They need a solid Upper Tier player to step up when LeBron and Davis aren't playing well.
To get that type of player, they will need to aim higher and send out more/better assets than they did for DFS. |
Are we still in the race for Cam Johnson? If we can manage to somehow get both him and Kessler we’d be in a better spot

You really think this duo can do something? |
Look, it’s one bad game - it’s not often both are playing like trash
But yeah if this becomes the norm, you’d be inclined to blow it all up

Horrible effort playing down to your opponent... Not matching teams energy. Most teams treat playing the Lakers as their get up game.
Getting out rebounded and out shot in 3s... Lakers expected the Mavs team to fold missing Luka/Kyrie/Gafford. |

We wasted our best trade asset on a redundant player so probably not. |

Here comes the multiple game losing streak to bring us back down to reality. We are a playin .500 squad.

Why wasting your talent on LG maybe you should try for GM |

An 18mil expiring contract is NOT a better asset than an unprotected first

I think Lebron has checked out on this team and is just playing for the money at this point. |

We’ve been a 45sh win type of team for all the AD Bron years aside from the year they had elite defense.
Until they don’t get elite defense they will be a good but not great team. |

Lots of nba players can do more than they’re allowed to do. Not everyone can be unleashed on offense, there’s only one ball.
No other team/coach would deliberately make AD/Lebron (or Kyrie/luka) step back on offense to give the likes of Rui and Dinwiddie more freedom to cook. |

He plays with heart. But he's definitely getting picked on out there. They were attacking him mercilessly tonight. |

Dinwiddie's been bad for like 4 seasons now, including this one. It's a playing against LA thing. |

I enjoy watching AR play on the offensive side of the ball and think he's a great player for a team that isn't looking to contend. He just can't defend at a high enough level. I would make everyone available in a trade except Bron, AD, DFS, Christie if it brings two way players.

| Giving 118 to a Mavs roster that had no Kyrie no Doncic is laughable. 21st on defense despite coach trying to play defense lineups. We need a lot of more help defensively DFS is not enough. |

It was his 1525th regular season game. What did you expect him to do? Should he cry after a regular season loss?
