High hopes for Ja's first signature shoe. Being such a fan of the Kobe line, I hope that shines through in his line.

It makes sense fit wiseThey offered #7 for him leading up to the draft, but the Raptors declined.
I'm sure if they blow it up Masai is gonna come out with something crazy but on that note idk if someone is really gonna offer a Murray/Gobert/Mitchell package for OGGrant + whatever not named Sharpe/Simons?
Hopefully it doesn't sour Luka too much but that's exactly what needs to happen. They're too far gone to make any impactful improvementsI just think their best course of action is to drag this thing down into Top 10 this year - take a young guy with upside, then convey the pick next year and have effectively the next 12 months from there to figure out the next "big" move.
This draft aligns really well with what they realistically need - then next offseason Tim and Bertans are another year closer to real flexibility with a year left for each of them.
Way more mobility at that point with contracts, the cap, all your picks. The "downfall" of the Mavs is really probably the best thing for them right now.

Its at least a tank of gas on most cars based on current OKC pricing which is like $2.50 or 1 to 2 more Christmas presents. I could use it right now, electric bill was almost $200 this month and i dotnt even be over here like that$50 nowadays is like $5 but it’s the thought that counts. Good guy Goober
He might be the best perimeter defender in the league and he’s 25.Anyone who gives up a package anywhere near Donovan for a non all star in OG has lost their mind.
Foreseeable, maybe.I agree, this is just the 1st season in the Luka era where the team didn’t get better year over year and it was foreseeable and preventable with the resources they had
I really think Brunson would have signed the 50 million extension he was eligible for but was never offeredForeseeable, maybe.
I don't know that the Brunson thing was wholly preventable. Just not entirely convinced it mattered how much money they put on the table - and still don't fault them for not getting married sooner.
The Donnie rookie contract blunder is the part that screwed them.

Wouldn’t be mad if Wemby ended up in DC.
They deserve something nice.
You see how attached Bev gets to teams and cities and how dialed in he isCrazy,he’s better than Pat Bev,yet he’s in China.SMH

I don't believe any of the PR nonsense his dad started spouting mid-year.This makes it look so f'n bad. I don't even get upset anymore but I don't give Dallas front office any passes for ****
They fumbled Jalen multiple times and could have had him on a great deal
Dallas could have signed Brunson to a four-year extension for as much as $55.5 million before the season, but the Mavs didn't offer it then nor did they engage in negotiations with Brunson's representatives. He was coming off a disappointing first playoff series of his career, as former Mavs coach Rick Carlisle drastically cut Brunson's minutes in the final few games of the seven-game exit against the LA Clippers.
"It sat with me all summer," Brunson said at the start of training camp.
Nor were the Mavs willing to make that commitment midseason, when Brunson had transitioned from sixth man to starter and was thriving. An extension would have handcuffed the Mavs from including Brunson if a trade for a star materialized. Dallas offered the extension immediately after the Feb. 10 trade deadline, when Mavs forward Dorian Finney-Smith signed an identical deal.
"I told him once the season is started, that's it," Rick Brunson says. "I told the Mavericks, 'Once the season is started, there's no contract talk,' and I went back against my word. In January, I thought he did enough where he deserved [the extension]. I said, 'Hey, take the money, man.' He wants security. He wants to live here. And they declined.
"He didn't turn s--- down. Y'all declined first. When y'all came back to him, we said, 'Hey, we just want to finish out the season and go from there.'"
After how much was made about him playing terribly against LAC, he wouldn't take a 55 million deal?I don't believe any of the PR nonsense his dad started spouting mid-year.
I don't blame you for not giving the Mavs a pass, but I also don't really buy that he'd have signed that deal.
