Pekovic is a bit too injury prone for my tastes, and Gibson is a bit undersized at 6'9". Who else is out there? Come on, Larry Sanders. Hurry up and make a comeback with us!

no one really... trades mostly that's why I thought taj would be good cuz the bulls have a crowded big situation with Portis in the picture. Birdman, perkins... all crap

"Right now, it's only exploratory talks and not anything imminent, so maybe this doesn't happen. Then again, at this point, do you have any better ideas?"
I've always been a fan of his athleticism is great, but he's always Shaqtin' a Fool. Don't mind him as a backup though.

Have you seen him play yet or at all?
"I love basketball, and if I get to a point where I feel I’m capable of playing basketball again, I will. I’ve had to make the difficult decision to follow my intuition, and allow myself the space and time to explore my true purpose in life." - Larry Sanders
I'm hoping if he did/does play, this is the first step. I'm certain playing on a team with Dirk would help.

Haven't seen him yet... this week I prolly will.
Javale always had the skillset but never could put it together.
I swear they give carlisle rhe hardest players to coach season after season and he makes it work. Javale never had a coach like rick so it could work out. He's goofy as hell tho

Let us know how he looks. Yeah, Javale is goofy but not a headcase (e.g., Rondo, Odom).

I'm down with Javale.
Also we need to get a hold of Lawson... the more talent on the roster the better.

Lawson $12.4mil is tough when we already have 3 PGs (assuming Felton gets traded/waived). I'd rather get a backup for Dirk and starting/backup C.
Did some calculations this morning. We have $7,332,103 in cap room left.

Trade felton with that and not bring back JJ and it could work... then flip lawson and picks for boogie
Felton/Picks/Powell could net us a good big

Sure, haha. Soonest I think a player can be traded again is Dec 15. Maybe Boogie will have had enough by then. Javale would need to sign for the vet min too.

Saw this on Mavs Moneyball:
Saw this on Mavs Moneyball:
I actually hope Mavs can sign Seraphin plus Mcgee or Sanders (even better if both). Can someone comment on whether our current cap space permits this? My rough calculation is that it is possible to sign all three:
1. Seraphin – $6.5M per for three years with player option in the 3rd year
2. Javale – Minimum for one year (he has length and wasn’t that bad when playing around 18 minutes in Denver)
3. Sanders – Stretch Felton and sign Sanders to $2.6M per for two years
The 2015-16 team comprises:
1. PG – DWill, Harris, JJ – 30, 18, 10 minutes
2. SG – Matthews, Anderson (stop using 6’2"/6’3" combo guards…please don’t sign JET) – 32, 10 minutes
3. SF – Parsons, Jefferson, Evans – 32, 12, 0 minutes
4. PF – Dirk, Seraphin, Powell, Charlie V – 28, 26, 0, 0 minutes
5. C – ZaZa, Sanders/Javale – 24, 18 minutes
Big men contribution:
1. ZaZa gives you offensive rebound and mid-range jump shot
2. Mcgee/Sanders gives you defensive presence/shot blocking
3. Seraphin gives you low post scoring and athleticism
4. Dirk is just Dirk

Looks good to me, haha. I would like to see more minutes from Powell at the 4 though, regardless of this pipedream or not. I like the SG rotation, with Harris taking up some minutes in a small ball lineup.

From db.com:
The Mavs are wide-open to the idea of almost anybody as a center candidate. But there is no opening here for the gifted-but-troubled Larry Sanders.
But we've always viewed that last drug suspension as a game-changer, the straw that breaks the camel's back, regarding what their interest should be. We've said Sanders in Dallas would mean the import of a player who brings the Sword of Damocles to hang over their franchise, because the next failed test will have even bigger repercussions.
Looks like it's could very likely be Zaza, Javale, Dalembert as a 3 headed monster, which is actually a lot better than some of the players we've rolled with in the past.

With all the BS with DeAndre Jordan, it's nice to see that the Deron Williams signing is official. Hopefully he's able to stay healthy. Now we just need to get a couple defensive front court players to fill out our roster. We have plenty of depth at the guard positions. I think Justin Anderson might turn out to be a really good player that a lot of teams will regret passing up in the draft.
On a side note, I need to go to a Drew League game one of these days. I haven't been to K/D since I graduated there almost 10 years ago, lol.

We actually have a legitimate (non-Rondo) starting PG now. I agree that we have solid depth in the backcourt and wing positions. Need a big backup for Dirk (say this every year) and a backup C. I wish we had kept Amare at the min.
DWill - Barea - Felton
Wes - Harris - Anderson
CP - RJ - Evans
Dirk - CV - ?
Zaza - Javale? - Sarge?
I don't want CV as Dirk's primary backup. He's a flamethrower, but I want a bruising big man behind Dirk. I also don't mind Sarge as an emergency 3rd C. Just don't bring Greg Smith back.

Oh yeah, I did. Wasn't a fan of too many of those players, hah.
JJ back at 4yr/16mil though. Works well in the flow offense, and I guess it's not too bad given the upcoming salary cap increase. Re-opens the room MLE for someone else.
Might increase the chances of Felton getting cut, but $17 mil across 4 point guards isn't too bad.

Didn't realize we even had Jeremy Evans...
Welp, RJ's signing with the Cavs. I'm actually kinda sad about this. I thought he had some nice moments with us last season.
