All Eyes On Me

Lot of smoke and mirrors coming over the next 48 hours. I wouldn’t believe anything I didn’t see posted by Shams or Woj. We know the drill! lol

https://www.si.com/nba/mavericks/news/coach-carlisle-threatened-nba-dallas-mavs-luka-doncic-job-jamahl-mosley Liked him enough to scare Carlisle into quitting. Do I think there’s more than like a 1% chance of it ever happening? No… but what’s the point of a message board if we can’t be obscenely optimistic sometimes. lol

Mosley is the coach until we’re 1000% sure we’re out of the Luka sweepstakes. I’m not gonna lie, after the Kyrie trade I think Luka forcing out and wanting to come play for his favorite coach he’s ever had coach him is not out of the realm of possibilities if things go as south as they could in Dallas.

We’re 17-12 in our last 29 with this group. Wemby obviously puts us into a whole nother level, but even without him and looking at 2 potential top 10 picks, man it’s a good time to be a Magic fan

Yeah I think I agree, even though flashy trade deadlines are more fun. We move Bamba and Hampton, we try to move and if we can’t we buy out T-Ross and let him sign with a contender. I still think we could use a better backup 5, but with how well the bench unit has been gelling lately, maybe we just leave well enough alone.

I think if any team gets KD, it’ll be Phoenix. Think they’d go all in. I was just playing with the trade machine and something like this works: Orlando gets Mikal Bridges Suns get Kevin Durant and Mo Bamba Nets get Deandre Ayton and Jalen Suggs I don’t even know if I like it, but it’s interesting

I dunno why Brooklyn would do that. Feel like they want a boatload of picks and prospects for KD, not 2 above average, older players that keep you in fringe playoff range instead of letting you bottom out. Ugh, is it Thursday yet?!

Mauro, what would you be willing to give up for 34 year old Kevin Durant that would get the deal done and absolutely not tank our future? I’d be more interested in Cam Thomas from the Nets, or jumping on as a 3rd team for Mikal or another young player who fits our timeline better.

Last thought on the deal and apologies for multiple posts, but this had to have been done by the Nets so quickly to give them time to get a KD deal done by the deadline.

Didn’t want any part of him here, but this might be the cheapest an established star has ever been traded for

Mavs didn’t have to give up much for Kyrie. Dinwiddie traded back to a team that traded him like 3 years ago lol

Great win. Big props to Caleb for being ready for those Suggs minutes tonight!

Great 2nd quarter. Ball movement was excellent and the defense was much better.

He was super active on the offensive glass. Great to see

Perimeter defense is killing us early, there guards are having a field day
