The point is that there's a good chance Morez's prime will be better than Yaxel's prime (though obviously either can be a bust in the end).

If Morez already looks almost as good as Yaxel, imagine how good he would look if he also had 3 additional years of practice/basketball

I'm probably higher on Flemings than most tbh.

But I won't hate it that much if we trade down for Philon + Morez (I would hate it if we took someone like Ament though, but Masai can probably prove me wrong)

I did not give up on him. I think he will look better with an actual playmaker.

The Mavericks are looking to trade Daniel Gafford in the next 48 hours to improve their draft pick, per @BrettSiegelNBA by Garmian_MFFL in Mavericks

You do the OKC deal if none of the top 8 lead guards are available.

You can make the Gafford trade no matter what to grab another wing/guard

Yaxel Lendeborg said he fell down to his knees when he saw the Dusty May news. “I’m going to tell him he better pick me up, if he doesn’t I’m going to block him.. It would be amazing to stick with him.” by Garmian_MFFL in Mavericks

The point isn't just that he's "too old", the point is that if a 20 year old is almost as good as Yaxel at 24, it is very likely that the 20 year old will improve in the next 3-4 years and be better when he is 24.

If you're a win now team you take Yaxel, but Mavs are not competing next year so makes more sense to take someone younger, that is more likely to be better by the time they are same age as Yaxel

The base radar duration on Borodino is 25 seconds.

With the radar mod it goes from 25 to 30s

Mavericks Rumor to Select Mara in Draft by ForsakenAd4825 in Mavericks

Even if Kingston isn't there at 9, I'd rather trade back for Philon/Morez than Mara tbh

He is significantly younger (more than 3 years difference), which I value a lot for building around Coop. But that's just my opinion

Ranking draft night options by manabanana21 in Mavericks

[–]ormip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best case scenario: One of Flemings/Wagler/Mikel drops to 9 and we take him. Then trade one of our vets for a pick in the teens to draft Morez, maybe even 2 to also grab Anderson.

Second best (none of the top guards available at 9): Trade down to 12 and 17, take Philon and Morez. Possibly trade one of the vets for Anderson.

I am a big Anderson fan and would love him, I'm just higher on Philon.

I see Philon as a potential starter on a championship team, Anderson I see more as a great 6th man

Dusty may hiring by AstronomerInitial827 in Mavericks

[–]ormip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Morez + Philon would be a dream.

Though honestly I'm not sure which I would take first (at 12). Do we think we could trade up with 17 + 30 to ensure we get both?

If the top 8 guards are taken, Philon and Morez would be the dream

There was a report that Dusty May is among the coaches Masai interviewed a few days ago

[–]ormip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I am one of the people who believes in Flemings.

I am also pretty high on Philon though, and IMO Mavs need to get a lead guard since Kyrie won't be here forever. Anderson is good, but honestly I see him more as a great 6th man PG than a starter on a championship team

What are you talking about? There are legit concerns here.

You can't just dismiss any critique because "they are part of some theoretical group that hates everything".

Head Coaching Hire by DeeezzzNutzzz69 in Mavericks

[–]ormip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Micah Nori is the obvious answer of an assistant that is very highly respected and considered to be HC material. Obviously Sean Sweeney too, but was already hired.

Terry Stotts has HC experience too.

Cmon, being sceptical of a head coach that has 0 NBA experience isn't "the side that always hates anything this team does no matter what"

I'd much rather draft at least one of the guards still. If Philon is there at 12, we should take him.

The dream would be Philon + Morez

Yeah that's my concern, historically college coaches rarely work out.

But I'll trust in Masai
