I don't think I've disliked an NBA player as much as I dislike Morris since Bruce Bowen.

Montrezl Harrell and Morris quickly became my two least favorite players in the league in four games.

Terrible call. Robbed the Mavs of 2 points there.

Yep. Morris is garbage. He can blow out a knee whenever he is ready.

The Clippers played with an edge last night which made for an interesting measuring stick type game. I think this box score sums up the Mavericks problem pretty well:



They have two guys in DFS and Kleber who are good spot up, role players on offense. Playing against a fast, physical defense like LAC I just think you just need a little more playmaking out there. LAC was playing hard and every time Kleber or DFS were forced to dribble bad things happened for the Mavericks.

I'm not sure how the Mavericks are going to pull it off, but they need to bump those guys down a peg in the rotation by adding a legit 3rd option on this team. Snagging a guy like Aaron Gordan and sending DFS to the bench would be a great upgrade. Bigger, better defender who can handle a little. Not a great shooter but not really any worse than DFS. Maybe attainable for Expiring James Johnson + Josh Green 18th pick last year + Future 1st. I wouldn't go anymore than that. Either way I would canvas the league to at least see what Expiring James Johnson + Josh Green is worth.

It is frustrating because moving into the championship contender tier isn't crazy with the right move(s) around the edges. Luka is that good.

Imo Johnson+Green by themselves could MAYBE get you Oladipo, but you'd probably still need to throw a 2nd in. If you're trying to specifically target wings+PFs, these are the only guys i can think of that are attainable:
  • Aaron Gordon - I think he will cost Green+1st rd pick
  • John Collins - I think he will cost Green + Multiple 1st rd picks or taking a bad contract
  • Otto Porter Jr. - Probably attainable for just Green but it'll be hard to match his salary. Still shy $5m even w/Johnson's contract
  • Larry Nance Jr. - Minimum Green+1st rd pick. Possibly multiple 1sts.
  • Danuel House Jr - Probably attainable for just Green
  • PJ Tucker - Attainable for almost anything. A 2nd would probably do.

Basically, A. Gordon or John Collins are going to require another 1st no matter what. I don't see the Mavs having the draft capital necessary to acquire either (unless we start playing the 'trade KP' game).

PJ Tucker has a much higher asking rate right now. Tons of teams are inquiring about him and driving his cost up even if he isn't really worth it. He's going to end up on a contender this year like the Lakers or Nets.

I'll believe it when i see it. I think he's washed and would be lucky to go for a 2nd rd pick.

Oh I agree with you, but I think there are a few teams willing to far overspend for depth this year for a championship run

Because the Mavs have so few good assets, I would be surprised if anything big happened before the deadline.

They have money to spend this summer, and will probably vastly overpay a third option kind of guy.

I hate the arbitrary nature of nba officiating. None of these calls were fouls on Monday.

If y'all aren't watching, it's time to tune in. Luka is going to get 50 tonight. Boy is hungry and absolutely cooking.

Any LA team. It's so lopsided. Every questionable call has gone against Dallas.

This female rep is absolutely atrocious.

Cause Kawhi gets every "no call" in the game. He's offensive every other possession pushing off or pushing through. It's garbage.

Seriously, Kawhi elbowed a defender in the head. Compare that against the charge called on Luka earlier.

WCS legit doesn't know how to run a pick and roll. He ALWAYS leaves early. No Dwight Powell tonight, too. Interesting call by Carlisle with DFS out for his baby's birth. Can't argue with the production though.

Big 2 game series with Portland coming up, with a chance to move up the standings.

I feel like female refs, in the NBA and NFL, make egregious calls or no calls at a higher rate than their male counterparts. It is annoying to me that is being pushed so aggressively.
