July 1 Rudy Gobert joins KAT
The Mavericks were reportedly less interested in Utah Jazz tycoon Rudy Gobert, but rumors still nailed Dallas as a logical destination given the central situation last season. .. But the addition of Christian Wood and JaVale McGee showed that the Mavericks weren’t having one in a deal as big as Gobert’s deal, but were on a per-committee route. rice field.
According to Adrian Voinaroski, Jazz sent Gobea to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for four first-round picks (three unprotected), 2022 first-round pickwalker Kessler, and payroll fillers. I am doing it.
Timberwolves has sent multiple first round picks for Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Walker Kessler, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Gobert.
After the Mavericks defeated jazz in the first round of the playoffs, everyone expected Utah to blow things up. Due to the spillover effect of Dallas, Quin Snyder resigned and Gobert was traded. Next is Donovan Mitchell? Can the Mavericks participate in a fire sale? stay tuned.
June 30 “KDRIPPLEE FFECT”? We are confused enough about some of the claims made by the Mavericks (“I couldn’t offer Jalen Brunson!”) And Knicks (“We just met him!”). doing.
Equally heavy: What in the world when a Mavericks source tells Dallas News, “Don’t worry too much about the relatively quiet Mavericks” (in news terms) Does it mean?
via Source Callie Caplan tells her: “Currently, we are waiting for the spillover effect from the KD request.”
teeth? We do not question Kaplan’s report. I don’t know the quote. “have been waiting. …”
meaning …
Is the Mavericks seriously involved in the pursuit of Kevin Durant? Suspicious, but cool-he “likes to run out of all grounders,” as our decades of covering the Mark Cuban administration have taught us.
Or meaning …
Does the Mavericks refuse to actively work on what they want because they want to wait for what other teams and players are doing?
please think about it. Perhaps the main reason Jalen Brunson is no longer Mav is that he “failed to be aggressive.”
June 30 BRUNSONTOKNICKS OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL * WINK WINK *
After learning for most of the week that Jalen Brunson is planning a deal with the New York Knicks Adrian Voinaroski I put an “official” stamp on it.
Free agent guard Jalen Brunson has signed a four-year, $ 104 million deal with the New York Knicks and his agents Aaron Mints and Sam Laws. @CAA_Basketball Tell ESPN. The contract includes player options for the final season.
In fact, this was probably the worst cover-up in the NBA’s tampering history. On Wednesday, reports emerged that Branson would meet with Knicks, Mavericks and Heat. Miami media categorically denied the claim, saying Heat had not scheduled a meeting. According to another report from Mark Stein, the Branson camp canceled the Mavericks meeting and did not give them the opportunity to make an official offer.
Branson played his heart for the Mavericks in four years, and he deserves all the penny he gets from Knicks for his hard work. But the way he left Dallas is undoubtedly a bad taste for many fans and front office figures.
June 30 MCGEETOMAVS-How to get started? !! This may be a surefire move, as Phoenix Suns tycoon JaVale McGee has signed a deal with the Mavericks and, on paper, believes it will serve as a backup center for the newly acquired Christian Wood. Hmm. .. ..
Except that McGee seems to think he will be a starter.
McGee Clearly showingIn a conversation with Mavericks coach Jason Kidd (who worked with the Lakers) when he was preparing to complete his second career in Dallas, the idea that Maggie was a starter is now ” It is expected. “
That’s interesting.
7-0 McGee, 34, is a bohemian sort and can certainly serve as a Rotating Big. And he has his own championship experience. But … well, maybe the Mavericks have set up great internal competition at the center spot, what about that?
June 30 SEXTON & MCGEE ON THE RADAR?
The Dallas Mavericks wants to change Jalen Brunson’s thinking about leaving to join the New York Knicks, as the NBA’s free agents are just hours away. Mark Cuban, Nico Harrison, Jason Kidd, and potentially some Mavericks players will meet Branson in New York as soon as the free agent opens. If he decides to leave, the Mavericks need to quickly pivot to other options.
Cleveland Cavaliers point guards Collin Sexton and Phoenix Suns tycoon JaVale McGee are two names that Mavericks may be interested in, according to some reports.
Sam Amiko The HoopsWire reports that the Mavericks could be included in the Sexton mix if Branson actually departs for New York. Sexton played only 11 games in the Cavs during the 2021-22 season due to the defeat of the Meniscus. In 218 career games, Sexton averaged 20 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and shot 46% from the field and 38% from the depth. Aside from injury concerns, Sexton considers it an excellent alternative to Branson on paper.
Sexton initially wanted something in the $ 20 million range a year for this upcoming deal, but some believe in his market. Can range from $ 10 million to $ 12 million annually at this point. If so, can Sexton sign and trade Dwight Powell? Cleveland needs another big backup, and Powell’s $ 11 million contract has expired, which could be the worst.
in the meantime, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports reports that McGee, along with Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets, is in the spotlight of Dallas. McGee has already spent a stint in Dallas during the 2015-16 season, but his role hasn’t expanded as much as in the past few years at Suns, Cavs, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. McGee brings great depth to the Mavs bench to block shots.
June 28 Will Dragic finally join the MAVS?
Dallas Mavericks when Luka Doncic and Goran Dragic play for the Slovenia national team in this summer’s World Cup qualifiers, especially because the Mavericks have three open roster spots for Christian Wood’s trade. The speculation that we will work together will be even stronger.
When Dragic was asked by the Slovenian media about the possibility of signing the Mavericks this summer, Doncic and Dragic smiled at each other and then answered the question in a non-tampering fine.
“I want to answer that, but if I answer, I think it’s a $ 100,000 penalty. Ask GM about it,” Doncic grinned from ear to ear.
Added Dragic: “I can’t talk about it until July 1st.”
From Dragic to Dallas, the Mavericks have tried many times over the last three years. In 2019, the Miami Heat almost gave Dragic to the Mavericks on a silver platter in the trade, but the trade was unsuccessful due to conflicts of interest in the former Dallas front office. The Mavericks were also interested in signing Dragic last summer when he was rumored to be acquired. But by the time he was actually acquired, the Mavericks had a complete roster and had already exchanged it for Spencer Dinwidy.
The Mavericks signing Dragic makes more sense than ever, especially given that Jalen Brunson may be on his way to the New York Knicks.
June 25 Doncic shines with Slovenian victory
The Dallas Mavericks will not resume basketball until the NBA pre-season begins in September, but that doesn’t mean that Mavericks fans can’t enjoy Luka Doncic shining for the national team this summer. .. Slovenia played against Italy in a friendly match on Saturday, winning 91-90.
