I really want 2 top 10 picks

I'm also curious if they'd be able to land another lotto pick for Randle (Kings?). helps 2-fold: gives us another pick in the lotto and strengthens our odds. even if they don't move up, they'd have the ammo to do so w/ the extra picks
probably a better chance Julius “Magic” Randle gets extended than us trading him


yeah, unfortunately I think you're right. might as well gauge Obi's value b/c he'll never have a significant role here w/ Randle

February schedule is looking kind of easy for the Mavs. We need them to have a quick meltdown or for Luka to miss a few games.

This month is crucial for us and them.

I hope we trade for more first round picks. Nothing brings us all together like the collective hatred of some other team when their failure benefits us. Such a warm fuzzy feeling. This must be how fans of other teams felt about us all those years we didn’t have any picks

Doesn't look all that easy, they aren't a given to win at home, they've been blown out a few times there and they're only 2-5 at home so far.

Think of all those teams cheering for our demise. Suns, Jazz, Bulls, Raptors, Nuggets... **** them all. And the rest of the teams.

But, to the Mavs, **** you especially. You just got Knick'd.

Maybe.... this is why those franchises hate us.... because I think we all feel a certain level of spite towards the mavs and do enjoy their failures.

But this isn't just normal schadenfreude, which I'm always down for in sports. See, in that picture the person only gets joy because the other person is falling. In this case not only is there the potential for the other team to fall but for us to rise as a result. And the failure will be the precise way that the Knicks used to fall, to the benefit of other teams. This has the potential to be a truly special moment of schadenfreude for all of us.

Let your hair down. It's enough to celebrate that we've had other teams' first rounders for two years in a row in addition to ours. The rest is gravy. We're finally **** doing it right. Just don't pull the football and screw it up, Lucy Dolan.
