No Alpy. No Bari. Amen has a rough night in the paint.

And the best the Jizzlies could do was squeak out a 1 point win on their own court.

Tough loss but successful road trip.

Maybe udoka wanted to put FVV in that situation to see if he could count on him in big situations.

Definitely a successful road trip, but missing Ja probably hurt Memphis more than us missing Segun. He can be owned by much taller players given his close to the ground game, and Adams definitely seemed to hit the (offensive) boards more effectively than Alperen has. Udoka has been embarrassing Segun with early subs such that the home team broadcast has even been acknowledging it of late.

It seems like Segun is disadvantaged physically to most everyone he matches up against, but is more skilled offensively than most.

The previous game it was in Amen's hands going head to head against Tatum and finishing at the rim multiple times.

Fanduel still has Amen Thompson at +2500 for Most Improved Player. Norm Powell, Cade, Herro and Mobley above him.

Amen's January was 18.9p 10.6r 4.3a on 62% TS%. Plus over 2s and 1b.

Oct-Dec was 11.9p, 7.1r, 2.2a

They said after the game that the last play was for Amen and he got cut off so had to kick it out to Fred who I don't think by then had a lot of time.

100% depends on how much money he wants IMO

Definitely interested if he doesn't make as much money, it's team friendly with options and he takes a back season

I think that's the only way the interest is mutual

This is a terrible trade for the Mavs. I absolutely would have opened the chest of assets for Luka. He would fix just about all of the issues on this team and we can hide him with all the high level defenders in this team.

I just don't get this for the Mavs

Classic Mavs,
and the usual people going brain-dead when dealing with the Lakers.

Get the Mavs on the phone now. Tate, Landale, a conditional first in 2052 for Kyrie. We know they are clearly drunk, let's get this show on the road

Watching the Mavs front office give Luka away for nothing really reiterates how good of a job Stone did in the Harden trade.

You really love to see it.

Can we get Naz Reid from them now? Not sure where he fits on their team now.

Reid is on Minnesota and a big part of them trading KAT was being able to pay Reid

Rockets still have worse odds to win the title than the mavs

In 2029, the Rockets get the best 2 picks from Phoenix, Dallas, and their own. So likely Phoenix and Dallas.

Dallas has some draft issues in the future.

2027: Owes pick to Charlotte for PJ Washington
2028: Owes pick to OKC (swap)
2029: Owes pick to Houston (swap) but has the Lakers 29
2030: Owes pick to SA (swap)

That's a mess when your three best players are Kyrie, Klay, and AD.

And they gave up nothing. Actually were all the first rd picks theirs that got dealt? If so, then they gave up 4 1sts

Spurs gave up:

2025 Bulls 1st (top 10 protected) from S&T of DeMar DeRozan to the Bulls
2025 Charlotte 1st (top 14 protected, won't convey, turns to 2 seconds)
2027 Spurs 1st (likely suck)
2031 Minnesota 1st (one of 2 assets from the Rob Dilingham trade, also have unprotected 2030 Minn swap)
3 other seconds

No rotation players lost by Spurs. Tre Jones (3rd string PG) Zach Collins (15mpg center with 18M contract next year), Cidy Sissoko (GLeaguer)
