Why would Dallas trade a PG who needs the ball and can kind of shoot for a a PG who needs the ball who can't shoot at all?

Aaaand right on cue

TRoss is doing his best Casper impression tonight

Did ?FTW jump out a window?

This game is a new level of depressing.

EF loooooool

I just don’t understand how an NBA guard can badly miss multiple wide open 3s as EF has tonight.

I don't think a team that gives Jerian Grant significant minutes really cares what people think. We might trade Vuc, we might let him walk....but either way it won't be based on how it will make us look to the rest of the league.

I smell something

It's actually pretty funny how transparent the Mavs' attempts are right now. We, as modest fans, are laughing at how obvious these "WE'RE TALKING AND EVERYTHING'S FINE GUYZ" reports are...so think about how our FO sees it. I think they know we have them right where we want them. I still think it's more likely that we don't do a trade with them, but I also think it's pretty certain we're not going to do something stupid.

With our luck in the lotto, the one time we trade our pick unprotected, we'd end up getting the #1.

I think we're at the point where it's probably not going to happen, though there is still plenty of time. I'm proud of us for holding firm and not offering any of our young guys. No move is better than a bad move. The recent "hopeful reconciliation" reports do seem like a semi-desperate attempt to salvage some value, for sure. I just am not feeling to optimistic that we'll find a way to get it done.

That would be the hope. I'm just saying worst case, we end up with neither and there aren't many options to fill that roll. I am 100% on board with resigning Ross. I wish we had some way of knowing how receptive he'll be to that. I'm sure it's being discussed with his people already.

So we're all going to be focused on getting a PG, but if we trade EF and Ross walks we're going to be in a tough position at SG.

Can we trade that series of EF videos for a backup PG?

It's funny to think how bad Hennigan would have screwed this up already.

The Mavs are getting D.E.N.N.I.S.'d.

No one is saying they're untouchable. Just that we aren't interested in giving up one of them to get DSJ.

Yeah that's why we give them Simmons ; )

Yeah that's why we give them Simmons ; )

DAL has no leverage in this. There is no way we should even consider any of BIG. If this deal doesn't get done, I'd honestly count it as a positive, because it likely would mean that DAL demanded one of BIG and we walked away.

I think we definitely keep DJ in the SL. I think DSJ coming off the bench will be ideal while he learns our system. He could run the point or even move over to SG and play with Briscoe, pushing Ross to the 3.

Hope that's the case. Also, I meant Briscoe, not Caupain.

I see some speculation that DJ might be included in a potential trade with DAL. Personally, I'm not interested in that at all. Briscoe may well end up being a serviceable back up, but he's far from proven. Getting DSJ while losing DJ isn't really an upgrade for our rotation, at least for this season. DSJ could end up being good, but we already know what DJ is and how important he is for the team. Got to find a way to make that trade happen and keep DJ and allow DSJ to run with the second unit and add some firepower.

He was able to keep an eye on two defenders at the same time. It was actually a great advantage for him. Wouldn't make much of a difference in this 1 on 1 scenario, of course.
