Guess they dont want to pay Gobert what hhe thinks he is worth. If someone gives him a giant contract it will be a new drummond contract. I just prays we dont get involved

How times have changed. Two seasons ago they traded him to us and they fell apart.

Shams Charania: Free agent Goran Dragic has agreed to a two-year, $37.4M deal to re-sign with the Miami Heat, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

Bobby Marks: 12 roster spots in LAL. $4.5M below the hard cap. Good enough for 2 more veteran minimum contracts

Jordan doesn't keep the franchise player Kemba but he signs Hayward to this contract. Jordan has wanted him for years.

The Western Conference is stronger than ever. I expect a very competitive regular season. Only Houston and Denver is taking a step back. But the Mavs has made significant change to a playoff-friendly roster. The Mavs could have achieved something had KP performs right. Injuries could make a big difference in standing coming season. Hawks is on the rise as well in Eastern Conference in Nash's Pheonix team's manner.

I think the Mavs will take a step forward in standing because the team doesn't need to figure out the most effective lineup compared to first season. Because Porzingis has already involved in Mavs offense and the usage will continue to improve. While there're a lot of newcomers, the role in plays are very simple. Defense and corner 3s. The Mavs may not take a long time to figure things out. And depth matter a lot in a shorten season. The Mavs has 15 playable roster. That's significant to offset injury issues. The only question mark is on frontcourt rotation. Even Hinton could make the team barring any mid-season trade involving TH / J-Rich with Green and/or Bey, Brunson. I think Hinton is also underrated addition. Defense and corner 3s are best part of Hinton's game. So is rebounding. That's perfect in a lot of scenario. Terry is also underrated draft. I expect a significant role changes by season end. Burke's signing is also underrated. Having Burke and Barea to take all Brunson and Wright's minutes will give the Mavs an edge in second unit plays. The Mavs might exceed expectations in a lot of ways. The Mavs might also has the luxury to have load management a lot coming season.

Callie Caplan: Mark Cuban said on @dfwticket he expects to lose more than $100 million before NBA season gets back to normal: “I’ll keep on paying our folks. It’s just the right thing to do, but at the same time, we need to get back into our normal seasonality.”

Pau Gasol seems to want to make an NBA comeback: https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/260768/Pau-Gasol-Attempting-NBA-Comeback

Should the Mavs be interested?

2021 Giannis watch is on:

https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/260769/Giannis-Antetokounmpo-Not-Focused-On-Supermax-Decision

Not like there is much to negotiate on a SuperMax deal, so this sounds like pure evasion. The Bucks better make it to the Finals or Giannis is gone.
