I hope contract is just like Gordon..declining..21 to 17 mill a yr..4th yr team option would be great

If they did it with AG... i'm sure they will do it for an "aging" Vuc. would make even more sense for him.

[yoyojw17]

I really don't believe Vucevic or Middleton will be Dallas' primary target this summer.

It will be interesting to see how Vucevic's camp approaches free agency this summer. He should have some suitors, but he probably won't be the primary option for anyone other than Orlando. They could be aggressive in finding a landing spot while there is still a lot of money available, or they could be patient and wait for the market to develop and let teams court him. I do not believe they will settle for less than four years.

I'll be surprised if Orlando doesn't make the most lucrative offer to Vucevic. It's unlikely that any more attractive options will even consider Orlando this summer and I don't believe this front office is willing to punt on free agency while the core develops.

all you said its true but also its managemnt fault they decided to go for the playoffs while they should go for lottery

You have to play to your potential as much as you can. Progress means that something is going correctly. If not we make trades that were unwarranted due to impatience... giving away players before they have ripened. 3 weeks ago people wanted to trade isaac for anything... now... he's part of the core again. funny how things change with success. lol

4 of our "core" 8 players are 23 and under.... as they grow... so does this team. As they grow... the more wins we get... and that's a good sign. Underachieving is never an option.... so as long as everyone is healthy... we will progress as far as their talent will take us.

plz go Vooch its Isaac and Bamba time

plz go Vooch its Isaac and Bamba time

Bamba's time to stop skipping leg days

Isaac scores as oportunistic player right now, it's not like you will draw plays for him or give him ball and let him do something. During his 4 games hot streak he collected 1 assist.

Take Vuc off this roster and you are looking at 23 wins team.

and???
That should worry me?
This team will not make playoffs anyway.
23 wins team would get a decent prize draft day.

No you shouldn’t worry about that. But his legs and conditioning you should worry about

He's going. Dirk is his hero and the Mavs have way more to offer him than we do. Just wish we would've gotten a return on his value instead of losing him for nothing. Guess we got to enjoy the chase for the playoffs so we can lose in round one and our players don't have to feel like losers.

[darthmerrick]

He may have been in plans for Mavs before Porzingis trade, I don't think they need or want Vuc anymore in today's NBA.

Here are the teams that could make a really good offer on Vuc (assuming he doesnt take a MLE to go ring chase). I'm also counting out teams under cap like Philly and Milwaukee who have a big cap hold and will be trying to keep Middleton, Butler and Harris.

New York- Saving that money for superstars.
Brooklyn- Will throw big money at Russell to keep him. They could make a run at Vuc, but more likely they try to remain flexible and extend the talent they already have.
LA Clippers- Making a run at Kawhi
Indiana-Possibly could make a run at Vuc. I think they make a move on a Dragic, Bledsoe type to add next to Dipo.
Utah- Already have Gobert
La Lakers- Keeping that money to try to make a run at AD or any top 10 free agent they can get.
Atlanta- Could sign him, but rebuilding. I think they are keeping cap flexible on 1-2 year deals and will keep tanking.
Sacramento - The real threat. They have Fox, Hield and Harrison Barnes and Bagley 1-4. Vuc would seem to be the missing piece. They have the cap room to make a major offer and Vlade loves Vuc.
Dallas- Unless they don't have confidence in Porzingis it would not make since adding Vuc. Spend that cap room on bringing compliments (Defensive PG's, three point shooting) to build around Doncic and Zing!

I think Dallas and Sacramento are the only threats. Hasn't KP focalized he doesn't want to be the center and would prefer playing the 4? Vuc isn't a perfect fit but someone like Zingis next to him would complement their games. Everyone else (like you said) either has bigger fish to fry this summer or is rebuilding/not going to spend big.

This is Vuc agent stirring up the pot. Nobody is going to offer Vuc a max.

I live in Dallas now and the word is that the desire for Vuc is way overstated. Their best line up will feature Zingus at the 5. That likely means they aren’t going to tie up huge money at the 5 spot.

Probably true, KP at the 5 would be best. I thought he said with NYK he wanted to play the 4, but stuff could’ve changed since then.

You don't win with centers anymore in the NBA. I'm ready to move on from Vuc. We should go all in on Middleton, Levert or Russell as our targets. Getting one of those guys with Fultz, Bamba, Issac would be a great offseason.

Not to mention that all 3 guys will command max or near max that Magic can't offer
oh and btw, 2 of 3 are restricted

Cousins dominated in a key Warriors road win over the Rockets, and we get this post
