Yes but Denver shouldn’t do that. Gordon does a lot of good things off the ball for them
Dallas shouldn't either.
How would you get scoring into our starting lineup?
DFS is already our 3/4 3&D glue guy. I don't see Gordon adding that much more to command a premium price.

They have a ton of money tied up in Lebron, AD, Kuzma, and KCP already... $105M and If Harrell opts in that is another 10M taking them to $115M... Cap holds for Caruso and Schroeder is another 30M (can't see how they dont let Schroeder walk)
Do we think if we offered THT the money that would have gone to THJ that we could make that work and LA would be forced to let him go? (3 years, 60M declining)
I think his upside is extremely interesting, and he has the body type/length to be the versatile defender next to Luka... biggest question is could we get his 3pt% up...

THT will go wherever Rich Paul tells him to go. In that case, it will be helping Lebron in the playoffs to build his legacy. Lebron gets a cut from their earnings anyway. Same with Trez Harrell.

Mavs need to do well on a couple of players on the lower end of the salary spectrum too this offseason. They never even seem to try here. What other diamond in the rough types are out there that could join the top 10 rotation here?

Because both PG and Kawhi are not not playing beast mode unlike in our series. The lack of defense in our perimeter and rim protector really making the difference.
Mavs fans talk about the Mavs passing on Giannis for $900K but it’s not brought up enough that they also passed on Donovan Mitchell for Dennis Smith Jr.

No, it's not mentioned enough, and they also missed on Bam Adebayo (one spot later after Spida). However, Mitchell was not viewed as a top 10 pick going into the draft. I heard something to the effect of the Jazz had a private workout with Mitchell, and like 20 minutes their GM pulls his agent aside and says we're taking him, but only if you don't do any other workouts for any other teams and don't grant any more interviews, etc. I don't remember the exact details, just that the Jazz let it be known they wanted Mitchell and they discouraged his agent from making him available to other teams. Credit them for recognizing his talent.
I still don't understand the DSJ pick. I remember Carlisle signing his praises on draft night because they talked on Facetime once. That marriage never seemed like the right fight, even at the time. I also think DSJ is a better player than he's shown (or maybe will ever get a chance to show), and that just his ego & immaturity has sidelined his career.

The Mantra "we love our guys in blue" is bull, we need talent. Wake up Cuban!

It can also be an excuse for Cuban not to spend as much this year given the pandemic situation. I understand he owns some restaurants in Dallas and they for sure have taken a hit financially. It's just out of character for him to admit it because he's Mr. Shark Tank and all.

The Jazz will have to make the decision, Conely, Bogie or Jingles, one has to go, their actions as FO are very puzzling to me, they could've ducked the tax this year so that they don't become repeaters next year, and they extended Jingles for the next year knowing their cap situation, but I'm sure they have their motives.
