Mavs should probably chill for another year and get another good draft pick/maybe take some fliers on guys. Bringing in veteran players right now seems not ideal. Luka is really good but he certainly still is on his growth curve and probably isn't ready to be the guy on a competitive team yet.

Well crap, I'd still want to test the waters with him to see that he can play and at a high level but if you think you're going to be giving a mini-max or near-mini-max to Zing anyway you probably need to shoot your wad this season regardless. You don't want to be in a situation where right when one group of guys are starting to get good your other money players are falling off but I guess Dallas already cast that die. Edit: Well, Porzingis is a RFA anyway, so you really don't need to convince him to sign. But this is probably the last season with significant cap space.

Porzingis has made noise about taking the qualifying offer this summer but I don't think you really need to take it that seriously

He seemed happy to be in Dallas and I doubt he turns down guaranteed money because he wants to compete THIS season and not NEXT season. The cap situation to me seems a lot more significant.

Luka is really good but he certainly still is on his growth curve and probably isn't ready to be the guy on a competitive team yet. I think it kinda depends who they can bring in. I don't think a Kemba makes the team a contender or anything but he's a player crush of mine and I'd be happy with a fun team after the last few years. Another Harrison Barnes type deal would be a huge waste of time. I'd pretty OK if the team just targeted mid tier 3 and d types and added some rebounding, though. I wouldn't put money on a playoff berth but I think Luka + porzingis + not shooting like 32% on open threes would make for a much stronger and more entertaining team

Monty has been through enough. I know Kemba looks like a consolation prize but I think if the Lakers can hit the AD trade and also sign Kemba, they're right back in the mix. Lonzo could throw lobs to CHEICK DIALLO in Norleans. I would guess a Kemba signing would be a signal that more extreme things haven't worked.

Kemba and Lonzo could play together, but I think Lonzo was signalling hard to get out of LA.

Pat Bev makes a lot of sense in theory because he can shoot, plays D, and would be fine standing in a corner while LeBron dominates the ball, but they could really use another reliable shot creator. I guess Ingram could kinda be that but he's not really at the level they need him to be yet and ideally it'd be someone who also can space the floor.

The spacing part is key, because Ingram was the 11th best iso player in the league but defenses are also aware of the fact that he basically will only take threes until he misses one and then stops, so defenses dont' guard him particularly close without the ball. Patrick Beverly would be a pretty nice fit, but I half think he would probably take less money to stay with the Clippers because he seems like he's found a nice home there.

pbev is perfect because of all the previously mentioned things but yall are forgetting Lebron's love of having a guy like Perk on the team to throw 'bows and pbev gives you that too

His last locker room was toxic enough that his best player spent a solid month pouting until half of the team was finally traded, and his second best player demanded a trade going into the season, so are we sure this is true?
