He’s actually pretty tough.  We have the only guy in the league who could take him in a fight, and he’s on COVID vacation tonight.

I'd put money on Dame even with the reach difference

Didn't watch this one, what happened?

They played fine, I suppose. Hit a lot of shots (as did Portland). Just frustrating when Dallas is up 4 with 5 mins to play and in my mind I'm thinking... "okay, we're toast"

Luka is fucking incredible tonight.

Brought his flamethrower. I've been keeping a pretty close eye on 3P% all year... tonight (assuming/hoping he's about done) pretty much offsets the damage December did to that number

Really nice to see them bounce back against good teams like this. I think a split in Portland is a pretty dang good result. Next 4 are against teams not currently in the playoffs. 3-1 has to be the minimum there.

Meh. Still think we should fire Rick and hire Craig Miller as the new head coach and Vic as GM.

I definitely would not have wasted Dirk's last years. Sign me up.

Does the team make a trade by the deadline? I have read several rumors but also some stuff saying nothing will happen.

My thoughts on a few players:

Drummond - Cleveland wants a 2nd round pick if they dont take back long term salary and a 1st if they do. I don't see this happening as a trade and not sure we are going to beat out other teams if he is bought out.

Oladipo - can be had for cheap. Filler salary and some 2nd round picks most likely. This is my top target that I think is attainable.

Collins - saw a Maxi for Collins rumor. Not sure what else Atl would want. I think it would be a great fit but Mavs dont have enough trade assets.

Fournier - Another potential low cost guy on an expiring deal. He has the 3 but not much D.

For me, I want a scorer. Coming in to the season more emphasis was put on defense but the results are meh. KP has been too up and down on offense. THJ is hit or miss. That's why I think Oladipo makes sense.

Can't they just sign Oladipo this summer? Not sure it's worth it to give up all the other assets if that's the case. If they are going to make a trade, I would absolutely do the deal for Collins even if Maxi is involved. He's younger than all the other guys on the list and would be a legit scorer.

For Oladipo, it isnt giving up much. James Johnson, probably Wes, and some 2nd round picks. Advantage over doing it now is Mavs would get his Bird rights.

We get one swing at adding another max-type guy. Luka gets extended this summer and that’s it, no more cap room for the foreseeable future.  I don’t think Oladipo is the guy.

Oladipo is looking to get paid a max deal. Pre injury he was a borderline max player. Post injury not close. Some team will cough it up and he can be the new John wall but please don't let the Mavs be that team.

Agreed, and if you give up anything of substance it’s implied that you are going to try to resign him.  If it’s a future #2 or something like that sure, why not if you think it marginally improves the team this year, but he won’t be that cheap.
