Gonna get Backlash but smart move not playing starters… You move up in a draft to get a top 10 draft pick in a heavy draft class full of talent. You still have cap space to resign kyrie and can go sign wing defenders in the off-season… smart move by mavs organization…

    The mavs suck at signing free agents. Is Taylor Hendricks or gradey dick or any late lottery pick moving the needle? Hell no! Can we get a good trade for the pick+our scrubs? Hell no!

  2. See my new post. Mavs are sitting a ton of players tonight.

    It’s highly unlikely we make the play-in even if we win out, since OKC has to lose at home to a Memphis team that will likely be resting all their starters; so this seems like the best decision, even though we prob should’ve committed to this path sooner.

    Do we control our own destiny as far as getting the 10th best odds? Bulls would be a game up on us if we lose tonight & OKC is already ahead of us.

    Luka is gonna win us this game ya know that right? And he’s going to want out because of this dumb move

    Why would you even want to re-sign a cancer like Kyrie? He’s essentially proven over the past few yrs that he doesn’t help a team at all.

    the bad part of all this is signaling to Luka, one of the most competitive players in the league, that the Mavs have no intention of even trying to win despite having him on their roster it may be bad long term plus who knows if Kyrie is gonna resign

    >and can go sign wing defenders in the off-season

    You understand we are over the cap if we re-sign Kyrie, correct?

    Smart move that should’ve been done weeks ago

    They should’ve been smart and recognized this weeks ago when everyone else was saying it, now it might be too late

    The team is desperately in need of assets . Packaged this and the 2027 FRP they could probably get a solid C .

    IMHO i would draft Walker or Hendricks if they fall and use the 2027 + sacrifice Green or Hardy to get a C in the offseason.

    Smart move would have been to lose the last game, this is desperate. Luka basically bitched the FO last game

    The smart move would have been to go full tank after back to back Cha losses lol. Let’s not kid ourselves. No close to healthy team in the 10th spot is making the finals let alone the conference finals. Now you have to lose two games in a row to two really bad teams who are in all likelihood trying to lose as well

  12. Lourdeath

    We should have lost last night also though lol

    If we tank, we deserve all that follows. No Kyrie, eventually no Luka, just Powell and THJ left behind from which we rebuild.
