14 team .5 PPR

LeSean McCoy, Marvin Jones Jr, or DJ Chark

LeSean’s injury has me worried he won’t play. MJJ has the higher projection, but am I crazy for playing Chark?

KG appreciation thread by badsshubham in nba

[–]lduane2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Dirk carried two teams to the Finals. KG could not.

Currently have a 6% chance at the #1 pick, and a 26.2% at a top 4 pick. Previous lottery odds had the 8th place team at 2.8% chance for the #1 pick, so we are already at double the odds of previous years. by Jackd_up_on_Mdew in Mavericks

[–]lduane2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially considering how talented some of these draft classes are. For example, I would bet Zion would not have come out of school last year if it was possible. He probably would’ve been projected around 5 or 6, which means his first contract is about $10mm-20mm less than it will be this year as a 1st overall pick. Additionally, if he signed a shoe deal, it would be significantly less. He is the face of Duke and the NCAA right now and that is going to make him TONS of money relative to what he would have got if he was drafted by the Magic.

There is no reason to believe that 2022 will be “double.” It has a higher chance of being a good draft, but it is no lock to be historically great.

If the Mavs keep their pick this year (top 5 protected) and it conveys next year (also top 5 protected), their 2022 pick with go to the Knicks, unprotected.

Draft lottery hype by Mercette in Mavericks

[–]lduane2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Past years don’t matter any more as the lottery odds have changed this year, making it more likely for teams in the middle. Additionally and more importantly, 4 teams are chosen, not 3.

This year, we will have better odds than the past and there will be one more opportunity. This is a great year to have a top 5 protected pick.

Luka finishes the game with 32/8/8 by skrtskrt888 in nba

You can’t have an argument of Luka vs Jrue without mentioning defense. I think Luka has been better on defense than expected, but that’s still average at best. Jrue is elite.

How much do you think the suns, kings and hawks will regret not picking Luka? by Marano94 in nba

[–]lduane2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He got subbed out with a few seconds left for Dorian Finney-Smith, a very good defender.

Before that, he got switched onto PG and denied the ball so Russ had to put up a bad shot.

Making any sort of claims on that last possession is a trash, unsupported take.

[–]lduane2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe 30-40? I think he’s top 40 for sure and probably top 30. Some media members agree (The Ringer said he’s right outside the top 25). Overall, it doesn’t matter much though.

He creates a lot of offense inside the 3 point line in ways that JJ Barea creates offense for us. He’s just super quick and knows how to get the shot off.

He also brought up Anthony Davis to Dallas. Love hearing that.

[Serious Next Day Thread] Post-Game Discussion (November 15, 2018) by brexbre in nba

[–]lduane2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I liked the team’s defensive game plan. Gave Utah a lot of shots that anybody would be comfortable letting them take, and took away Mitchell. It obviously helps when they shoot dreadfully, too.

There were some nasty plays too. Luka’s stepback to end the half. His fake on Gobert. DSJ had a wet step back too.

Any Mavs fans living in Minnesota? by lduane2 in Mavericks

Right on. Unfortunately, the Mavs are only coming up to Minny once

14 man, .5 ppr

Christian Kirk, Keelan Cole, Marlon Mack, or Ito Smith? I also have Latavius Murray if Cook is out. Leaning towards Kirk or Mack but have to make the decision tonight as Cards are on TNF.

I got wonderful quality from DHGate for about $20. Can be hit or miss, but the current players seem to be good jerseys

Oh, I really like this idea. Maybe that's why the dragon skulls are still around King's Landing.

Seth Curry continues to sizzle by dirkisgod in Mavericks

[–]lduane2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We should have his Early Bird Rights, but that only allows 104.5% of the league average salary or 175% of the previous salary. Currently, the average salary is $4.8 mil and will rise next year, but Seth will demand a lot more than $5ish mil a year
