Offseason Targets

[SOUNDCHASER]

Rose is home in NY I seriously doubt we can get him away. Would be a lot nicer to have him than Dragic but slightly unrealistic though it would be cool to make NY do that when you know they do not really want to do that.

Luka expects more from Mavs boss according to an interview with Spainish. I read into it the same way: the starting lineup projected recently will definitely not work. The Mavs need extra help from outside than Dinwiddle. The spacing is simply too poor if Dinwiddle and McGee both start. Needless to say, the management and coaching staff disappoint Luka by standing spat and think the offseason is done. Obviously, a playmaker is wanted. Who Luka wants exactly? The Mavs better figure out. It's not like Luka could share the court with anyone.

Not a good sign... I said last year that Luka wants to win. And soon.
Otherwise it's better to say goodbye Luka.

McGee isn't a starting C for a contender, i hope it was a joke.

Luka (Dinwiddie)
XXX (THJ)
Bullock (Maxi)
DFS (Maxi)
Wood (McGee)

This is a 9man PO rotation, we have a big hole and Luka know it.

I honestly can't wait for the day Lebron leaves. I'm just hoping that when he leaves, Luka joins to take over his rightful place as the leader of the Lakers, hehe.

**** off the Fakers.

Best player in the league needs to be on the best team in the league. The Lakers are like the Real Madrid of the NBA. The Mavs are like Hamburger SV.

Haha, fair enough. Just a lil good-natured teasing... and I've spent the last season wishing y'all good luck.

Man, LAL1947 is an honorary Mavs fan.

Someone get Jericho Sims a contract to play here now!

Sims is working out in Dallas... y'all should tamper away. If the Mavs can get him, it sure would make up for losing Brunson for free. Having a Center like Sims who can defend wings/forwards would mean the Mavs do not need two 3&D wings, which allows Luka + Spencer/THJ to be used in the back-court along with DFS/Bullock at SF + Wood/Kleber at PF. McGee gives rim protection and rebounding, no perimeter defense. I've seen that story already at the Lakers. He did good in the regular season but needed to be benched in the playoffs and we had to use Dwight Howard against Jokic.

Who knows, he might also inspire Luka to get in shape.

Back on topic though... Vasilije Micic is a topic of discussion in the trades forum today. He's apparently looking to join an NBA team if the right opportunity presents itself and could be a nice player to replace Brunson's contributions at PG. OKC has his draft rights, so the Mavs would need to sort out a trade with them. His team pays him $3m after taxes in the EU, and Spotrac says the Mavs have about $5m left of the TPMLE.

Yea he’s putting pressure on Nico to make more moves. I’m glad he’s doing it. Donnie Nelson got a free ride for far too long and the same can’t happen with Nico. Either produce or you need to be gone.

Lakers don’t have the assets it would take to trade for Luka.

First off I’d be very surprised if Luka ever did want out of Dallas. If he did though he wouldn’t exactly be free. Mavs would like get the biggest haul in NBA history for a single player. Who in the NBA has a higher trade value? Giannis MAYBE and that’s it.

Again, Lakers don’t have the assets.

Agree.

For sure losing your second best player for nothing it's not a contender move, beyond what happened.

This is good. Putting the pressure on Nico is one side of the equation. The other half is for him to also pitch in with recruiting. With the league's best players being homies with other players, dabbing it up in Vegas right now during summer league and partying in LA after, Luka will need to learn to do these things too rather than wasting his time playing in Europe during the summer. Its this time of the year when players recruit other players the hardest. Building relationships with them is key. Recruiting for Jokic and Giannis was never easy because of that difference. The GM of Dallas will always have a hard time as opposed to LA, New York or Miami. Hence we need Luka to pitch in some. Dirk never did this during his time and we know where that went.

Micic wants around 10 mio and guaranteed minutes.

Dragic said in interview that Mavs weren't his option, because they couldn't promise him enough minutes.

Not many teams left who can give him the full MLE, so I think he'll play one more year in Europe.
And Mavs promised McGee starting spot and couldn't offer Dragic 25MPG? My god this infuriating.

Not only that. OKC has his rights and apparently wants more than second round draft pick for him.

I believe Kidd never wanted Dragic. He's building a team with coaches and players friendly to him. Luka's comment about staying long term in Dallas," Everything is carefully planned and aligned with Dallas. But what the future will bring is very difficult to predict", might show, that he doesn't 100% agree in what direction things are going.
