[Absolute Zero]

At least Skip recognizes Doncic as a "disaster of a defender" and a "turnover machine"

Colin points out the Suns attacked Doncic 50 times last night as the screen defender. They hunted him since they know he was tired and a poor defender.

I was throwing some mud at the wall but I bet the Mavericks kick around ideas during the off season.

Zach Lavine and Jusuf Nurkic are a couple of free agents they might pursue.

They are capped out

They are capped out

They would have to do a fire sale which I believe it was Ouchie mentioned.

I am with the crowd that think Luka and Booker would not have worked out together. Booker would not have have liked being a pure catch and shoot guy, our back court (at the time) would have been a mess defensively and our front court would have been a joke.

We would have had to choose and I bet we would have chosen to keep Luka and we'd in the exact spot the Mavs are right now.

LOL the Nick Wright (or whatever) take that they're not beating them straight up! LOL what a moron. Pick and roll is a gimmick now guys. BIG IF TRUE.

this made my day, thanks Nick!

No way. Not after never had a pg. book would have the best looks he had ever had in his career to that date due to Lukas passing and the attention luka would’ve required defensively.

I agree with you. I think Booker and Luka would fit excellent together, just as Booker fits with Paul, so that argument that Booker would bail because of Luka doesn't hold water in my opinion.

He's no Booker, but when dallas made the trade for Dinwiddie there was an instant uptick in their scoring ability because Dinwiddie can both catch and shoot and shoot off the dribble or drive when someone closes him out. Dallas don't have many of those players aside from Brunson. Before Brunson's emergence, Hardaway Jr. was actually the mavs best catch and shoot guy or dribble drive player aside from Luka. For me Ayton is a great player and right now he was the better pick for the Suns, so in the end it worked out great for both teams.
