes off the bench
Exum will be back in time for the playoff run. In the meantime we have Kyrie, Klay, Grimes, Dinwiddie, and Hardy who can play SG so I'm not exactly alarmed. If worse came to worse, Miller and Gortman might be worth a fill in. There's also the small matter of McClung who the last time I checked, was leading the G-league in points and assists (or close). No one wants to give him a chance despite massive numbers and him having a nice showing in the All-Star game G-League vs Rookie contest where he beat a team with Wemby and Podz. You can find a decent PG depending on what you're looking for in his skill set. You don't need a star, just someone who doesn't F-up the team.
Hardy has stepped up his game.
What's the deal with only people from the US, Canada and Puerto Rico being eligible to become Mavs Insiders? Locked on Mavs has a global audience and I'm sure the reach would be even wider given the opportunity. Also, bummer for Dante. The chain of command will be set already come January when it comes to rotation. It'll be hard to come back from that. I'll be rooting for him though.
I believe Hardy and Dinwiddie will step up in their roles.
Edwards is a shot chucker and a ball hog. He also has a terrible stamina that by the end of every halftime hes gassed. Thats the reasons they benched him for Jrue. Not to mention he got carried in the Nuggets and Mavs series in a number of games, cant playmake for sht and inefficient af. Overrated loudmouth choker😂💯 he’ll never be the face of the league nor be near close to mj💯💯
i´m so low on Dinwiddy… i hope Hardy can get more reliable, Dinwiddy seems soo unreliable the last 2 seasons…
Dante is a future Denver Nuggets backup PG
Grimes will replace Exum easily. They are the same type of player.
I like how Lively was working with Tyson Chandler. I wish Omax would work with Shawn Marion. He was exactly the player I want Omax to be.
Luka's mvp chances vs Shai increased by beating OKC in the 2nd round. When comparing those two it should be mentioned.
Suns definitely got better. But I dont know how they want to stop anybody on defense.
