NBA Trade Deadline Instant Reaction | How much did the Mavericks help their title chances?



NBA Trade Deadline Instant Reaction | How much did the Mavericks help their title chances?

The Mavericks getting the keys to the Chevy tracks baby that’s right PJ Washington and two second round picks are going to Dallas in exchange for Grant Williams Seth Curry and a top two protected 2027 first round pick and look at those two producers coming through with the lower thirds in my face stick

It SKS um so yes there it is oh my God Jerome putting me in my tracks there on the the lower third and you with your car there’s a photo of you and your car here we talked about PJ Washington you said the biggest names I don’t know

About that I don’t know about PJ Washington be the biggest names today traded playerwise talented wise give me a boan bogdanovich I think the Knicks are bigger winners than this this is a big question mark for me PJ Washington known as a three and D guy has not been

All that good at it uh recently that that’s the biggest thing they gave up a grant Williams here and they gave up a first- round pick that’s only top two protected in 27 in7 yeah whatever who knows what the Mavs are going to become without LCA possibly who knows what

It’ll be in 2027 I think the Hornets did pretty good pretty well on this one just because of PJ just hasn’t been an incredible shooter this year 32 for three last year 35 from three he seems to be a second second guy secondary complimentary guy that’s been all right

Throughout his career um and obviously Grant Williams getting burned on the defensive end so they go and get PJ Washington who’s a little bit taller but I don’t know if this is going to work all that he’s one inch taller Grant Williams is short but that

Was a quick run for Grant Williams they just got him before this season they said all right you’re out of here for PJ Washington essentially and I think they traded a pick swap to get Grant Williams from the Celtics and then are now paying another first round draft pick to get

Off Grant Williams and bring in PJ Washington who like T says can be a helpful player but you got to see him on the right night the night when he’s hitting threes he looks like a guy who who’s going to help you out and the other nights it’s like if you’re not

Hitting threes and you’re not playing D are you really a three and D player um but I guess they just wanted somebody besides Grant Williams is what it kind of comes down to so PJ Washington one of the better names out there right now to get and at least it shows Luca we’re

Trying they have traded a whole bunch of their future away for role players and centers and guys who can move the needle a tiny tiny bit but uh if I’m a Mavericks fan the Grant Williams experience has not been good to me I don’t think but for the for the Hornets

I think this is nice getting a first round pick cuz who knows what the Mavericks will be in 20127 and Grant Williams apparently was talking with the Hornets over the summer as well as potentially a team that he could join there so maybe he’ll have a better run

Where he’ll have a lot of shots available to him yes and Seth Curry gets to play in front of dad D Curry there on the broadcast yeah there will be good nights for PJ Washington that’s for sure he he’s averaged a block per game throughout his career which is

Surprising but he can play three four five defensively but I don’t know I’m not totally sold on this quite yet but maybe you’re not sold on PJ Washington actually being a better basketball player than Grant Williams is really what you’re getting at well at times and

They get they got a first round pick for him that’s that’s a good get for Paul Jermaine Washington Jr full name because I was unaware of that until today PJ Washington going to Dallas well that wasn’t the only thing that they did uh earlier today on line day they also

Acquired Daniel Gafford that’s a good one from the Wizards for ran Holmes and draft compensation we have there um so yeah Gafford for homes really so yeah PJ Washington and Gafford these are you know trying to address I guess you know their perimeter and bigs uh behind

Derrick Lively II who is their starting center what do you think about this TK I think that Daniel Gafford is better than rwn Holmes but I don’t really think he solves any issues for the Dallas Mavericks he plays the exact same way as d der Lively but he’s obviously not

Going to be as good at it so he’ll be coming off the bench I think a big issue for the Dallas Mavericks is defensive rebounding they’re 26th in the league in defensive rebounding Gafford is pretty poor on the glass as is PJ Washington so they’re not really winning there but if

You can catch lobs you can play alongside Luka donr is what it comes down to so Gafford I think he’s top 10 in the league in dunks playing on a team that has average point guards if you’re being generous he will probably finish in the top 10 in dunks cuz I think

Lively is seventh and Gafford is like ninth or something like that so uh Lob City baby yeah the Mavs are seriously going forward here with with Gafford and PJ and and paying a lot for them this draft competition we don’t know exactly what it is at this point but Gafford

Signed through two more years of making 13 and 14 mil so yes is he better than ran Holmes for sure and he is a pretty good finisher at The Rim as Trey was saying he finished pretty well for tus Jones lobs 1. Point excuse me 1.43

Points possession as a rle man is damn good his rebounds have gotten better on the defensive end they need a big guy yeah he he isn’t amazing at that end but he is good they just need a center frankly and Dallas’s record with Lively 22 and 14 without him six and nine so

They just need help and I think he will he will help in that regard

  1. pj hasn’t been good at 3 and d recently cause he played for the trash ass hornetsπŸ˜‚ him and gafford will thrive in dallas

  2. dallas did so well last summer and this trade deadline.. out of thin air they created a 1st to get Gafford, they kept OMP, Green, Hardy….got rid off Holmes and Grant Williams…amazing

  3. they went from spencer dinwiddie and c wood with limited assets to having a 2nd star a loaded roster and will have a plethra of picks this summer to trade oh and btw 90% of their core is 25 and below

  4. Are we not realizing luka and kyrie are alongside pg washington now? Just a little upgrade over the trash the hornets have.

  5. Saying they moved the needle a tiny bit is just ignorant they had two main holes and they literally filled them.

  6. The hornets are trash. Washington will flourish in dallas. And d gaff coming In is a huge refresher for a mavs fan. We've had Dwight Powell for 25 years

  7. Mavs increased rebounding drastically. Grant had the worst rating on the floor out of the entire team. Saying you arent sold is crazy. It cant fail for the mavs

    Got a 1st just for a swap that may not even be used?

    Massive W

  8. Gafford is a better rebounder then Maxi/Powell, Washington a better rebounder then Williams. So Dallas got better in that regard. Both Ars also not worse defensively then the guys they will replace in the Rotation. Even more, cause Maxi can now play more backup PF. We went from a Lively, Kleber, Williams, DJJ C/PF rotation to a Lively, Gafford, Washington, Kleber C/PF rotation. If thats not an upgrade, no clue what is one.

  9. These boys literally just said they don't know if PJ is a better player than Grant Williams, and Daniel Gafford fixes nothing for The Mavericks…. What a way to expose you have no idea what you're talking about πŸ˜‚

  10. Wow these guys must not know the nba very well. This was huge for dallas. Gafford starts for 1/3 of nba teams. He averages over 2 blocks a game and is averaging 8 rebs a game in 26 mins

  11. Mavs need to sign Spencer Dinwiddie. He's perfect for Dallas and well respected. Plus S.D knows the system better than any player. He can start at the 3 or come of the bench and rotate at the 1,2, or 3 an still be dominant. He's going to get 10 to 15 points a game with ease. It's the best decision for him and the Mavs.

  12. What are these dudes talking about! Gafford averages 8 rebound in only 27 minutes. How is he a bad rebounder? Derek Lively is the third most important player on the Mavericks as sad as that sounds. When he doesn't play everything goes down the drain. The Mavs are hoping he plays exactly like Lively. That's the selling point.

  13. Mavericks finded starting pf and c in deadline day ?? man Hornets and Wizards are such feeder clubs,no self respect

  14. People do not watch the Hornets nor the Wizards.

    Those guys are exactly what the Mavs needed tbh. Plus Dinwiddie. Awesome trade deadline for the Mavs.

  15. PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford with Lively, Green, Hardaway Jr. , Jones Jr, Hardy and the best backcourt of Kyrie , and Luka , still keeping D-Pow, Max-K, O-Max, Exum, and Morris easily the deepest roaster in the NBA

  16. We already have Luka , Kyrie , and Lively all we missing is Gafford and PJ πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

  17. Very ignorant takes clearly tells me they dont watch basketball. PJ is huge is better than Grant all round and had more upside and adds size to this team which we needed.

    Gafford one of the best bigs in this league talented defensively averaging 2.2BPG 6th in the league legit rim protector great. And is a double double threat every night 7'2 wingspan nearly 7'0 adds the size and defence/rebounding they desperately needed alongside Lively.

    The additions moves the need alot for the mavs expecially adding size depth and improving the froncourt to one of the best frontcourt depth in the league now..

    Mavs did great this treadeadline
