at around the 1/3 mark of last season 15/16 of the teams that started off well/in the playoff picture, maintained their performance and made the playoffs

look at his footwork here

sloppy. unsure.

even when CP3 resets at the 3pt line, look at KP's stance, hes never in position even when cp3 gives him the time to get set. unbelievable almost

now look here

Watch on YouTube

Because of past trauma, I read and initially responded to this post, as if it said THJ.

I would expect the Heat and the Raptors to move up soon and displace us from the 10th spot. But ATL has been disappointing lately so they could keep dropping.

The Mavs are not making the playoffs so we'll have at least one lotto pick

Man we were 4 and 20 last season?
How the hell did end up with 8th pick?
Once Knicked always Knicked.. hopefully not this year.

because its true.

who is Luka's third best player? THJ?

Luka + spot up jump shooters isn't good enough. If it couldn't work for Harden, why would it work for Luka? Sorry Dallas bought into a stale strategy that's DEFINITELY been proven less effective in the playoffs and overall basically dead now that Harden got traded to a team with 2 other premier playmakers.

Luka needs ball handling help and someone else on the team that can play 36mpg, run the pnr, and get 5 asts.

insistence on playing vets over youth + bad luck

I'm as reserved on Luka as anyone, but Russ is not better than him.

I get a sense that they’ll deal KP. What can they get, Beal? Nah. Prolly not. But who knows. He’s still totally hyped.

He's Never trading KP ...cuban is still shook from letting Nash walk...

If I'm any other team I'm not touching KP with a 10 foot poll. 30 million per year till 2024 and he might be injured the whole time. It would be impossible to build a team with that contract. It's almost Amare levels at this point.

Yeah I wouldn’t touch him. Not for that amount. But — teams can be dumb. Cuban overpaid based on hype. Maybe he can do that to someone else lol.

yeah, he's talked about giving up on nash/dirk too early. so let him ride this out for a few years until luka wants out. sounds good to me.

Neither is Beal. Neither is close actually.

Some odds Tatum can be as good I guess. Not really much unless Luka gets hurt. I guess you can criticize his percentages but the dude is a level above in what he’s doing out there — which is a one man offense.

Seems as if PJax was right...KP is Fugazi...less durable shawn bradley

Dominating on O inside — that’s not a choice, he’s not capable of it.

Dominating D or at least changing the game by D — he seems to be taking it easy.

Luka is top 5 in the nba.. Russ is top 100 I'd say 75 region

The second guy I’d want on the Mavs is Brunson. Maybe Curry. Oops.
