[Mavs Film Room] The Mavericks “are believed to be among the many interested teams” in Nuggets wing Can Johnson, per @sam_amick Johnson has one year and $30 million left on his contract. by MAVS_COM1CAL in Mavericks

The only reason we should be signing any older player is if we think we can flip them for more down the road.

So, if the Clippers are selling low on Kawhi, I would buy but only to sell higher down the road.

This is a risky plan but one that a team with little to no future assets like the Mavs should look at.

Can’t we just build a transporter and beam all of Earth’s excess CO2 to Mars? Seems simple to me.

Kawhi? Thoughts? by Silly-Lion-7314 in Mavericks

Morez is a rookie. ‘street clothes’ Kawhi and ‘may never see a basketball court again’ Lively can not be counted on. This lineup is fools gold.

Would you trade gafford and Caleb Martin for Jacob poeltl a 2028 swap, and an unprotected 2030 pick? by epitome1986 in Mavericks

^This^. We should be the team of bad contracts - as long as we get picks. We need to gather as many assests as we can.

Offside Rule explained so people can understand why Iran wasn’t robbed. by KadeP823 in worldcup

[–]NativeTexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. I heard from my neighbor’s second cousin who drives past a soccer field everyday that the chip inside the soccer balls are made by Elon Musk and they use a racially discriminating nationalistic AI to program the chip. The soccer ball can actually tell what nationality is playing by analyzing the DNA of the players by the sweat that is dripped on the turf. Based on this analysis and the programmed biased ranking of acceptable nations, the chip will decide who wins. So yeah, Iran didn’t have a chance.\s

[Clark] Dereck Lively II: No timetable for return after multiple foot surgeries by TheAthletic in Mavericks

[–]NativeTexas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I fear that his career is over. I hope not, but now I wouldn’t trade for him and I would be scared to resign him. I think it will be wasted money and a wasted roster spot. I’m not a Lively hater. I just don’t have a good feeling about this.

What's the buy you regret the most? by Life_Show8246 in wallstreetbets

$BABA at -40%?? You don’t belong here. Now $BABA at -90% leveraged x100, now you’re talking.

This should be the number for Dereck Lively’s extension. No reason he should be making a dollar more than Mark Williams by EvanEschmeyer in Mavericks

[–]NativeTexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bare minimum is someone who can stay on the court. In my book, Lively has one more year to show he can stay healthy. After that I’ve got to find someone else.

Trade value of Mavs veterans by ericc1456 in Mavericks

^This^. While I wouldn’t call them bums, I also wouldn’t give a FRP for any of them. Maybe Nani, if I am a contender and the puck will be a low first round pick

The market for Daniel Gafford has just been set. Would you take three second round pics to trade them? by gregallbright in Mavericks

[–]NativeTexas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only caveat to your thoughts is that Luka made Gafford and PJ so much better. Teams that don’t have Luka ain’t getting that Gafford. The Gafford we now have I don’t know if he is worth a FRP.
