@kingbob510 I literally acknowledged his shooting concerns in the post you’re replying to 😭
The entire appeal is his size, defense, secondary playmaking and upside at 22. If the shooting improvement holds up, that’s an added bonus.
I’m getting higher and higher on Anthony Black as a potential SG upgrade for the Mavs.
6’7”, only 22, a lengthy combo guard who fits exactly what Dusty wants defensively and gives us another ballhandler next to Kyrie and Coop.
His biggest question mark has been his shooting, but the early returns this season are encouraging.
Orlando also didn’t reach a rookie-scale extension with him, which makes things even more interesting.
The real question is what the Magic would actually want in return. How much would y’all be willing to give up?
We’re projected around $187M in commitments next season against a $176M cap, but the projected luxury tax threshold is around $214M.
So we’re not looking at major cap space, but there is some flexibility below the tax. Lively and Sasser are also due for new contracts, so that could change quickly.
That’s another reason why I’d prefer a Christie-based trade rather than sacrificing premium draft capital
I literally acknowledged that Orlando probably wouldn’t accept that package and that I’m unwilling to sacrifice one of our few premium firsts.
The entire discussion is about whether their payroll situation could eventually create an opportunity, not whether Orlando is obligated to accept my offer.
It’s trade speculation man lmao.
@kampagnepapi@DAN8701947166 He’s scoring 17ppg 5rpg and 5apg on 49/42/80 splits…
They’re not trading him. Stop making dumb posts about trading away players who aren’t even in our rotation with shitty seconds for promising young players lol. You’re embarrassing yourself.
@seanbush3 The problem is Suggs, Bane, Paolo and Franz make a LOT of money: they didn’t get reach terms with Black before the deadline either
I’m not saying it’s a surefire thing, but their roster is too expensive to be underperforming like this, so it’s something to monitor.
A Texas jury today convicted Markies "Yella Beezy" Conway of capital murder for the shooting death Melvin "MO3" Noble Jr. on a Dallas freeway in 2020.
Today is the sixth anniversary of Noble's death.
