He shot 40% from 3 last year. It might be fake. But him and Luka in PNR would be deadlier than any other guard to guard screen because he’s a threat to roll and he can make plays. If you don’t trust him to shoot a high clip again, I get that.
But he’s is slasher, cutter athlete. Very GPII like and you saw what he meant to GSW

Nah man, its Mithcell. Guy couldnt (or as we may come to learn didn't want to) make simple passes to a roll big. And then was a traffic cone on the other end. The whole Rudy Gobert narrative about to be rewritten

From what I've gathered listening to the various Mavs pods on the many weird cap rules with them being a tax team - if they wanted to offer Hardy a multi-year deal and not a two-way, some of that money had to come out of the TPMLE earmark.
They couldn't have given Bruce Brown what he got from Denver to begin with.

Yeah, I don't get all that deep cap stuff lol. But if they couldn't have offered any of those guys then whatever
I'm just saying in theory it is silly to use your only bullet on a pure center who probably can't play past the 2nd round maybe even 1st round
Any other wing or even guard I'm taking a chance on instead. If that was never possible to begin with then so be it

I'm definitely not buying the shooting spike at this point. Ultra-low volume.
Regardless, the Mavs couldn't have gotten to the money Denver did on a starting salary so it's a non-starter.

I absolutely would not have signed McGee for that amount of money because he gets played off the floor come the playoffs. I think they could have signed someone for cheap to eat minutes during the regular season. But Javale is familiar with Kidd, Duds and St.Jean.

Wait until he sees D’Angelo Russell play defense. Or wait until he sees ant man go dribble right stick combo into a step back 3.

If it's the full MLE, they did not.

Good work by the Mavs unlike the Lakers.
They did it with THT, Reaves and now Christie. Had to pay THT early, will have to do the same with Reaves next summer. By the time Christie's body is close to ready for NBA level comp, he'll be a free agent because the team wanted to sign Lonnie Walker for the full amount of the TMLE.

The original report for McGee was 3 years 20.1 mill Martin got 20.5 apparently
Either way, it hurts seeing all these wings get almost the exact same contract as McGee
I'm not even speaking on if there was a chance for Dallas to get these guys, I'm simply saying it hurts

Is Eric Bledsoe’s NBA career over? I don’t see any team that needs his services. Feels like just yesterday he was thriving as CP3’s backup

I think the McGee thing was a couple of things...
They needed a true center. Likely glaringly obviously needed something. Not having the full MLE at their disposal cut them out of the market almost entirely for any viable perimeter guy.
This regime has been relatively vocal about rebuilding the roster with "Kidd guys" ... and McGee is obviously that. Fits the 'profile'.
Part of me also thinks they probably paid a bit of a premium to have a vet in the room who's won games that matter and been on title teams. Needed a culture setter kinda guy that's been there. Their most experienced playoff guy last year might've been Davis Bertans.
Would assume McGee is eligible for larger annual increases based on longevity so it balances out over time.The original report for McGee was 3 years 20.1 mill Martin got 20.5 apparently

Look - I'm not saying I don't get the desire for a wing addition. I just don't think FA was where that was going to happen given some of the limits they were working under.

Rudy gonna be chicken cordon bleu come playoff time just like every other year.
Similar to the Jimmy Butler trade from years back, this feels like Minnesota jumping the gun a few years too early. Ant is my guy but I don't think he's ready to be THE GUY on a championship contender yet. And he's going to have to be because we already know what it is with KAT, DLo, and Goober.
