Yes, i did mention that. But Klay and DLo backcourt is going to be a daily view on a comedy show channel.

Remains to be seen, they will zone up, and will try to play man with Flagg at the POA, but it can work.
It's not a contender rotation, but it can win enough RS games.


At this point if Christie made any progress during the off season, he would be a much better option at the 2. Then starting someone like DLo, would make more sense. But i think it's clear how thin they are at the guard spot if they're forcing OMax out with additional draft picks just to resign Exum. I guess they don't see much reliance in Klay and DLo. It still puzzles me what they'll do with BWill. He was insanely good when given the chance....

Jake Fischer reports that a resolution on finding a new home for O-Max Prosper or Jaden Hardy is expected to happen by 5 PM ET tomorrow.
Reason being that is the deadline to waive-and-stretch contacts, which is what the Mavs may ultimately have to do with Prosper or Hardy…

Wow... Another desperated move by Harrison, maybe his vision is not so clear... Does he need glasses?

Prosper, it kind of makes the most sense. But even with Hardy’s limitations, I’d be surprised if they have to waive and stretch him. It’s my understanding that he’s only got 2 years and $12 million left on his contract plus a team option year. You’d think some lottery team might look at him as a cheap risk

What I don't understand is why would we waive-and-stretch either Prosper or Hardy instead of Powell? Powell's not even an NBA player anymore. If anyone should be waive-and-stretched, it should be him. Then just hire him as a assistant coach or in some office position of some sort if he's liked so much.

This organization is a completely mess leaded by a man who just tries to save his job.

I can immagine the plan/vision behind the Hardy resign 12 months ago if they stretch him now... Or behind Martin trade....

A lot of no sense moves followed by a rigged/lucky lottery. It's all a mess.

OMax showed flashes of being a serviceable role player someday but didn't get enough chances with Kidd who constantly experiments with lineups. I mean, BWill only got lucky because literally every player went down with an injury or illness last season.

Hardy has also been decent when his role was purely as a catch&shoot guy. Obviously Kidd decided he wants to use Hardy more as a combo guard which didn't work at all.

Then we have Powell, who could release a plague on humanity and still get a role on the team for some weird reason.

All in all, using 1st round pick and not even developing your young guys is insanely counterproductive. They're basically trying to get rid of two young guys for freaking Exum, just ridiculous. I'm honestly worried what the hell they're going to do with Flagg and what his role will be.

Yep. One of the most important players on the team and a true glue guy, Nico has to do everything to keep him.

O-max waived and stretched. Good job Harrison. Another great move.
The vision is for real.

Exum is the perfect partner for street clothes, maybe they will play 82 games. Combined.

The Mavericks ownership is an absolute mess right now. I don't know why we gave up on O-Max like that....

I love me some Exum, but he is often hurt and can't play. If Exum was so damn good, why wouldn't any other team offer him a contract?

This is the last year of the old tax levels, next year will be the new tax regime, and Mavs will be repeater tax offenders, Addleson's pockets will be tested, it won't be Suns level, but more than Celtics and Wolves last year, they'll easily cross the 300M in payroll + taxes.

It is not fair to say that Omax or Hardy were not given chances to play, especially we have so many injuries in the past season. Omax is so raw, and often look completely no direction on the court. Hardy can only has 1 good game after 9 bad games, obvious low bball IQ. They are min level player, and that is why no one want them in the trade.

I didn't say they weren't given a chance, i said often they weren't used in the right role and there was time when Kidd completely forgot about OMax even if he played good. OMax was obviously expandable with Flagg incoming.

I don't like them and i don't think they will ever be rotation players for a contender but stretch and waive a player is a FO failure.
O-max is a first round pick wasted.

But if they will stretch and waive Hardy after resign him it's worse than a failure.

Jaden Hardy may take a leap like he did in many areas of his game.

He has been given plenty of chances on the last few years, and he clearly showed that he is a typical undersized scoring guard, that plays poor defense, while his scoring and shooting is also very inconsistent, limited ability on driving to the loop, and limited passing. What a waste of 6M cap space, the only lucky thing is his last year being a team option.

Hate to see OMax go but at least we didn't have to give up picks to move him which is what I thought would happen.

Hard to believe Powell is still on this team though but at least he will be tradeable by the deadline.
