I was thinking AT LEAST he had experience playing with Domas, a big who shares the ball, so he might be able to kickstart his DHO game with Jokic?

Bucks are already a big team with GA and Brook. Robin and Portis off the bench plus Middleton, they can play bully ball next year.

Although the unceremonious news dump on Independence Day suggests that they’re cutting him before a really really bad news story breaks

I dunno. He's just not very good, and assuming Isaac is healthy they'll have to find minutes for him beside Banchero and Carter (and Mo, who they just reupped to keep Franz happy). Heck, Goga even outplayed him after the trade deadline.

I'd take a flyer on Bol Bol any day I mean the Kings had Metu playing last year....

Huh, I assume it’s for part of the mid level. Likely takes them out of the Grant Williams sweepstakes. Is he really going to end up back in Boston?

if I’m not mistaken, the Mavs are now future asseted out until Luka is 40.

Is Boston just dumping salary, or prepping something else?
Mavs getting better at D

They’re about to offer Jaylen Brown the super max as a tweak already deep in the tax. They needed to get rid of Grant’s salary to avoid paying a bajillion dollars is luxury tax.

Frustrating. We almost certainly had the assets to match or exceed Dallas's offer. Although if it's a sign and trade I suppose GW may have had a say in where he was willing to go

or they will trade for Dame (not sure if that is possible)

Gotta give Dallas credit, they looked like a dumpster fire last year and at least on paper have built defense around the big two.

The West is so stacked this year. The two seed might have 48 wins

He had 100% say.

I’m sure they are confident Vivek will send him a pick

Damn. Finally a FA contract I'm bummed about. This is a steal for him.

He and Luka are friends and have the same agent

Yep, they're making things even tougher.

It could also be one of those seasons where 1st and 2nd have 55-60+, then there's a 2nd layer of a few 50 win territory teams and 5-10 is probably 45 W area and down. The Kings and Grizz are likely the stay or drop teams this year.

Dallas has had a good offseason. A lot of focus on defensive players. Even Holmes will eat well with Luka and Kyrie. They’ll be dangerous next season.
