Their season took off when they started playing him as a starter. He has been out with a broken thumb... and they started losing more. He's been good there.he's actually been pretty good - 18 and 8 on 64% TS.
You gonna be sitting there with one shoe for a while homie... just go barefoot maybe.Sooo I'm still waiting for the shoe to drop that Big Mike mentioned....
I think you could make a case that if you are looking for undervalued players, people playing next to Doncic is a good place to start.he's actually been pretty good - 18 and 8 on 64% TS.
He sucks on defense. He has for a while. He will get some blocks but he's never really figured that side of the court out.How has his defense been? He was touted as a solid defender at one point. Looks like his RAPTOR stats have been on a decline for the past couple of years. I kind of get that in the houston ****-show, but in Dallas I expected a bounce back.

As far as actual player we could/would trade for... I think the guy I keep coming back to as the best, price, age, roster fit is Josh Hart.
I think Vando/KO for Hart straight up is pretty fair... likely winslow and other parts get tossed in to balance the books. If Hart walked at the end of the year nbd... we'd have routes to use cap space or MLE on someone. He's one that is up and down and I think the stuff we run might work for him.
Also wish if we were going to be competitive we should have cut Udoka and kept Stanley Johnson. He'd be better in the Rudy Gay minutes imo.
Still seems these bigs get worse in Dallas. same for Porz on his RAPTOR stats. Dallas isn't a good system for bigs apparently.He sucks on defense. He has for a while. He will get some blocks but he's never really figured that side of the court out.
IDK but Hart's name has been out there a lot and he is viewed to be available. He is a FA at season's end and they may not want to pay him and Grant (they won't go into the tax) they also have Little back now and Sharpe they want to keep getting playing time. Gary Payton is also healthy and playing. I think its a budget cut for next year if they can get a piece that better fits the finances - like Vando.I've wanted Josh Hart for years, but why exactly are Portland willing to trade him? Seems like he's an indispensable player for them.
I will always be on Stanimal island. I didn't realize he was having such a good year with SAS. He could turn into a nice piece for them. I thought he might be a starting option for us to begin the year, which was admittedly biased and crazy but maybe not too crazy.
I get why we're playing Rudy Gay, but there is a opportunity cost to playing him instead of having those minutes go to someone else who might blossom. Gay, Udoka, and Bolmaro are wasted roster spots.
I think the idea of Hart is better than the actual Hart. I do think the actual Hart helps more than Vando and KO. I’d prefer the draft pick route but if we are looking at actual players instead… then he’s one that would work for me.Josh Hart scares me. he's been a pretty good defensive player, but he'll be 28 this year and he's just never been a very reliable three point shooter. hovering around 34% for his career - 33% this year. though he has been a pretty efficient overall scorer most of his career, and does rebound his position incredibly well and defends. also defends multiple positions. josh hart is one of those guys who doesn't hurt you with inefficiency, poor defense, or being a ball stopper.
i guess i'd just rather get younger than add more average older guys though i wouldn't hate it. i'd rather have Hart than Beasley

Friendly reminder that we could signed Christian Wood for about 4 million more.....than what we paid to bring Favors back for.
LOLYou gonna be sitting there with one shoe for a while homie... just go barefoot maybe.
We adding a first by getting one attached to Collins… lol.
McMahon and Lowe on his pod today... said they think we add a first or two at the deadline. They think we will be sellers. Tim is in SLC right now or just was... He's clued in.
