The #Mavs have an excellent free throw shooting coach in Gary Boren who can help DeAndre Jordan with his FT issues. #form

They might get to keep their top 3 protected pick at this rate. As long as the ping pong balls dont go against them, they look like one of the worst teams easily.

I cringe every time I see guys penciling him in as our starting PG. Could be serviceable off the bench though.

SelbyCobra wrote:The HUGE problem with signing Tobias next offseason instead of this one is that his starting numbers explode with the cap next summer.
Summer 2015: $15.8 million max
Summer 2016: $21.0 million max
He was a perfect storm of youth, talent, production, and value this offseason if some team had figured out how to pry him away. Props to Orlando for creating enough doubt to keep anyone from really trying.

young solid players who can contribute on both sides of the rock
How can KJ contribute on off when he shoots less than 40% from the field and less than 30% from three. I sick of people wanting to pay a rookie second rounder who didn't get any burn the second half of the season 3.5 mil for what? put back dunks?

Grant: High IQ, acc all defensive
Afflalo: High IQ, still known as a good defensive player.
Porzingis: high IQ, shot blocking ability, stretches the floor.
I am happy. For once, We are building a team with complimentary players. They all play defense. They also all complement each other. With Lopez, Melo can play at 4 and Porz can as well. We need another big man, but no more clutter. We are building a team with spacing. And we are building a team with defense first. I am cool with it! When afflalo is coming off screens draining jumpers, Grant playing hard nosed D and Getting everyone involved, Porz draining 3s and blocking shots, Lopez setting hard screens not like those Amare screens. I think we will be pleased everyone. For once I cant say well how is this team going to play together. It seems we have the pieces right to be fluid at least

Not true. Devin Harris played over him in the fourth quarter because Calderon couldn't guard anyone. I remember that series. Nice try though.

That would be my plan now if I were in their shoes and they completely strike out in FA. Jeannie just about to take over.
