Mavs News & Rumors: Grant Williams DONE In Dallas? Desmond Bane TORCHES Mavs + Richaun Holmes Trade?
I gotta tell you Coupe every time the Mavericks play the Grizzlies a little part of me dies because they could have had Desmond Bane he was there twice and he haunts you again we told you yesterday you needed to beat the Grizzlies without jaw instead you split with them two and
Two welcome to Mavericks today Harrison Graham Jeffrey cooperstein once again Coupe de Bane popping off against the Mavericks the 31st pick in the 2020 draft the Mavericks had two selections and did not take Bane with either of them disgusting Bane with 29 Points last night despite being just two of nine
From three he haunts the Mavs every single time they played him and after the game he was kind of asked about the Mavericks because it’s pretty well known that he thought he was going to be a MAV and the Mavs had interest in him and here’s what he said they were supposed
To take me the PA guy came up and apologized that’s exactly what I want them to be thinking about so my guy Sean Heath went up to Desmond Bane and apologized for the Mavericks not taking him it’s a joke I I mean look I’m biased
I went to TCU I get it if you don’t want I I said at the time they should draft oh okay whatever dude he was 30 minutes down the road like you had a close you got go he had a close look at this guy
If you wanted it for four years he was the best shooter in that class and no let’s let’s let poker Bob convince you to draft Josh Green he’s a defensive stop he’ll develop a three I like Josh Green I’m not trying to say Josh Green sucks he doesn’t but if you drafted
Desmond ban you really wonder where you would be right now you you probably would have look and I get I like Kyrie I’m glad he’s here but you probably wouldn’t have even had to make that move you’d still have Dory Andy Smith like the the trajectory of the franchise
Could have significantly changed with uh drafting Desmond Bane and who knows what could have happened it the it’s Josh Green that just makes me even more salty about this thing here are their career stats to just rub salt in the wound and we’ll take a look at Desmond Ban’s stats
For this he’s 25 Point score now so like this doesn’t even indicate how brutal it is if we’re being completely honest yeah it it’s just been bad all around Desmond Bane’s also good on the defensive end and it’s just it’s not something the Mavs are going to recover from anytime
Soon teams freaked out because Bane had inverse arms compared to height so he’s 66 but his arm length was 65 so like he’s not going to be able to play defense in the NBA his arms aren’t long enough which I get it measurables matter but it’s like dude this guy was a 45%
Three-point shooter his last two years in college that is TR hell this is a career worst year for him from three and it’s still 38% I bet by the end of the year he’s over 40 the reason it’s down is because he’s had to carry the load
Without John Mor for most of the season and oh by the way he’s done that pretty well 25 Point score career high and assist it’s just disgusting when you think about it like he I don’t know if he’s a number two on a title team but
He’s damn sure a number three and he was in your lap and you chose Josh green I mean it’s absolutely brutal when you think about it yeah it’s it’s just bad and that draft was an absolute disaster at the end of the day that’s more or less I think what got Donnie Donnie
Nelson fired in that regime obviously there were a lot of things off the court and whatnot but this was a disaster I mean look at this Josh Green he’s playing for the Mavs yeah Tyrell Terry retired from basketball he is not playing basketball anymore Tyler Bay do you want to guess what
Yeah let me guess here uman it’s near and dear to our hearts oh Slovenia the Philippines the Phil oh even better he is playing in the Philippines right now and there are some decent players by the way that were drafted after Tyler Bay Nick Richards who we’ve talked about on
Mavericks today a couple of times was taken in that you imagine a Desmond Bane Nick Richards this has been an absolute disaster is basically what I’m trying to say and when you take a look at the guys who were taken after Josh Green it just makes you bow your head an absolute
Shame I mean had three top 36 picks and you got one decent player that’s bad man like sadique Bay who hasn’t been unreal but he’s better than Josh Green Tyrese Maxi is in the Desmond Bank category where these are two young stars in this league and Emanuel kle is a damn good
Player he just got traded to Toronto he’s about to get paid I mean he’s a great sixth man you know he’s a good player Jaden McDaniels just got a big extension from Minnesota like come on man like that was a draft that had good depth in it and you had like eight
Players you could have taken and you took the worst one I mean it’s just it’s brutal so we wanted to ask you guys this question after talking about it in the office which non Maverick would you have wanted them to draft if you wanted Desmond Bane type one Tyrese Maxi two
Emanuel quickley type three sadique Bay type four I think it’s Desmond Bane for sure at this point one or two I don’t really care who I mean I love Maxi too Garland kid again he’s from like I know he went to Kentucky but like how are you
Missing on these guys you should have had background on this guy he played South Garland High School I believe it’s just like come on man like I I think this is what gets teams in trouble too and you see this in the NFL all the time
Like oh this guy I mean his wings span his get off on the snap like all this stuff and it’s like how about you just watch yeah like like Bane well you know what was going against Bane he was a four-year College play ah he’s too old
We can’t draft him his arms aren’t long enough I hate that n guy is going to be a 15-year Pro and he’s going to average by the end of his career for 15 years probably 20 points that narrative in the NBA that you can’t draft guys in the
First round because they’re 22 and up is just absurd to me when you find guys like Desmond Bane you find guys like Jaylen Brunson who are instant winners it’s and that’s the beauty of a three and foure starter they’re ready to go they don’t need to develop so it ends up
Being the same most of the time because like yeah sure you get the 19-year-old it takes him two years unless you’re Luca donic like it’s brutal a lot more to get to here on Mavericks today including this we’ll talk about that later but first we need to tell you

Read my mind I literally had an L3 coming up that says just at least Christian Wood can play ran Holmes can’t play at all this is an absolute joke honestly I’m scrolling Twitter after the Mavs get blown out by Memphis and what do I see oh it’s ran Holmes family going
Off on the Mavericks like ran Holmes should play Richard Holmes I’m not sure of the relation to ran but here’s a couple of tweets from him what are we doing here do we think ran Holmes is the answer to the Mavericks problems I also saw ran Holmes himself Coupe liked to
Tweet saying Jason this is why Jason kid can’t figure it out he unliked it but yes I mean this is just classic Ridiculousness from the Holmes family and then you have I want I’m gonna butcher this name Leisha I believe uh ran Holmes family not happy with this
Playing time what has ran Holmes done to earn playing time and let me just say this too if the Mavericks traded for sha Holmes after his string of really good seasons and this was happening I could understand but think about this coopa and like you guys watching the
Sacramento Kings who have sucked for 20 years benched him and became a playoff team think what are let me say it again the Sacramento Kings who are so bad that Luca donic refused to get drafted by became a great team once they got him out of their rotation and this is what
Ran Holmes is doing this year not he’s not good anymore he’s not lighting the world on fire he had a couple games where he had eight rebounds and whatnot but what are we doing here like I said I think this is another Christian situation where he’s just being loud on
Twitter get this guy out of here and send him to the freaking Moon I’m again as much of a pain in the ass Christian wood isn’t believe me in the ass he at least when he would play would go out there and score 1520 rwn Holmes is not
Giving you that production what what are we doing here it’s just like this team is so like when they play well coup like you watch the Minnesota game you’re like this team could be anybody when they play well I think you said it perfectly when they play well I think their
Ceiling is the Western Conference Finals yeah they’re a top three four team in the west when they’re playing well when they play like last night where they just go through the motions this and that they also could lose in the play yeah they’re a playing team it’s it’s
Ugly man they they got to they got to upgrade at least one of two backup center SL the four position stay tuned because if they do upgrade at the four or the center position we will have you covered trying to get to 26,000 Subs before the trade deadline it is January
10th trade deadline February 8th so help us out get us to 26,000 Subs subscribe to the channel today yeah help us out we appreciate it here on Mavericks today and it just sucks last night because we told you all yesterday like the schedule you’re you’re you’re hot you’re you’ve
Won a few games here you get the Grizzlies without jaw again and you get blown out just not great and quite frankly CP there’s a guy that is not helping much at all right now and that is Grant Williams I don’t know you guys see the thumbnail this video um I don’t
Know who came up with the meme and the best part about it is like it’s like not even a political thing it’s just an old guy down it just happens to be the president of the United States it might be J for Grant Williams I mean he has
Been bad it is so bad I mean let’s just take a look at what he did last night zero points one rebound minus 20 in seven minutes pulled a uh what’s his name Tony SN Tony Snell he grabbed one rebound congrats Grant Williams I just don’t know what’s happened here Coupe
Legit the first 3 to four weeks he was awesome then he has he has that injury and now he’s like unplayable I think there’s a combination of things I think one he wasn’t ready for the role that the Mavericks bestowed upon him which is alarming from both sides because maybe
The Mavericks were thought they were getting a better player exactly and maybe Grant Williams also thought he could do this but it seems like he can’t and at this point I feel like Jason kid has lost trust in Grant Williams at first he’s in the starting lineup then
He gets relegated to the bench now he’s hardly even in the rotation playing just seven minutes against a bad Memphis Grizzlies team and what have we been saying you need help at four he was like even when we were saying that a month ago he was the only guy who had it for
So now you’re like asking and and look um DK Jones has been awesome but like you’ve all I feel like you already are getting the cherry on top out of DK so now you’re like asking for even more out of this guy and it’s just like it’s unreasonable expectations and then this
Is brutal oh I love this tweet actually shout out to my guys MAV room they do great work on Twitter go give them a follow it’s it’s D Wright and Josh Richardson all over again I mean it’s what it seems like the fit just isn’t working the Mavs gave up assets to go
Get these guys it it just seems like it’s brutal I can’t see Grant Williams on this team next season I don’t maybe even if they make a trade before the deadline at this point I mean I’m still holding out like a 1% chance of Hope because like we’ve seen it this year he
Was playing good at one point but I don’t know I joked to you in the office I was like do they need to like cook up a fake injury and just like let for a month and just like recuit mentally cuz I feel like a lot of this
Has to be mentally yeah I think a lot of it’s in between the ears as well I mean even he knows what the narrative is at this point when he’s wide open from three he’s also just like passing up on shots and he’s being very hesitant yeah
I don’t know what’s going on with Grant Williams and the Mavericks but both sides need to come together and figure it out because the Mavs need a good Grant Williams in order to do what they think they can do in the playoffs this at least how the roster currently is
Like if if they don’t make a big move and he they need him to play and he plays like this they’re they’re not going to go very far oh yeah grant grant Williams season so far I mean it’s it’s it’s it’s been bad man it’s a shame
Because I thought he was playing really well the first few weeks of the season but since he suffered whatever that injury was he is uh he has not been the same ABCD or F in the comments we’ll be back soon here on Mavericks Today o
The Mavericks rumors mill is popping off and on today’s show we break down the latest happenings surrounding Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Jason Kidd and the Dallas Mavericks.
– After playing just 7 minutes in Mavericks vs. Grizzlies, Grant Williams rumors are circulating that Mavs head coach Jason Kidd no longer trusts Williams to be a part of his rotation. Williams has struggled mightily since signing with the Mavs in 2023 NBA Free Agency, and finds himself on the outside looking in.
– Desmond Bane, who former Mavericks GM Donnie Nelson passed on twice in the 2020 NBA Draft, has become one of the best young players in the NBA, averaging almost 25 points per game in the 2023-24 NBA Season. Josh Green, who the Mavs took ahead of Bane, has failed to become a compliment to Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving in his 4th NBA season.
– Richaun Holmes rumors surfaced after last night’s Mavs vs. Grizzlies game, where members of his family were tweeting about Holmes’ lack of playing time and how Mavs head coach Jason Kidd has used him. Holmes has failed to make an impact after the Mavs traded for him on the night of the 2023 NBA Draft, which in turn landed them Olivier-Maxence Prosper with the 24th overall pick.

Pick a player the Mavs shouldn't have passed on! Desmond Bane, Tyrese Maxey, Immanuel Quickley or Saddiq Bey
How did the Mavs pass on Bane twice. Bane was the 30th pick Mavs had the 31st and 18th which they took Green. They passed once.
Grant is actually still around his career average as far as 3pt shooting goes this season. I know the recency bias has everyone hating him, but a lot of people forget how hot he started the season. People need to remember, this is a completely different role for him then what he was in Boston. Personally, I just don't think he was ready to go from middle of the bench guy to starter in one offseason. You can see that he's been asked to add certain stuff to his game like the post ups and driving, but that may have hurt the areas he was already good at to begin with. If it were up to me, I think we should keep him as a pure 3 and D guy as he was in Boston, and find a forward that actually is starter caliber if possible.
Grant needs to get healthy and mind set. He was a bench player in Boston that’s just what he is but he’s still young enough to turn it around.
MAN, Lil Nellie getting roasted on the show today (Mark n Rick should get some shade as well)! I hope if we ever keep our picks we can select better than 2020
The Mavericks will not have any more success than what Luka drives the team to. Jason Kidd is not the kind of coach that can ever inspire a team to a win when they are just worn out. When Lika does not give maximal effort on both end of the floor then the whole team takes a step back especially on defense. Kidd is not in a position of respect where he could bench Luka on a night were he is just floating.
Bro why everyone giving grant Williams a pass he took more money for a bigger role and there’s been too many times where he has 0 points on the stat sheet get him off my tram
MAVS NOT KEEPING OR SIGNING GOOD PLAYERS. MAVS DOING THE SAME THING WITH DEXTER DENNIS, TAZE MOORE (JASONS RICHARDSON 4.0), AND KAI SOTTO 7'3". KAI (THE REAL KAI) PHILIPPINO SENSATION WAS AT DALLAS MAVS SUMMER TRAINING AND MARK CUBAN WAS SATISFIED WHAT HE SAW WITH KAI. KAI WENT TO ORLANDO FOR NBA SUMMER LEAGUE SINCE DALLAS MAVS DIDN'T SIGN HIM FOR SUMMER TRAINING. ORLANDO FANS SHOUTED KAI PUT IN KAI PUT IN KAI PUT IN KAI WHEN SOTTO WAS RIDING THE PINE. FINALLY KAI (THE REAL KAI) GOT PLAYING TIME THE ARENA WAS ENERGIZED AND SUPPORTIVE OF KAI WHILE IN THE GAME AS HE BLOCKS, PASSES, DUNKS AND RUNS THE COURT WITH EFFORT JUST FINE.
HAVING JEROME LIVELY 2 AT 7'1" AND HIS BACK UP KAI SOTTO A 7'3" WOULD HELP LUKA AND KY TO FINISH GAMES BETTER HAVING A RIM PROTECTOR JUST ABOUT THE WHOLE GAME ASSUMING ONE OF THE GUYS IS OUT WITH AN INJURY. IT SEEMS TO BE A NO BRAINER. MARK AGAIN ONLY HAD GOOD THINGS TO SAY OF KAI.
IF MAVS WERE GONNA SIGN SOMEONE THAT THEY FELT HAD RELIABLE SKILLS, NOW IS THE TIME. NO NEED TO TRADE FOR KAI SINCE HE ISN'T PLAYING WITH ANY TEAM. JUST CALL UP HIS AGENT AND GET HIM ON THE ROSTER..ASAP.. THEN SIGN A CLINT CAPELLA OR BETTER YET JARRETT AIR ALLEN.
WITH KAI SOTTO 7'3" AND CLINT OR JARRETT WE PUT OURSELVES IN A POSITION TO CLEAN UP REBOUNDS AND RELIABLE TRUE BIG MAN INSIDE SCORING SO WE NOT LIVING AND DYING BY THE 3 POINTER.
Well yesterday you gotta atleast try he only played 2 min you can’t see anything in 2 min
Grant was able to shine in Boston because he fit. We assumed he was underutilized in Boston and was ready to take that next step. We were wrong, and we should’ve known. He’s undersized for a PF, and he can’t rebound or stop other starting power forwards. He was supposed to be out defensive leader. Instead. He’s a matchup guy coming off the bench for the foreseeable future unless something changes quick.
Theres no way you guys watch dwight play and believe is more playable than holmes. I watch him day and day out not defend, not rebound, not score nothing. At least holmes has had some vicious dunks or good blocks that make me hype. Not to mention he rebounds better and I will stand by that.
Besides Kyrie Grant Williams is second pearson with the moust experience in play offs. He also knows how to turn it up I would count him out yet. He needs a whole season with Mavs and then he should be really affective for Mavs

Maxey was the one I wanted at that point, Bey next. Knowing what i know now, its still Maxey, next is Bane
Powell is the MVP of Mavs
How can I trust any analysis from the Mavericks? They're too stupid to realize Kidd ain't it.
People make mistakes just like you and me. I guess there are lots of guys around Green that are (even) worse
OK they missed on bane get over it, how many times can you bring this up? Some players are a product of the teams they are on, bane could have been drafted by the mavs and only got 10 mins a game and been a bench player. It worked out for him in Memphis, so good for him.

I hate Mark Cuban.
Bro this channel is definition of overrating over one bad lost
The Mavs need starters!!! They keep bringing all this decent role players with the illusion of them becoming starters.
DON’T WORK
That’s why you go and trade for starter, the depth is secondary,
That’s Denver model, an amazing 5 men lineup and the rotation pieces you can find anywhere later
They need to build a Starting 5!!
The Bane disaster is probably what the Suns feels like with Luka.
It’s Kidd stoopid azz!!!
Tyrese Maxey made me cry 😢 once you put the graphic up!
Look we miss finney bad. He is exactly what we need
