Did he say DJJ is priority "1A AND 1B"? I thought I heard "1A, 1B" which I took to mean. "He's priority 1A. Or, at least, 1B" which would make more sense to me. He doesn't seem like an everything priority to me, though he could be 1A.
ОтветитьRun it back without THJ. This is the best roster the Maves have had. Making moves to make moves is stupid
ОтветитьGive Hardy and Exum THJ's minutes and OMax gets Maxi minutes.
ОтветитьHardy is better than THJ he could be third scorer
ОтветитьNick…we don’t have bird rights for DJJ per Spotrac.
ОтветитьTake a break Nick, don't make pointless content like ESPN
ОтветитьSpend all the money under the cap.
ОтветитьGive this same team 82 games to form chemistry. We won 50 with injuries to Kyrie, Lively and poor Seth Curry. The 2 big trades helped claw our way back in to the top 6. (we started the season top 4 with Exum and Grant Williams balling)
Ответить58th pick is the last one, so why would Dallas give a 3 year guaranteed contract to a young prospect when they may very well not use that draft spot and take the same player in the summer league or give him a 2 way contract?...
Maybe Omax will get 8 min/game, if he will use properly his garbage min...
Just trade THJ for whatever player for 1 year!.. 😂
Really feel like losing kleber won’t hit as hard if/when lively finally gets the green light to start shooting.
Ответитьthanks nick
ОтветитьMaxi? Whaaat?!
ОтветитьRun what back? We got smothered like Dacia Lacey's baby...
ОтветитьI would leave the core alone... its never a good idea to mess up the chemistry... i would get rid of THJ and mybe maxi and try to get anosther rollplayer mybe but i would leave the core alone
ОтветитьEvery other team in the west is going to get better either through trade/free agency/draft. To think this current iteration of the team without improvements will still beat every other team that has gotten better would be naive.
ОтветитьNico shot his load the last couple years and now he's in the refractory zone
ОтветитьIf you add anyone you will never really see the fruits of Omax, and Hardy who have great potential. Its hard to hear but we should not be adding depth pieces who steal experience from Omax, Hardy and Green, not unless they are bundled in a trade. I think for us to be competitive Hardy has to take that next step and so does Omax. Omax is 6'8 245 pounds, he could be a problem if he puts it together.
Ответитьwhether its Lively or PJ or DJJ, SOMEBODY has to be that third guy next season
Ответитьa final piece replacing thj will make this team
ОтветитьWe lost because their role players are really good at everything. Our role players are kinda focused on certain traits. That's going to be very hard to change.
ОтветитьNico thinks this team he put together is adequate, not realizing it took luka to go god mode to even make it to the finals. In the nba if you arent improving your regressing. Look at the celtics, they added porzingis and holiday after making the finals and they had a much deeper core than anything the mavs have. Also denver basically had their hangover year last year they will be better, and okc is in position to add a markannen as well as other pieces while also having lots of draft capitol. First or second round exit if mavs run it back.
ОтветитьFrom the realistic names ive heard floated, some combination of Grant, Thybulle, Clarkson, and (me floating this one) Duop Reath...in place of THJ, Green, and Kleber. Basically run it back but with a few upgrades. The Mavs need decent depth more than they need a splashy move...a well-rested Luka and some more offense should give them a better shot at getting over the hump.
I dont see them keeping DJJ if they somehow get both wings, but if they did then I'll bring some old jewelry they can melt down to help build the Nico statue. If they can manage to keep one of Omax or Hardy then that's just icing.
We not beating Boston in a series of 7 without a 3rd scorer . Running it back or not and we still gone need 24 from Kyrie .
Ответитьnick we could always buy into the second round for players like,
1.Nikola Djurisic
2.Pacome Dadiet
3.Tristen Newton
Tell Nico we need a new coach
ОтветитьSitting on your hands this offseason from a roster building standpoint is just as much of a risk as taking a swing for a third creator. If Nico believes this team needs a third option to win he’s going to have to acquire one eventually anyways. If you do it now you have the better part of the season to evaluate fit and make marginal improvements at the trade deadline. As a supporter of the team I’d much rather a busy and hectic offseason and quiet trade deadline as that would imply the team is in a good position in a conference that is only going to get more and more difficult to succeed in.

Doesn’t it seem like getting off of Tim’s contract to just to sign DJJ who was on a vet minimum is taking a step back?
ОтветитьI think he basically will look to build on the core of the 7-8 players.. so he will continue to be opportunistic in the draft and free agency
ОтветитьDJJ stays loyal and signs for the 5.2 MLE.
OG wants a 40mil contract, and the Knicks refuse to give it to him. They don't want to lose him for nothing, Mikal Bridges wants to come to the Knicks, so they call their good ol buddy Mavs. OG signs 4/160 and traded to the Mavs. The Mavs send THJ, Green, Kleber, & a first to the Nets. The knicks get Bridges & send 2, maybe 3 picks to the Nets. Everybody wins.
The Mavericks then pick up Russell Westbrook (or another vet option at PG) on a vet minimum.
Mavericks start Luka, Kyrie, DJJ, OG, & Lively with Westbrook, Hardy, Exum, PJ, & Gaff as their backups. I like that team's chances
Hey Nick,
How far under the 1sr apron would the Mavs be if they only bring back DJJ and drop THJ?
He said the core is intact. I took that as those players are untouchable. He said nothing about improving on the fringes.
ОтветитьYour thinking is what led to that collapse in 2023. What if I told you a team (or two) that you beat didn't mind you being the one to take the ass kicking from Boston? OKC at least. LAC, without a healthy Kawhi, probably. Plus, you don't beat the Nuggets or the Lakers if you drew either of them. There is still the Kyrie at TD Garden issue.
ОтветитьI think they’ll build. They have their players it’s just like maybe a piece or two. They’ll improve. Nico has proven to be a good gm
ОтветитьKeep Luka ,kyrie, PJ ,Lively, gafford, DJJr. That’s it everybody else gotta go
ОтветитьShould be ready and willing to trade anyone and everyone except Lively (so he can improve alongside of 77). Especially Kyrie, while there are still enough dummies who think that he’s way better than he actually is.
ОтветитьIn Nico I trust. In Nick A steady I trust.
ОтветитьI think Omax is still a year away. But kid looks strong on defense. Dont think his offense will keep him in game.
ОтветитьWe need a third scorer that's good also on defense, unlike our two star scorers who got exposed in the finals series. Trade off our worst role players who don't offer much hardaway, hardy, Powell, kleiber and upgrade in those positions. I enjoyed this season. My favorite since 2011, but the mavericks still can improve. The Boston Big 3 Tatum, Brown, kp, and their role players worked us over, and I'm sure they are not trying to change much as they almost swept every team in the playoff they played. Look forward to improvements when they decide. Gafford and pj Wash were good additions this year. Lively had a great rookie year too!
ОтветитьRun it Back!
Take a flyer on Jabari Parker, bring him back to the states.
MFFL
ОтветитьIf we are committed to DJJ then we need a 3pt option guard and 3ND Power Forward/Tween Center off the bench. Hardy maybe can be that 3pt option Guard but its wise to find a dante Exum option on the market.
ОтветитьIf any team other than Boston made it out of the East we’d be champions. Chemistry and continuity for once may not be so bad.
ОтветитьThis is like an evening newspaper.
Ответитьi feel like mavs are not gonna make any moves this season. they will try to run it back with these players includig the toung players like omax, lawson, and hardy in the rotation prob with more minutes hoping they'd improve coming into the ssn and if they don't thats where nico will make a decision andove at the trade deadline again.
Ответитьidk how people look at the moves nico's made so far and think "man, this guy is content with making it to the finals". they want to win and i trust that they will take the final step needed or what they perceive it to be in order to get there
ОтветитьHe did say 10-15% better. That's not doing nothing
ОтветитьSeems like if Nico said Green & Maxi are not in the future plans, other NBA GM's would low-ball the hell out of him.
But $24m is too much to spend on your 7th & 8th man, and when you add it to THJ's contract, you get $40m of horribly inefficient use of salary cap.
No
ОтветитьHe better be showing his poker face? Run it back? So you satisfied with 5 seed, having to play Luka way too many mins. Resigning DJ #1 priority? And his shooting % in finals is ok? Luka's D and shooting 3 % is ok? Gafford and Liv performance in finals is ok? Guys we were exposed. We gotta have a 3rd solid DEPENDABLE player. No changes then Luka better be superman again, yes he is only 25 but he has been playing professionally since like 16 yrs old. His body is not one of a 25 add to that his athleticism and weight i just dont see him playing at a high level after 31 or 32. Hope im wrong but with Irving also I think we have max a 3 or 4 year window. We need proven quality dependable players now. Way too much dead weight and the bright lights are too bright for most of our roster.
ОтветитьWe get rid of THJ, sign DJJ, bring in one other decent ball handler, then make the pieces we have stronger. Exum is a good ball handler when he has confidence so that would be the area he would work to be better on when he comes back. I think Nico is right that we have the pieces for the most part and if everyone comes back 5-10% better, with a full year of playing together, they can be the 1 seed.
