Man, 2025 is worse than 2020 for Mavs fans.
They’re also second apron, already, and need to be streamlined and stripped down, which is why their owner is selling. He doesn’t have the stomach for it.

It’s good that the 2nd apron rules in place so that teams just can’t buy championships. The money partly evens out the odds between big and small market teams.
On the other hand, this only allows the small market teams to sign those second tier stars as their lead guys unless they were able to draft them in the first place. It also means that the high level role players will sign with large market teams because the money is the same everywhere and they might as well get the big city perks and the bigger sponsorship markets. Just that now the small markets can’t throw crazy money to build the team either. The odds are evened out, but not totally. Big markets will always have an advantage regardless.
Also it’s almost impossible or at least very difficult for teams to build dynasties now.
T-Wolves to pursue KD hard this offseason according to Windy.
Last 3?
That makes some sense. KD might just help gut them, get us Ant and turn our 20130 pick into gold. Gotta admit I don't understand the mindset of the superstar journeyman. But, that dude can play.
The Spurs included the 20131 MIN pick in the trade for Fox.
Oh, right! Might be time for that brain scan.
I'm trying to think of who DAL could possibly unload Kryie's last year to when he'll likely miss the entire season.
- I am not nearly down on Vassell and Keldon enough to just swap them for Kyrie to be off of them.
- Would UTA do some kind of Kyrie for Lauri swap to avoid long term money? DAL would certainly need to send picks to UTA to make this happen, as there is no way UTA is going to just salary dump Lauri after one meh season
- PHX taking Kyrie for Beal would be a gift from God if Dallas were desperate to put something around AD. Don't know if Beal would agree to that, or if Nico Harrison's brain injury is THAT bad...
- Jordan Poole?
We still have the 20130 swap with MIN though
Good point, I forgot about that. The Spurs still have a bit of a vested interest in the Wolves being bad several years from now.
i know we're well on the path to tank for the rest of the season, but our next few games are against Sacramento, Minnesota, Dallas, and Dallas, each of which are currently in or fighting for the play-in bracket.
with dallas and phoenix falling apart...
I'll be a couple years older, actually several, so hopefully we will make some moves before then. If not, I'll be patient.
Keith Smith has a really good article on Spotrac about just how royally ed PHI is: https://www.spotrac.com/news/_/id/26...embiid-dilemma
"Going that route opens up a couple of questions: Can Philadelphia trade Embiid? And who would trade for an injury-prone max contract center in today’s apron-fearing, perimeter-based NBA?"
Nico Harrison on line 2...
I can just imagine a blockbuster centered around Embiid + PG for Kyrie + AD. Mavs up their future even more in the pursuit of saving face for the massive unforced error.
Embiid has always been fool's gold.
Came into the NBA injured. Spends his entire career injured. Will retire injured on a max contract.
Yes, he got his one pity MVP award but otherwise...he is Kawhi without the playoff success or rings. I'd be amazed if any team was stupid enough to take on that contract...but then again, the Suns thought bringing in Bradley Beal and his no-trade-clause was a good idea so who knows
2027 pole shift extinction level event, the sentinels are coming brah
cutewizard'd
Hart has no offensive awareness tbh.
we're really gonna have to watch this Lakers team win the le, aren't we?
LeBroncic, imo
So ready for the Lebron era in the NBA to be over. Doesn’t sit right with me that this guy will just gladly dump teammates/teams past their usefulness every single time. Can’t imagine Timmy just telling the Spurs to trade Parker and Manu because they aren’t helping them win or are in their prime anymore.
Oh, right. So that is what CuteWizard was referring to. Well, hopefully that ain't true. I thought maybe the NBA is going to go bust by then or something.
how are the Lakers winning games with that abomination of a roster?
Yes please...
