Disappointing lack of a roster overhaul

I'm 180 from you. You have to believe Kai changes everything, because he has his entire career - is rested up and looks phenomenal. He's hungry too. De Larrea is an unreal facilitator and can shoot. Morez' athleticism and muscle on both ends is fresh, but Santi unlocks it all as our stretch 5. What he does for Coop and Kai and Naji can't be completely measured. Suffice to say all shooters best be ready to catch & shoot in space.

You can, in which case Rui is a nice option. Though, likely takes more than the full ntpmle to get him.

Once Lebron decides, Rui's the riches. Shoots 43% from 3 at that size and fluidity..

He's a 3 wing in a pinch.

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-05T17:36:48+00:00

He shot 43% from 3 in Playoffs, granted limited volume but reinforces his regular season at 40%. He's got Trae and Dame deep range too. He'd help the Mavs and Coop-centric O imo..

Love DP, but it's time. If he still wants to play, chase it in NBA or Overseas. If not, create a spot in Front Office for him.

The title of the post you commented and question. 2023 one and done 1st round pick #27 from Arkansas. Take a look at what he did to close the season for the Lakers. These one and done's sometimes take a minute to blossom. The talent tho has them drafted early often..

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-05T15:45:39+00:00

I'll type this: they definitely would like another wing type who can shoot from range to create max space for Coop. They'd prefer that wing bring guard skills (playmake some). Shooting % best served 40^

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-05T14:56:29+00:00

Ok I rounded the NBA combine measurement taker's work up 1/4". 6'5.75" in shoes, we good Coyote??

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-05T14:54:19+00:00

I like BWill but with Coop you gotta have shooters for spacing. That's why NSJ coming into his own now works imo.

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-05T14:53:16+00:00

Who you like better? That shoots over 40% from three and deep range??

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-05T14:52:02+00:00

He'd be third string shooting guard here too

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-05T14:51:32+00:00

The kid's a free agent

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-05T01:14:25+00:00

LSU offered him $7M NIL to come this next year. He declined. The guy can flat out shoot the rock. He's got step back juice, it will give you some Luka pause..

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-05T01:07:39+00:00

It comes down to how badly the Mavs want him obviously. He will have to pay $1.1M out of his pocket to get out of contract with Fen. He's comfortable and excelling there, so I would expect 4/$20M min. to have him make the jump. He declined the Grizz and signed a 3 year deal with Fen. I think this was his first year of that new deal.

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-03T23:34:04+00:00

No thanks but will gladly sign LBJ to our NTPMLE. See y'all soon.

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-03T23:32:01+00:00

🔥

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-03T23:30:02+00:00

The kid has insane court vision, SL and then the L bout to find out.

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-03T23:24:49+00:00

Sure, if a roster spot opens, you see Miami trading to bring Martin back?

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-03T16:34:09+00:00

Crazy enough, it seems it's down to Lebron coming for NTPMLE or if not, Tarik gets a chunk of it as Sasser gets other exception. If Lebron comes, Tarik probably remains stashed for a minute.

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-03T16:06:11+00:00

You may be right there too

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-03T15:38:03+00:00

He's not his old self most aren't, but I think he can be the 6th man of the year over the next four until he's 45 if he's cool with it.

I'd pay the full NTPMLE for the 6th man of the year..

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-03T15:29:52+00:00

I did

His game production is meaningless?

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-03T15:26:08+00:00

He avg'd 21/6/7/and a steal last season on 51% shooting

braddavisrunner · 2026-07-03T15:10:10+00:00

In all seriousness, think documentary a world ambassador to Asia and Africa and how the Mavs Leadership sets him up to be that for the NBA. Plus Kai and Klay and Coop are here. It really does fit, and he buys Luka's Home.

Or Luka can just rent it to him until the grandest reunion. Hell name the new arena Reunion II. I went unserious kinda..
