    until marks's post, i wasn't sure we could do it twice--pretty sure thrice is out.

    as it stands, i'd cut morris and sign goodwin. if a big goes down, vando, bron, rui, and DFS are now back up centers. is what it is. get talent on the floor/roster.

    ditto, watched him play a few times for Sac, and he's nothing but a big body

    curious to see what he's got left in the tank, but yeah, it's not a wow move. honestly would have liked theis more (but maybe that was never possible).

    Don’t blame Len for The Hornet FO stealing our sunshine over the trade debacle:

    Can we counter report to league of cha scrupiless tactics? Cha has already done so on their end. Theres just no way Rob would risk pissing off Lukas need for an athletic lob threat like Williams

    i'm actually fine keeping reddish. he's a decent wing defender and that'll come in handy during the playoffs. milton or morris should be the ones to go

    Some more stuff on the trade that wasn't





    Charlotte, you can

    Also on last night's pod, Irwin said he heard that there were two injury issues we were aware of and ok with. Dr Rambis (why are you on the payroll...seriously) believed they were things he would grow out of. But then the discrepancy between what their medicals showed and what our physical showed was significant. Killing the deal.

    Just need the right players to get it done right if going small ball and force the other team to matchup

    We might have best small ball lineup in the league. And frankly we play better that way. The only player we need to worry about in the playoffs is Jokic. Other teams don't really have a big that'll punish you for lacking a rim protecting big. Let's hope OKC knocks Denver out. If not, sign another 7 footer on a 10 day contract to throw at Joker lol

    Anthony Davis is going to be a problem too. He's a small ball killer.

    ^^^ can’t in the playoff
    ^^^ … can’t sign 10 day contracts in the playoffs, it’s Len or bust for our “muscle” on Joker.

    If the Mavs even make it to the playoffs. They seem cooked with all their injuries.

    I expect they will be ready by the playoffs, nobody has a season ending injury. Washington is day to day, Gafford is out for two weeks. Lively is back at the end of the month.

    Again, they might not even make the playoffs. They are currently 8th and the teams around them are all relatively healthy. I can see the Warriors, Suns and Spurs overtaking them.

    FYI their record without Luka this year is 15-18. Now they have 3 more key pieces out of the lineup for an extended period of time. They may not have enough time to catch up with only 30 games remaining.

    Not my team, maybe they will, maybe they won't. I repeat that I would rather play Denver than Dallas though. Two months left, anything can happen, if Luka or Lebron, rolled an ankle, we could be in trouble ourselves. Just like every other team in the Conference.

    True, but half of their rotation is injured RIGHT NOW. And they are in an uphill battle as the 8th seed. Not even remotely similar to our situation.
