Not mad at the Drummond interest. Just means maxi is a full time 4 I guess.

Means Dwight Powell should also be on the move too. Maybe to Houston for part of the leftover money spent after FVV and Brooks?

Dallas really move like Luka is 29 years old. Let Lively develop with him and stop rushing 
The WCF appearance really got Cuban trying to piece things together. You finally have some young assets who can develop with Luka in Hardy, Green and Lively. Holmes is a nice add on that basically cost nothing -- Drummond is not a necessity.

im ok with Brooks. Even Van Vleet really, but we all know a trade is incoming for some big veteran.FVV and Brooks... What a way to spend $60m's in cap space...
Just who is the question.
My guess is LaVine.

Luka is a perennial All-NBA 1st/2nd team guy. They hit the lotto with him. Don’t really think you can just wait around and let dudes develop like that. He’s ready to win now. If you want to focus on development, trade Luka for a bunch of pieces then and start over.

Gotta think that they feel barring health they are the second best team in the conference (because it’s still wide open) They aren’t too far removed from the WCF. I’d be aggressive too.
I mean lively was a 5/5 guy in college. 12th pick. He’s still very much a project and if he’s better than he showed in college, he’ll get his chance cause kidd going to play as many centers as you let him

Of course not, looking at all the recent NBA Champions - all of them teams loaded with Bigs save for the '22 Warriors, which are the exception to the rule only cause there's nobody like the Splash Bros

Bucks
Lakers

Drummond slated to make $3.3M for the Bulls. If he signs for his minimum, it would be $3.1M. But there's no state taxes in Texas. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe they can sign a guy like Gordon with the mleI'm seeing the move is to open up minutes for Bones and Boston. But they dump a couple more contract, they can actually get the MLE.

I get it, but just not understanding the team building. Everything that help you get the WCF, Cuban traded away in Dinwiddie and DFS for a guy that may or may not re-sign in Dallas and tons of questions in Kyrie. He's elite, but just seeing some short sighted moves since making the WCF.
Nico seems to have taken over in some aspect, which has been good with drafting.
I'm not surprised -- Cuban has always seem to luck into championship caliber teams because Dirk or Luka go super saiyon in the playoffs and everyone else on the team rallies behind that. I just don't think Drummond is a need or does much for their roster come playoff time. He just takes more minutes from your lottery pick potentially.

Happy for you. I know the money is good but it seems like a ton of BS

After losing Brunson for nothing (which was insanely stupid), the team as currently constructed wasn’t going to do a damn thing come playoff time.
I’m not a Cryrie guy, but he gives you a higher ceiling than Dinwiddie and DFS. Those are role players that are easier to replace.

They’ll sign Gordon to a 3/30 mill deal or something.

FVV and Brooks... What a way to spend $60m's in cap space...
They are two year deals, there is now a team salary spending floor and Houston is going to have to pay a bunch of guys in the upcoming years.
These are good signings with the big picture and future of the franchise in mind.

I really don't mind it, but family stuff is happening. My parents are getting older, and my brother just had a kid. Am I really not gonna be around so I can mess around in Excel and PowerPoint forever? That's not what life is about.

How is he the scapegoat? Their front office was pretty clear in saying they thought this team maxed out what it was. Poole also sucks. Two truths, no lie.

Brooks is taking a 2-year deal to go play with a bunch of volatile young guys on a bad team?
Feels... ill advised.
