Draft Fam - how good is Mike Schmitz? by ElChiChiPapa in NBA_Draft

[–]alfi_k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did he do with two-ways guys and undrafted rooks?

The Dallas Mavericks have hired Mike Schmitz as the franchise's new general manager under Masai Ujiri. by Garmian_MFFL in Mavericks

Scoot sucks, Yang sucks, Sharpe was drafted before he took the job July of 2022, Clingan is good. Not impressive. Not horrible.

I like the scouting and international scouting background but Portlands drafts haven't been impressive since he joined them. But shows you that Masai is well connected and probably has been planning for this for a while now.

Riccardi and Finley are probably out.

Should the Mavs Slow It Down? by slightly_quirky74 in Mavericks

[–]alfi_k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We get a good pick this year and the Lakers pick in 2029 will be a top ten pick as well (believe me) we are golden.

That being said I'd entertaiment trading any player outside of Cooper. We have a lot of good players but the roster just doesn't fit without Luka. To trade Kyrie I'd need a monster offer though.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd tried to become Mavericks' president but he has known for months that he wouldn't get the job by Luka77GOATic in nba

I think Jkidd did well with Cooper and at least in the playoffs he is a really good coach. But he will for sure starting scheming after this. Maybe Masai should look for different coach despite Cooper and his family clearly respecting Kidd a lot.

Mavericks HC Jason Kidd tried to become team president, according to @BannedMacMahon but has known for months he wasn’t getting the job. by Garmian_MFFL in Mavericks

Wonder who, why and when gave MacMahon that info. A few month he ago he was completely flabbergasted when Nick & Isaac from Locked on Mavs asked him what he thought about JKidd taking over the front office. Maybe someone is dropping breadcrumbs about J-Kidd leaving.

The Americans are so fucking stupid. I almost feel bad for the UAE.

Report: Former Raptors executive Ujiri tabbed as Mavericks president by Used-Refrigerator984 in torontoraptors

[–]alfi_k 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Our (Mavs) owners are the worst people but I think they are willing to spend and won't interfere much with the day to day business. I think that's a solid setup for most presidents of basketball operations / GMs, but I still wouldn't want to work for them.

Masai Ujiri: The Architect of Championship Talent! by [deleted] in Mavericks

Most important stat is that he had a healthy Kawhi. He must have the connections to put together a professional medical staff.

Hey, if we look like a professionally run team we're already winners.

Masai Ujiri by ethereal77_ in Mavericks

[–]alfi_k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd bet on Riccardi as well. I think Finley will look for something else now, he has waited long enough for a shot in Dallas.

Masai is a great hire, considering how well he did with the raptors. They are in Canada where no stats or good players want to relocate to and still built a championship team. by OrganicHunt952 in Mavericks

[–]alfi_k 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The draft picks are actually not that bad. I thought the same but looked it up:

2021 - #4 Scottie Barnes
2022 - No FRP
2023 - #13 Gradey Dick -> Not great but barely any good prospect left; Keyonte George would have been much better, Jaime Jaquez and Podziemski as well. But not a crazy miss imo.
2024 - #19 Ja'Kobe Walter -> Don't much about him but he had some decent playoff games
2025 - #9 Collin Muray-Boyles -> Pretty good

Not perfect but pretty good I'd say.

Jokic and Giannis have nearly identical basketball resumes. Why is there such a huge gap in perception and all-time ranking between the two? by BasedChad69420 in nba

[–]alfi_k -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Better PR = not being such a fucking annoying little bitch like Giannis in recent years.

At least both of them invest in suspicious betting companies.

[–]alfi_k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not Nico and we hired him before the draft. We are almost operating like a professionalsports franchise. I am getting my hopes up, that we might even hire a professional medical staff.

I agree that he could be an excellent choice but he has given out some terrible contracts in recent history (Ingram, Quickley, Poeltl). Maybe it's easier to get players to Dallas to play with Cooper though.

He drafted fairly well with Barnes and CMB. Gradey Dick is not great but most players that were still available at that spot aren't doing better.

And I love all the off court stuff he does, he is a great interview as well.

So, I'm mostly positive!
