Unless one of these top big men in the draft is a generational type scorer, I'd just choose whichever guy plays the best defence. Don't want to end up in a situation like Minnesota where both of our young stars are sus on defense, even IF both guys are extremely talented

This shyt is weird as hell but I would actually make a play for Jahil Okafor. I doubt we keep Noel but if we could pair them at the 4 and 5 with Dennis, Barnes are the 3 and then draft the best wing player in available over 6'5.

Otherwise get the best offensive big man and resign Noel.

I hate to say it but either Dirk needs to go or come off the bench.

I was beginning to think that maybe Carlisle was being too tough on Nerlens but come on, there seems to be an effort issue with this guy. He decided to bet on himself this year and it's going terribly so far. He clearly thinks he is better than he really is, you can sense that from Carlisle too when he had a little pop at Nerlens before the Sixers game when he was asked about Embiid

Don't know if any of you listen to the Locked On Mavericks podcast but one of the guys on there came up with trading Nerlens to Boston for one of their 2019 picks (from Clippers or Grizzlies). He's a Boston guy and they can add a player with a cap hit similar to Nerlens' because of the Heyward injury. Might be something to look at :patrice:

Nerlens is gonna need to get his shyt together first before Boston even think about it tho :beli:

Can't lose them all, and I have no problem denting the tank every now and then if we get to see more performances like that from Dennis :whoo:

Plus the Kings won so that's good

He's getting comfy out there :noah:. Rick Carlisle is a dream coach for an undersized PG.

I was highed up last night and fell asleep and didn't see the game. Just watched the game recap and see that Dennis Smith balled out in a losing effort. :blessed:

5-77

I'm made I missed the college games yesterday too. I'm tryna scout Dirk's replacement.

We picked the best yrs to be trash. Picked up DSJ last yr and should get a baller this yr, to help the rebuild.
Dirk is a legend and is good in any hood in DFW but it's time for him to hang it up. He'll never have to pay for a drink in Dallas and he'll get a statue. I'm cry during that press conference
:mjcry:

Ayton
Porter Jr
Bamba

let's get it

Took the #1 team in the league to OT. Not bad

Competitive losses are the way to go

Looks like the Bottom 5 could become a Bottom 4. I think The Suns will pick up a few more wins here and there than the Mavs, Kings, Bulls and Hawks. Can't believe the Clippers have only two more wins than the Mavs :picard:

should I be surprised that the Hawks are this bad though? as for the Mavs, compete but don't even accidentally go on a 3 game winning streak.
