First round pick Paolo Banchero coming to Dallas to be locked up.

Tre Murphy went 8 of 8 against the Mavs, and can't hit the ocean from a boat on wide open shots againt tbe Clips

I'm paying attention to Wood more then anyone. After those Kidd comments, will he come out with something to prove or will he pout and withdraw? History seems to point towards the latter but I sure hope not.

Hope to see a reaction and that they blow out magic

I know he's not playing still but I wanna see what the Magic do with Isaac when he returns.

Could be a buy low for someone at the deadline with all the players Orlando has in that 6"8 to 7 ft range.

A blow out by the Magic and Kidd gets fired immediately.

Jesus, a lineup with 4 6'10"+ who can dribble and shoot from deep, I haven't seen anything like it.

Can someone tell Mavs that they don't have their own pick this season...? Stop tanking for Victor.

If this is the "defensive" starting lineup the Mavs want to have you need to close out on 3s and actually play defense to offset the lack of offense out there.

You think victor will go at 11+ pick?

Obviously not.

Luka is scoring well but again has shot more then the whole team combined. 3 assists vs Magic's 9.

Again, another team playing Luka 1v1 and not letting others get involved. Teams are catching onto this as a winning strategy. Kidd keeps saying "someone else needs to step up" but it is also his job as the coach to diversify this offense and put his other players in position to "step up."

Scoring is far lesser problem than defending. Anybody looks fantastic against Mavs.

You got a point but problem is.. when Luka goes to bench, they are even more unwatchable and horrible. Spencer is absolutely not a playmaker we thought he will be. This team is stuck with only 1 real playmaker and a bunch of scorers who can't iso or pass the ball.

Josh Green is the only guy playing REALLY hard on offense and defense. I bet Kidd won't play him more than 15 mins again.

I agree. I'll throw in Powell as well as someone that's actually playing hard. I know it's taboo to compliment him here but the guy is out there showing way more heart then McGee.

And Powell got hit in the face again...

Green needs to play 20 min a night even if it's just to change the pace.

I usually like to see about 20 games or so before making any bold statements, but I just don't think this team wants Wood and will use him as a trade piece.

Banchero is impressive.

HAven't seen Rookie this NBA ready, even Luka and LeBron.

A 30 point half at 67% shooting from Luka and the game is tied, defense is worse than Carlisle days.
