  1. Coop I think Thomas would fit very nicely in the macs lineup and help turn things around to get them back to the playoffs and title round

  2. Depending on where they draft, I would trade Lively in a heartbeat. The way he plays along with his fragile body will only continue to get hurt. So if can get value for him then do it. Also Acuff is they guy if I'm the Mavs

  3. Man y trade lively was that not the same issue with Chandler Tyson when he was drafted by the Bulls. Give me a break right now he’s still young so let’s pump our breaks with the Lively trade talk!

  4. Just listen I know Dallas will do what it takes to keep the Franchise in Dallas. Dumont will get the Vegas expansion team and Cuban and other owners will get the Mavericks and Luka will come back.

  5. Nobody wants Luka. He's Still Always Hurt and gets Embarrassed on offense and defense. Luka is a Huge Liability. Mavs know he Won't Change. That's Why They Already Dumped his A$$

  6. I say we package lively in a trade with a few other assets to get jalen duren if we are gonna trade him than we get a solid rebounder with good post game out of it that’s more reliable or just trade him for more future picks or use him to move up in the draft.

  7. I think after what the Mavs had to deal with in Anthony Davis and his injuries that they are far more open to trading Levely as he might be turning into AD lite health wise. Street clothes Jr.

  8. Trade Kkay Thompson and Grafford. Sign Bagley, Middleton, Brandon Williams and give Nemphard and Cisse another a two way contract.

  9. No need to trade him right now. Next season is going to be huge for him. We need to see that his body can mature and play 65-70 games, at least, every season. I don't see anyone blowing DAL away with an offer. The upside is that all the missed time drives his extension way down, ie when Curry extended w GS after all the ankle injuries on his rookie deal. The downside is you hold onto him, he doesn't blossom and maybe you missed out on a couple of second round picks. In my opinion, it's bad business to move on from DL now.

  10. I do not believe DAL is going to target for a huge move this summer. They now have the ability to but I don't expect that is their intent. That is going to be influenced by where they land in the Lottery. I think it's more likely that they look to shed Klay/Caleb, identify someone to use with the Full MLE, hope for DL to prove he can be healthy and then let this roster roll.
