The Mavs must be on some "Major League" ****.

Trae, Daniels, Risacher, Johnson, KP & Okongwu - top 6.

We could barely beat the Hawks last year - let alone get the ball over 1/2 court against Daniels.

Now the youngsters all mature a year and they add KP for basically free.

Celtics get a scorer to replace some of the Tatum punch and shed the Jrue extension. I don't really think Simons is a Celtics - like player on defense, but he will be extremely happy putting up 8-10 3's per night.

Yes - I would think Portland hopes Jrue solidifies the great defensive base they instilled last year on the roster and his presence despite his age continues to build a long lasting defensive foundation.

I'm sure Simon's will beat us with as you note a 8-10 night from 3 at least once and maybe twice next year.

Simons was always a kid I wanted in NY.

Some saying Jrue doesn't want Portland and Knicks could use a starting 2 with size, who defends and who can knock down an open shot.

Boy if we could replace numb nuts Hart, hid matador D and crazy passes with rock solid Holiday -- that would seem like a nice switch.

Imagine having to package a top 3 pick to get out of last year's free agency signing!

...way worse than the number 11.

Hawks must be targeting Ace. He has the potential to be Cam Reddish 2.0, so it tracks.

Listen I wanted KD on Knicks but I'm probably the only one who thinks Houston gave up too much for him.

I think they will miss ALL of Brooks, Green and the #10 pick.

Green is erratic but the kid can get buckets on his own and when he gets going he gets them in bunches and easily.

Me personally I'd rather have Green as our SG vs Mikal as our 3 but that's more so wanting us to add another ball handler who isn't Josh Hart or Mikal or OG.

Hawks should add another 3 & D to add to Daniels and Risacher and surround Trae with as much D as possible.

Na, my bad. Was making light of us trading out of the lottery to get rid of Kemba and Burks a few years ago (worth it!)
