i think the analytics say their defense is good but it always seems trash to me when i've seen them.

looks exactly the same. it's crazy.

And Wall's been playing great too

Looks like Achilles aren't career killers anymore, which is a good thing

But it does make my opinion of not wanting KD cause of the injury look pretty bad in hindsight.

Feels like Mavs should be safe and rest Doncic for the rest of January

i'm with you. i thought that was one of the worst contracts of free agency. per year it's not so bad but the hell do you need to give him 5 years ?


shooters get paid. Joe Harris got paid too. Especially movement shooters.


most role players start falling of at 30. the end of these contracts will be bad.


Most of any FA deal ends up falling apart late. Thats what happens when you pay for past performance. But Bertans has pretty low millage on him and doesn't rely on athleticism so he should age fine...his defense is already ass...just has to keep shooting high % on high volume of 3's.

To be fair nobody expected him to be this good. I sure as hell didn’t. Really happy to see my guy Wall bounce back though. I was open to trading for him.

I think it was the issue during the start of the bubble. Probably takes a longer time for teams to practice and shore up defensive schemes that is why it takes a hit during the crammed schedule.

Bertans is pretty useless if he can’t hit any 3’s.

Not that I like it... but where are the people who said KD would never be the same after the Achilles injury.
