2023 - 2024 Dallas Mavericks Season Thread - I'm watching, just like you guys

Timmy is playing really well. We've been trying to trade him for a long time but I hope we make a trade that gives us talent in an area we need instead of just giving us financial flexibility. Several times this season he's been the only one who can score for like half a quarter.

Our schedule hasn't exactly been murderer's row, but we've certainly proven that we are capable of losing to anyone, so I'll happily take Ws where we get them.  I guess having to score 120+ to win is only a problem if you aren't able to do it.

If Luka and Kyrie beast mode and THJ stays solid 80% of the time vs. 50% then we'll be top 4 or 5.  The chances of that consistently happening all year is probably less than 10% but a man can dream.

“Luka doesn’t play defense.”
- Kenyon Martin’s dumb ass
His 1v1 defense is fine. He gets low marks for team defense when he falls asleep and misses assignments.

I saw one guy on Twitter saying DL has completely changed the direction of the franchise.  I'm not sure he's correct yet, but I'm also not sure he's wrong either.

DJJ playing really well too.

I think Tim is just on a good run.  We've seen this before.  We know he'll have a slump at some point but he should still get better looks than in the past so hopefully it doesn't last as long.

When he's on the floor with Luka, Kyrie, Grant and DL, he's playing with really good passers and connectors. Best he's ever played with. Even when DJJ is on the floor he makes quick decisions and moves the ball.

They just leave him open

 

i think both of those are true. whatever the reason his numbers are interesting too look at.  while his 3p% has gone up from 38.5% to 40.2% on 1.6 more attempts per game what catches my eye is his 2 point % has gone up a lot.  43.1% last year to 51.7% this year on .6 more attempts.  he's never been more efficient in his career (57.4%).

He gets $3,5 billion and still runs and controls the team? Lulz.

He’s not getting $3.5B. That’s where the sale puts the valuation of the club. He’s retaining a minority stake.

I’m done.  Family had season tickets for 30 years, starting with the first year.  I was one of the kids who mopped up the sweat with a broom for a year.  Might as well have sold the team to the Saudis, they probably would have paid more.

The Mecca Mavericks has a nice ring to it…

While I know that Cuban says that he’s maintaining control, I doubt that the adelsons are agreeing to never have control. There must be a time set where  Cuban walks away.

I think this is a power play by Cuban and the Adelsons to use the Mavs as a threat to the Texas legislature to get a real casinos in TX vote oh the books sooner rather than later.  Threatening to move the Mavs to Vegas (they won’t).  Then when Vegas gets an expansion team, the Adelsons will be the owners of that franchise and will sell their rights to the Mavs back to Cuban (with Dirk as minority investor).

This is to move the team to Vegas.
