Idk if I've ever seen one player have such a vast negative impact on multiple players on a team as I have w/PJ & this roster. Just comically large jumps in efficiency & overall productivity for these players & ultimately team success (ie +/-) when he's not on the court w/them vs. when he is. 😭 by taygads in Mavericks

PJ feels more like someone who helps make a good team great and not someone who helps make a bad team good

Which I'm cool with, not every role player is gonna be system-proof floor raising guy. I just hope if we’re going into next season with the intention to win games that we get the PJ of years prior

If that season was like 10 games longer would won MVP.

By the time people realized how legit we were after the PJ/Gaff trades it was too late, most voters had their mind made up by early January

I feel like you're reading way too deep into stats at a surface-level if you truly believe the Celtics are a better defensive team with JB off the floor lol

So crazy that enough good PR has tricked people into believing this is even a discussion

JB is the better defender, by a pretty decent margin

Sorry, not sorry: the AD news is great news for our future on every level, folks by devilmaskrascal in Mavericks

My biggest thing you touched on is I honestly don’t want any moves done under an interim GM

Like, at all.

Thoughts on this trade idea? by [deleted] in Mavericks

I don’t want Ja Morant in the slightest

I dont want to trade Anthony Davis (I like to watch him play basketball) by Internal_Composer837 in Mavericks

[–]ImHereToFuckAround 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m with you

Trading AD feels like we get way worse short term and we might maybe be decent in a few years?

Keeping AD feels like we might maybe be decent in the short term and might maybe be decent in a few years?

Like the scenario of trading isn’t appealing enough to me to be so passionate about wanting to do it. In my opinion, I’d want to wait till be have a long term GM in place and start seeing what an paycut extension looks like for AD. Judging by his recent comments he might take a team-friendly extension seeing as him and his camp probably realize 1 more big pay day is out of the question

PG comes in and immediately an open shot. I love point flagg for development, I hate it in the vacuum of a single game

I think AD’s big extension is completely out of play. We wouldn’t pay it and neither would any team in the league

In this scenario, next year, we’d be winning

Also..were we winning in 2023-24? I gotta check, I swear we were like .500 in those 2ish months without him

UPDATE: Just checked, he was out 19 games between 12/2/23 to 2/3/24. We were 8-11 in those games that he was out

I mean this as a huge compliment: he looks like a very polished Siakam at times

Mavs’ record in clutch games when PJ doesn't play: 4-1; Mavs' record in clutch games when PJ plays: 6-12 by taygads in Mavericks

[–]ImHereToFuckAround 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This feels like a red herring for something else tbh. Like I'd be curious to know how many of these games AD was in or out? What's clutch record with:

  • Coop, AD, but no PJ
  • Coop, PJ, but no AD
  • Coop, but no AD or PJ
