If you consider all the past year history of Dlo and Dinwiddie, DLo is the better shooter, ball handler than Dinwiddie. Dinwiddie may be better on defensive end due to better side, and may be better in drawing fouls, but that's all.

This also explains why 1 of them is picked second, while another is picked in second round.

Hence, Dlo is better fit on what DAL needs right not. And mini MLE for Dlo, you can't ask for better than that.

CHI has Vucevic, Collins and Smith all currently can play in the C position. Although it is clearly that all of them may not be the future of their C. But they should not be rush to acquire C, unless that target has the potential to be part of their future C.

I read that Ayton has the same agent as Luka. He should put him in a nice situation in LA than Indiana. He plays well this year and gets to sign a bigger contract next year.

Yeah he does. I think IND doesn't even have cap space to sign him? Windy was reporting the only other competitor for him were Bucks who just got Turner.

Boston is done without any center. I am surprised that Boston is not in mix. I think Boston needs 2 bigs

I would assume Celtics are going with a soft tank route next season. Tatum injury plus expensive salaries kinda forced them into a fire sell. I think they know they won't be competitive either way.

Boston will punt next season as they are not going to be competitive at all.

Russell / Hardy / Williams - PG
Irving / Klay Thompson / Max Christie - SG
Flagg / Washington / Marshall - SF
Davis / Martin / Prosper - PF
Lively/ Gafford / Powell - C

If Flagg starts, that means he does at 18 - everything I wanted PJ to do for this team. Being a draymond lite. I'm not sure anyone ever tried to develop PJ but we'll see if Flagg can do those things I was hoping PJ would do. Kidd will be having him work on handling in summer league.

I think Hardy is more a Ben Gordon undersized SG than a PG.

Is it true that Dame will join Nuggets as well? That's ridiculous. What a great front office!

This is good. 3rd string PG who's familiar with the system. We got 16 guys though.

Glad to have Exum back for another year. Maybe the injury bug won’t hit him again.

Awesome, very competitive battle between the 2 softest guys in the league AD and Exum. Who misses more games?

Vogel agreed to be the assistant, great news, what makes it more promising is that they must've paid well, enough for him to give up his Suns salary

Very happy about this. Vogel is a good coach and will help stablize the coaching bench.

And with Vogel they already have a headcoach when Kidd leaves or gets fired. Excellent

I mean logically you'd cut DP who really adds nothing to a front-court that is this stacked. Now we all know that won't happen so it's gotta be the Omax rumour probably for cash and a 2nd or something like that but I think we'd end up regretting that long term, he finally started to show something last year and is still young.

Stein's reporting that Mavs are looking to add Penberthy and Handy as assisntants to go along with Vogel and Triano.

These are good coaches IMO. Phil Handy should bring along Flagg nicely for his development.

Nobody cuts an All NBA talent from a roster. Dwight to Indiana for a first rounder. :nod:

Ayton signs with LA. DFS's let go by LA for 2026 big fish from rumors. That's why Lebron is argry of the management. Can I understand this as LAL wants to trade Lebron for something and build their team around somebody else, e.g. Steph Curry next offseason.

Don't cut player, try to dump them to the team in need of big forward or C. IND is a possible partner. Powell/Omax may have some roles there. Try to dump them, together with Hardy if possible, for minimal or nothing back.

Why would they want to rebuild around Steph Curry?
