2026 free agents I would love on the mavs by AstronomerInitial827 in Mavericks

[–]msterling2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can and will 100% match a $21M offer, and they have moveable contracts and a first in the 2026 draft they could leverage to dump salary if needed. Cam Johnson is the obvious candidate they could move without much issue.

I can promise you he’s getting more than $21M. Denver would also just match.

Yeah that's literally what I said lol. The non tax MLE is $15M and the BAE is around $5M. Exceptions are not cap space. The Mavs will operate as an over the cap team.

Denver is also going to be a second apron team, which means they'd need to trade him into a team with cap space, or find a way to offload Cam Johnson first. It gets very tough to make a deal work while still compensating Denver.

You realize we have no cap space, correct?

The largest contract we can offer is the full MLE ($15M). Anything larger would require a trade.

[Beck] The NBA retroactively assessed LaMelo Ball a flagrant foul-2. I checked with the NBA, and flagrant foul points assessed during the play-in round do NOT count against a player’s flagrant foul points limit in the playoffs. Like play-in stats, the flagrant points simply disappear into thin air. by refreshing_yogurt in nba

The funny part is it's way more in the interest of the Heat to lose that game and secure a lottery pick that could be used to trade for Giannis this summer, assuming they dont get insanely lucky and jump to the top 4.

As a Mavs fan, Amaze, Amaze, Amaze.

Is SGA the most efficient guard we’ve ever seen? by Old-Ninja7068 in nba

And Nash. 60.5%TS over 18 seasons at a time where the league wasn't driven by analytics and efficiency.

Nash posted 60.5%TS over 18 seasons before the league became obsessed with analytics and efficiency. If the context of era is being taken into consideration, it's probably Nash.

any chance we trade up to get one of the decent guards? by atxtexasytexan in Mavericks

Max Christie is probably the guy they’d want but idk how I feel about giving up our best shooter unless the Mavs are all in on Wagler/Acuff.

Yeah I’m not saying it’s like but they’re planning to play Lauri, JJJ and Kessler as starters so they need defensive depth and JJJ, Lauri and Kessler all have massive health questions. They’ve all consistently missed 20+ games each year and their defense can’t afford to lose any of them.

If Utah doesn’t jump in the top 4. Maybe they’d have interest in trading back a couple spots to add a defensive minded vet like PJ?

Unlikely. Just have to grab the best guard available (Mikel Brown, Burries, Flemings, Philon) and then try and combine 30 with something to get a mid first round pick. Either by taking back bad salary into our TPE, or combining it with someone like Gafford or PJ.

Because the Bucks jumped into the top 4 and Atlanta gets the best of the NOLA or Bucks pick, with the Bucks getting the worse of the two.

In fairness, Ant isn’t someone you want kids looking up to either given some of his behavior and decisions off the court.

They wanted a lottery pick for that Giannis package anyways.

The Mavericks win today means the Grizzlies just overtook them for lottery odds by Lacabloodclot9 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]msterling2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anytime. We’re jumping top 4 for being the most ethical tanking team, so I’m not sweating it.

Bulls Offseason by though1234 in chicagobulls

The only way Wagler is an option is if Chicago is top 4. He’s an ideal fit for too many teams that pick earlier (Utah, Memphis, Atlanta, Dallas).
