Not saying its going to happen but i hope the thread is bumped because hes playing too good.
frank conversations have little potential to be healthy or productive, so i'm hoping against bumps... but preparing for many.

Deuce better make everyone forget his name soon....
Big time Frank fan here. Deuce has the fire in the belly we’ve never seen from Frank. Good chance he’s a much better idea for that role.
No one has Frank’s perimeter defense toolset, but Deuce is damn good and all heart. Plus, not only CAN he get buckets, he intends to.

So is the Frank hive gonna migrate like LeBron fans after he left Cleveland the 1st time?

Buzzstradamus did call it years ago.
Frank is in the ideal situation to hopefully salvage his NBA career. Playing with Luka (assuming he even makes the rotation), all he will be asked to do is shoot catch-and-shoot 3s and play defense. Sharing the court with the most ball-dominant player in the league should help hide Frank's weaknesses and limitations.
If he can't make Dallas's rotation, then it's back to Europe.

I actually think the complete opposite than most people do on this move. While Dallas can definitely use an injection of good perimeter defense and Frank can bring that when he isn't fouling his way out of games... I think Luka and Porzingis are going to bring out his worst habit still which is non-aggression/unwillingness to shoot because they eat up so much usage. Having Frank stand around and wait for things to happen is the worst thing for him/his development if he wants to stick in the league because there are plenty of guys who can shoot a higher variety of C&S jumpers than he can and be passable on D that it makes the need for Frank just not that necessary for a team like Dallas IMO. I feel like he would have been much more useful in a more equal opportunity system without what amounts to basically a usage hog in Luka. The Spurs would have been a good fit for example. Or if you're going to put him next to an "engine" type player, then I think a guy like Jokic would have been much better because he promotes dribble handoffs, cutting and also spot ups. If you're aggressive with Jokic you get rewarded.
Dallas treats Luka like the Rockets treated Harden. Sit around and watch. Not good for Frank IMO. And conversely if they are expecting him to run point for the bench unit, then I think it's not a great move because he isn't a PG at the NBA level

One thing we might be missing is most likely Frank would not be playing with Luka. He would be coming off the bench with the 2nd unit if he even makes it that far. I have no idea who's on the Mavs bench...

Assuming a Doncic/Tim/Bullock/Kleber/KP starting team, we have in the Dallas bench:
PG: Brunson, Burke, Tyrell Terry,
Wings: Dorian,Sterling Brown, Josh Green
Bigs: Powell, WCS, Boban, M.Brown
They are really short at wings. Frank has great chances to get minutes as a wing.

I think with Grimy Deuce off the bench, we have more than replaced the defense we lost with Frank. The offense, on the other hand, is priceless.
