The osh kosh bosh approved outfit for NBA coaches that want to support the 49ers...

Welp, time to get irrationally high expectations based off acquiring just 2 role players

I swear I almost tagged you when Maxi randomly scored 20 points the other week. Was gonna say I don't remember the last time he's scored anywhere near that

Now he's suddenly having a decent shooting month so far. I had all but counted him out as being a rotation guy. He fits way better with guys like Lively and Gafford

Lively, Exum and Jones are all having better than expected seasons imo, so that's pretty good if they're your 8th, 9th and 10th best players

But yeah, it's definitely nasty that they don't have any Firsts for all those consecutive years. Weirdo process

I ain’t mad at it. Cuban tryna push all the chips in before he goes and does whatever else is next.

Maxi’s healthy (for now) and he’s about to never have to play big center ever again. Feels like the first time 5+ years there’s a role that’s absolutely ideal for him.

I get folks being apprehensive about the picks, but they’d kind of backed themselves into a corner with assets.. I’m not gonna be upset about trading picks for young guys not yet in their primes on controllable, affordable contracts.

They’re still going to have two 1st rounders and 4+ seconds this summer to trade with a ton of guys younger than 25 on great contracts and Tim’s expiring money. Plus whatever they decide to do with Kyrie if the Lakers decide they wanna be goofy.

They still got some options moving forward and they’re better with a chance to be damned competitive today.

What is the QR code on the Pacers jerseys?

 

[N41D]

Of course the Mavs are on the no excuses list.

They don’t have anything left to sell to get better.

This is it. This is who they’re riding with. They’re all in.

This narrative is so stupid, man.

It’s brain dead.

 

[elpablo21]

This thread has like half of the NBA on the #NoExcuses list

Still not enough teams on it tbh

 

[Coupé It]

This narrative is so stupid, man.

It’s brain dead.

How is this a narrative? You guys aren’t in any control of your picks for the next 5 years.

This is your team. It’s the best it will get. It’s just the truth.

Once the Mavs give this year's pick to the Knicks and the league year starts on July 1, they'll gain control of 2025 and 2031.

 

[earldagoat]

Jalen Green always seems to respond when counted out

 

[picasso swerve]

Watchin the Spurs play and they legit do not pass Wemby the ball.

Why he doesn’t touch the ball everytime down the court is bewildering

All damn year. Theres games where he isnt top 3 in fg attempted.

 

[datznasty]

Former Thunders all 3 feasting against Memphis too. You love to see it

 

[Coupé It]

Once the Mavs give this year's pick to the Knicks and the league year starts on July 1, they'll gain control of 2025 and 2031.

Okay, so 2 picks for the next 7 years.

They’re still all in.

 

[MVP]

This is for you aepps20

 

[N41D]

Two 1sts this summer, 4+ 2nds, 7 or 8 guys under 25 with legitimate NBA roles.

If they decide this year they don’t love Kyrie with Luka, they’ll get a pick or two and more rotation guys back in return from somewhere.

Acting like they’re dead stuck with this roster is patently stupid.

 

[pmatic]

Obi Toppin.

 

[Coupé It]

Obi

 

[B Sox]

Mavs definitely aren’t stuck with what they have.

But they ARE on the #noexcuses list, and there’s nothing wrong with that

 

[Coupé It]

FOH OBI

 

[don ramon]

obi he really went for it

 

[aepps20]

This is for you aepps20

Haven’t been more proud of you than I am right now. I would watch that NBA

 

[N41D]

This is the best roster they’ve had since the title team.

It’s better than the WCF roster.

Time to go work.

 

[Coupé It]

Surprised Carlisle didn’t pull him out.

 

[HIM]

We gotta stop conflating going all-in with being on the no excuses list. The Mavs are both, tho.

 

[703 hwy]

Cavs could mess around and end up in the ECF

 

[B Sox]

I’m here for Hali being like a Reggie 2.0 with the Knicks and their fans. He’s def chirping a lot
