Im not Ron but we have all our picks 2017 and beyond. Since 2016 has been traded (Bargs, Barf, hold me, ugh) 2017 CANNOT be dealt, just like our 2015 pick.

Ivan Johnson’s contract with the Dallas Mavericks will be for two seasons, with partial guarantees, league sources told RealGM.

The Mavericks announced the signing on Tuesday.

Johnson played for the Mavericks’ summer league entry in Las Vegas, averaging 7.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, one steal and 20.8 minutes per game.

Johnson spent the 2013-14 season with the Zhejiang in the Chinese Basketball Association.

Johnson, 30, had two productive seasons with the Atlanta Hawks in 2011-12 and 2012-13 – scoring 6.5 points and grabbing 3.9 rebounds per contest in 125 total NBA games. The 6-foot-8 forward worked himself back into the league through workouts late last season and into the summer.

Good signing by the Mavs they need some nasty and enforcer.

Ivan very fine example of hardwork and dedication with limited skillset

This is the kind of player you'd like Phil to take flyers on//// not over the hill crackheads

The week 11 Player of the Week is Bobby Brown of Problems. He finished with 37 points, 6 assists and a rebound in Problems 96-86 win over the Jaguars.

The other Top Performers for week 10 are:

Brandon Jennings - The Clozers: After a week off, Jennings returned to drop 33 points on C.A.B.C., leading The Clozers to a 99-88 win. His 50+ point streak ended at a pair of games.

Victor Rudd – M.H.P.: Victor Rudd makes the Top Performer list for the third consecutive week. Despite Nick Young’s return to the team, Victor was the standout player with 29 points and 16 rebounds. M.H.P. defeated LA Loop 79-70.

Oh, word? I love the Sichuan Blue Whales!!

Wanna move to China with me? We go 50/50 on everything. Go Whales!!

Meanwhile, Magic Johnson also said he tried to convince Carmelo Anthony to leave the New York Knicks in an hourlong phone conversation. Johnson noted that he spoke at length with Pau Gasol, who chose to leave for the Chicago Bulls instead of staying with the Lakers. "We had a great conversation but I think the way he was treated last season, kind of hurt him," said Johnson. "Here's a guy 18 [points] and 10 [rebounds], shooting over 50% and you want to bench him? You want to mess with this guy? He could never get over that." Los Angeles Times - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.PG6FdsB8.dpuf

They fired MDA didn't they? Why did MDA mess with him? Did Pau not want to run? Why you bring in MDA if you don't want your guys to run?
Magic just likes to come out of everything looking good AFTER. Seems like they might do better, or certainly no worse if Magic DON'T MAKE THOSE CALLS!!!

Magic has been down on D'Antoni for a long time and has been saying this stuff. I think I read the same article. Didn't Magic say he would be happy if the Lakers never took a three point shot again?

Ok, but MDA been gone way before Pau bolted!!!!!
And bolted for less money.

Maybe he saw Byron Scott coming and thought it was time to move on!

Mike Brown, MDA, Byron Scott..........Not easy to fill the shoes of Phil! They got Rudy Tomjanovich but the dude was burnt out and still had to pay him. Lakers out side of Hiring PHil hare not made good choices. THey even had Magic for a spell and he was a train wreck as a coach!
