Wow...

Still can't believe we got KP and THJ for him and 2 tbd picks.


We all know the Knicks made that trade for the salary cap space.

DSJ is a better player than his stats would indicate, although those stats just show you what a cesspool the Knicks organization is. No one goes to New York and becomes a better player (which is actually promising for KP. He'll become a better player here in Dallas than he ever would have in NYK). Still, DSJ isn't what got that deal done. The Mavs willing to take on those contracts and the picks is what got the deal done.


Observe his decision making. He's always second guessing himself, slow on the pass, slow on the dribble and shooting shots. Has no clue where to go and how to get there, he often just runs in circles. It's true he had extra confidence in Dallas because he thought he was gonna be a star here, but Doncic exposed him big time. Didn't want to be a second fiddle and now he is worse than Fultz, which is an accomplishment on it's own lol.

Fultz isn't so bad. Did you see that TOMAHAWK he threw down last night? Put Lillard on his heels and just man that was a dunk!

If Fultz had been drafted 21st overall, instead of 1st overall, nobody would be talking bad about him at all. He'd be viewed for the player he is, a guy that can slash with the best of them, find his teammates & play defense a bit and can't shoot. He'd be a guy, not great not poor just average. He wouldn't be looked at as this embarrassment.

DSJ is heading down the embarrassment route at full speed.

Archx, you made some good points there. I haven't seen him with the Knicks much, so it makes sense what you're saying about him not having an idea of what to do & second guessing himself. Explains the sharp drop in his #s

Return to Dallas Mavericks
