I dont see the problem - Jordan has jaundice from being an alcoholic, and missed a couple seasons from a gambling addiction.

Dallas is simply going all in on the idea of getting veterans who should be able to handle the pressure of a playoff series.

Of course this was with Spo, but Caleb played very well in the post-season for Miami in 22 & 23 across 28 games.

Not saying I agree with it but look at that roster construction. I don’t think they wanted to count on Grimes wetting the bed in a big spot coughing up a TO from a trap, throwing it out of bounds because of some ball pressure or air balling corner 3s when it matters most.

Sorry not sorry

I see it. Grimes is inconsistent as hell. And Mavs think they're in win now mode.

How many of y’all agreed with this at the time?

Grimes fans on this board are now going to have to root for Embiid's team.

This is what I love about this board. We're always helping each other grow, great at sharing ideas, and pointing out the positives in life.

Now that everyone knows how much the Lakers paid for Luka, they going to try to fleece them on every move that they do to improve their team. How about Austin Reeves and Jaxon Hayes for Mitch & Landry Shamet ?

I’m still not overly impressed with Reaves.

He'd instantly be the Knicks best bench player and yes I get his defense sucks compared to Deuce

Win now mode is now in Los Angeles

Dumbest sh*t I've ever seen in the NBA. Hands down. Nico makes Billy King look like Sam Presti

The whole Dallas Mavericks organizational infrastructure has just straight up imploded. They've been getting steady season ticket cancellations since the trade, have officially offered current season ticket holders a refund for the remainder of the season if they want it (!), fans openly saying they're out in media interviews, and insiders/bloggers posting things like this:

For Mitch and Shamet you aren't impressed with Reaves?! It's not like we would trade an All-Star for him.
