Mavs free agency and draft discussion (welcome back TC!)

Not Mavs related but just read that Carlos Boozer is going to the Lakers. Although he's coming off a lackluster year, it can't hurt the Lakers having him at this point.

Devin Harris has been re-signed.

Interesting article on the Mavs Sixth man for the past few years. I forgot that Terry was pretty damn good coming off the bench.

Talks of Cleveland wanting to possibly trade Andrew Wiggins for Kevin Love.

Talks of Cleveland wanting to possibly trade Andrew Wiggins for Kevin Love.

They said yesterday Cleveland will trade Wiggins if they need to.

Twolves could build a whole new team on this trade if it happens.

I'd like to see Dallas get Wiggins but they don't have anyone to trade.

I wish there was a way we could get Eric Bledsoe. From what i'm reading him and Phoenix are far apart on the offered 4 yr/$48m.

That would be a pretty awesome starting five of Chandler/Dirk/Parsons/Monta/Bledsoe.

MFFL.

Rashard Lewis wont be a Maverick. He needs knee surgery and his contract has been terminated.

That's good news they were able to dump him without losing money. I'm guessing that was part of his contract?? Did he have one already I'm assuming? I know with Devin Harris he took a pay cut but they hadn't signed him yet.

I heard that Cubes is holding onto the $2.7M trade exception to see who falls through the cracks this summer and doesn't get picked up. Guess I never thought about it that way but I think it's good thinking.

Oh and I thought this was good reading even though it was prior to Bron Bron heading back home.

Dwyane Wade is the biggest loser of the NBA offseason

Looks like Mavs are aiming for Jameer Nelson for PG. Might not be a bad pickup.

Yeah he should be signing today...Mavs look to really want to make a push at another ring.

At least this will make them more competitive with the Spurs. Gonna be hard to dethrone a team that's bringing back 90% of it's players from a championship team, even if half of them are over the hill. (Cuban, you can learn something from the Spurs org). Yeah - It still bothers me a little that the Mavs didn't have a chance to realistically defend their title, but it seems to have worked out.

Yeah he should have kept team together...on the other note as Mavs were the only team to give S.A a run for their money in the playoffs this year. Should get interesting this year!

Starting 5

Nelson
Ellis
Parsons
Nowitzki
Chandler

I'll take that

Definitely looks good.

Off the bench...
Devin Harris
Brandon Wright
Richard Jefferson
Maybe Felton (holding out hope Carlisle can get him back to his prime)
Maybe Marion


Looks solid. Will miss VC but feel Brandon Wright might be the guy to take a more prominent role on that second line.
