[JamStone]

The last couple previous seasons, D’Antoni did something I thought was pretty smart defensively with Harden... yes, I realize what I just wrote. But he’d have Harden switch a lot where at times he’d end up defending a big in the post, especially when Houston went really small. Smart because of a few things. Harden is strong enough to hold his ground against a lot of bigger guys in the league. Most big men in today’s league are incapable of scoring in the post with footwork and moves if they can’t just bully ball to the rim. And it kept Harden off of quicker guards and wings out on the perimeter, who could blow right by him and not only get easy lay-ups or dunks, but put Harden’s help defending teammates in foul trouble. And because Harden had to play off on the perimeter, that gave his man open threes whenever he wanted.

It’s something Jim Carey might want to consider. Don’t put Doncic on the worst perimeter player. Put him in a one man zone where he ends up defending the block against a big. He should be fine against most bigs there. He’s 6’8, 230+. Except against guys like Anthony Davis and Jokic, he should be able to hold his own on the block. At worst, stand his ground, hands straight up, and giving up an easy two is still better than and-one dunks and/or uncontested threes.

[Jules_Winnfield]

I think Luka is the least of all Mavs problems. In a game against Phoenix his outside shot was way off and he missed a couple of bunnies, but if he was only average with his shot (2/6 on threes) he would end up with like 40 points and a win. He was decent against the Lakers offensively. Needs to get in the bubble shape tho and do a better job on defense.

The problem is that Mavs supporting cast minus Porzinglass is beyond awful and stubborn Rick insists on playing small /soft lineups. They could snag that Achiuwa guy in the draft, he's what the Mavs need right now. THJ, DFS and Powell frontcourt won't gonna cut it against Bran, Davis and Harrell. Aswell as the obsession with small guards like Brunson, Burke, Barea, Yogi, Seth Curry, Tyrell Terry...

Powell, THJ and Brunson should be the next package leaving Dallas.

[Neo.]

Powell and Brunson should definitely be dealt ASAP while stock is still high in them.

THJ I think should be kept though, hes a nice 3rd/4th option scorer, and when hes hot he can singlehandedly win games. thankfully rick also realized that he needs to be played alongside luka as much as possible to maximize his effectiveness, because luka dominates the ball and generally wont pass it to him unless its on cuts and spot up shots, preventing him from getting too out of control, which was his problem before being moved to the starting lineup.

[Jules_Winnfield]

THJ's stock is pretty high after last season imo, he sholud be re-signed only if there are no other options on the market. He's cool and still in his prime but not a two way player unfortunately.

Doncic, Porzingis, Richardson, Finney-Smith

Others should be available at the trade deadline and key 2021 offseason before Doncic's extension. However, even if the Mavs play their cards perfect, there would still be two major obstacles in their way to a potential championship, KP's health and Doncic's questionable work ethic.

Harden has put up crazy numbers while winning a lot of games. But Harden's fatness is also a representation of the fact that, despite his greatness, he doesn't have a dog mentality. Very hard to reach the mountaintop with a guy like that.

its weird to see how out of shape he is and only got worse at shooting threes. Everything else is still the same and now he also got that Dirk fadeaway and a good midrange shot.... Oh and so far he's one of the best defenders in the league, which is a big surprise.

I don’t like the Luka’s body language either, but there’s only so many times you can handle manipulating the defense perfectly to leave a shooter wide open, then delivering pinpoint no-look passes to that corner, only for them to clank it off the rim 80% of the time. Of course he’s frustrated, his team completely sucks and the supposed #2 guy getting pad max money is the softest player I’ve ever seen.

And he sees how Cuban wasted the majority of Dirk’s career surrounding him with garbage, so if Luka’s smart he’ll get out of Dallas asap. I’d hate to see it, but wouldn’t blame Luka one bit.

[Texas_Ranger]

If Cuban doesnt get him some players that can actually play basketball he will walk. He gives 0 fucks about Dallas and would be rather playing in Spain right now, than for the retards that gave Zingis Pingis a max and think Tim Hardaway is great. All the team needed was one or two shooters and a solid big, but this morons traded the only shooter they got and brought Josh fucking Richardson. So, yea he's pissed, only a loser wouldnt be. The guy has been winning trophies since he was 12, so good luck keeping him happy with the retards he has to play with. Oh and he should cry to the refs even more, as they are blind when it comes to him.

Oh and he should stop eating shitty food and stop taking stupid 3s. There's a lot i dont like about his play this year as well.

Yeah, Cuban should stop treating the Mavs like his Shark Tank show and get back to running it like his toy that he does not mind losing some money over. Ever since the lone title, he became concerned about luxury tax and losing money. And they have been sh1t as a result.

If he wants to stay on the conservative side, then he should just swap Porzingis for a 1st rounder and good complimentary players before glass man breaks again, which we know is only weeks away based on his history. This guy is so overrated. Worst pick-n-roll defense in the NBA and a waste of a 7-3 frame. I'd honestly rather go to war with Donutcic and a bunch of set shooters than Zingus, tbqh.

Luka is on the third year of his rookie contract so he's stuck in Dallas for at least 4-5 more years depending on the extension he signs. He's a restricted FA so I can't see him leaving until his extension contract is up. No way will Cuban bend over to trade him even if he does want out.

I'm also a fan. I wouldn't say stop shooting 3s, but he should limit the step backs. He doesn't hit them at a rate of a Steph or even Harden and at times its a bad shot for them too. Ge should limit his 3s to open set 3s where his % is better. He still has a great mid range game especially just inside the FT line, floaters, can beat elite defenders off the dribble despite his lack of elite athleticism and can even post up smaller or sane size defenders. His vision is not quite lebron but is close especially in the half court.
Just needs to stop bitching about fouls, improve his shot selection and overall fit ness level which will help him close games better and maintain his level of play in 2nd of a back to back like last night's game. Dude also needs legit help relying on Porzy for big minutes ain't it.

Just prior he Curry backstepped and burned slow tall Whitey on the Celts.

Back to back trey bombs for the win. :clap

Not sure why anyone is still doubting Luka. His numbers aren't empty; out of playoff contenders he has the least reliable #2 unless you discount Klay and CJ due to injuries. Cubes needs to find him a healthy, legit #2 and mavs will be a problem. Already got a playoff game winner, roty award and ASG starter in year 3. Not much more legit resume you can hope for by year 3 unless you talking Bron Moses Kareem Magic Wade or Timmy he in rare company for a third year player

Luka needs a miracle trade that will send Zingis Pingis far away. If I was Dallas i wouldn't even look for a #2, cause there's no way anyone is giving a good player for that shit, but just give him 2 shooters and a big that can finish near the basket and they will be good. Not championship ready, but still much better than now.

Agreed. But I understand why they want a #2 so badly. When mavs were really good last season Powell, Kleber, Steph lil brother gave them most of that. So i don't think the role players are that hard to find especially when Luka makes them look so much better.And though I agree I don't value Porzingis very much ...Remember I was one of the first on here that casted doubts about his long-term health when everyone was sucking him off his rookie year and calling him the unicorn. I knew injuries would be an issue because almost no player that tall playing big minutes avoids injury. If he had a Boban role (who is also built like a tank) maybe he would be fine. But hoping he will stay healthy is like hoping you will win the Power Ball it's fool's errand.
So trading him even for anything of value at least frees up cap space. Not sure even with Luka they will attract a big name FA cuz Mavs never do ...but at least you can eventually trade for a better player with space.

Not just specifically for Luka but for NBA shooters in general, the rule on jumping into defenders on a shot attempt to draw a foul and its interpretation as a foul on the defender should change. If the shooter has to jump forward any significant distance (sure, it’s subjective but at least allow for a referee to judge the action) into a defender trying to contest, that should either be an offensive foul or viewed as something like a flop and an automatic turnover.

In this example, Luka’s jump forward is pretty obvious and egregious. And he’s far from the only one in the league who does it. I think it’s just as bad as a shooter with an unnatural leg kick and worse than a swim thru motion to draw a foul, which the league has at least addressed by making it an out of bounds foul, not a shooting foul.

:tu Surround Luka with 3 legitimate shooters (not guys like Dorian Finney-Bricks) and an athletic rim runner. That’s all he needs. Porzingis just kills the flow of the offense.

If they had kept Seth and drafted Desmond Bane instead of Josh Green, they’re probably a top 5 team in the West right now.

Agreed
Mavs also need to strengthen their defense

Doubting him in what sense? I don't think anyone would argue that he isnt an all-star level player.

But is he a GOAT type player like LeGOAT or just a perennial Top 5/Top 10 player like Harden? Harden has been putting up crazy numbers for a while. Hes won a lot of games too. He's had a great career but career wise he's not in the same class as LeGOAT. Luka's trajectory is more Harden than LeGOAT, imho.

I thought that’s the actual rule itself where the initiator if the contact is the one who should be assessed a foul. But in today’s nba, the players are so skillful that they can actually do that without being the initiator and that players from yesterday’s nba are just too stupid.

:lmao the goalposts have been moved to “Well he’ll be a Hall Of Fame level player but not the greatest ever!”

I don't know why but Before all the flopping and choking, people forget Harden was the primary reason OKC back door swept the Spurs in the playoffs with smart playmaking and legit offensive scoring and not the BS foul manipulation...so being Harden who then became one of the most prolific if often cheesy scorers in NBA history is no insult.
Luka is most like Harden in many ways but he has something extraordinary to him that you can just see if you been watching hoops. The best analogy I can think of is football. Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith were not stop watch fast. In a league of great athletes their names would not be at the top of the list. But both had the ability to beat superior athletes often times vastly superior opponents to the spots they wanted...like messi does too. Luka may never be a GOAT level player like Bron ...but if you can't see how special he is not sure what to tell you all .
.if he stays healthy I think he will surpass Dirk as a franchise best player ...and Dirk is no slouch. Passing Bron is an almost impossible task. Its like asking Anthony Davis to surpass Duncan.

[Killakobe81]

BTW fully admit I am biased he is my current, favorite non Laker in the league right now. But I do legitimately think he is special because I love his passing instincts...
