Damn, who will Jason Kidd give minutes to now that causes Mavs fans to have a heart attack?

[u/Afraid-Department-35 → u/wcooper97]

Dwight Powell is inevitable.......

[u/olfactoid → u/Afraid-Department-35]

When will I learn? I was half paying attention to our 58th pick during the draft yesterday and missed the analysts mentioning the ajinca trade. It was really confusing to hear the analyst talk about the knicks after the pick was announced, but I wrote it off and felt a moment of sadness/optimism about our apparent new third string center.

[u/WasDavid → u/Afraid-Department-35]

The cockroach.

[u/mikesh8rp → u/wcooper97]

Can't be a good sign that as I write this, four different Mavericks fans have responded with different players.

[u/Justgotbannedlol → u/mikesh8rp]

It may not seem like it cuz our record generally overperformed, but man some people on this team got some bad, BAD minutes in the last 5 years.

[u/ivarokosbitch → u/mikesh8rp]

Every single team in the league has 5 to 10 players like this by virtue of basic roster construction.

[u/tweenalibi → u/wcooper97]

Quentin Grimes lol

[u/Panfriedpuppies → u/wcooper97]

My boy Josh Green.

[u/Sw3atyGoalz → u/Panfriedpuppies]

Josh Green has some boneheaded moments but he’s still a great role player imo

[u/Panfriedpuppies → u/Sw3atyGoalz]

Yeah, he's definitely not bad. I feel like he lacks confidence sometimes and hesitates, which contributes to those moments. He's still got room to grow, though.

[u/segson9 → u/wcooper97]

Maxi

[u/NeptuneOW → u/wcooper97]

Hardy, Exum, and Green.

[u/bomonty18 → u/NeptuneOW]

Hardy had some solid performances during this playoff run. His biggest issue was his inexperience going in and trying to jack up some dumb ass shots. Think he can become a valuable piece once he calms down and being in the biggest stage this past year will help with that a lot.

Also, what the fuck do I know 😂

[u/--Alix-- → u/bomonty18]

Who knows honestly

Hardy was unaffected by the big stage which is nice, but man his bad plays were really bad.

[u/Nubras → u/--Alix--]

Yeah for a few minutes he was going bucket for bucket with Ant and then somehow the wheels fell off and he started slinging errant-ass passes and taking wildly unnecessary shots. Love that type of trick or treat player on the opposing team

[u/Millionaire007 → u/bomonty18]

He literally had me confused when he was running in like that. Do they not teach pull ups anymore?

[u/bomonty18 → u/Millionaire007]

I think it was a combination of over excitement and inexperience

[u/DangerZoneh → u/NeptuneOW]

Tf you mean all three of those guys are awesome for us

[u/jnightrain → u/DangerZoneh]

agreed, never felt bad when they went in but when THJ when in i was certain he was going to take constant "heat check" shots regardless if he was making shots or not.

[u/NeptuneOW → u/DangerZoneh]

I didn’t finish reading the question, that’s my bad

[u/dmavs11 → u/NeptuneOW]

Come on now all 3 of those guys played decent last year. Give them a year. we just needed a bit too much from them last season.

[u/NeptuneOW → u/dmavs11]

I didn’t read the entire question, my bad. I love all three players

[u/IMKudaimi123 → u/NeptuneOW]

Hardy is sliding into the thj role

[u/NeptuneOW → u/IMKudaimi123]

Correct

[u/EastTexasAg → u/NeptuneOW]

You must not watch much basketball. The salaries and roles are perfect.

Those guys are around the 6th-10th best on our roster that is improving... They average like 10 min a game. Lol

[u/NeptuneOW → u/EastTexasAg]

I didn’t read the whole question. I love all three of those players, especially Hardy and Green. I really like their game and can see Hardy being a 6MOTY candidate in the future

[u/mvnvel → u/NeptuneOW]

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I have faith Kidd will actually make some good more sensible decisions.

[u/Der_Dunkinmeister → u/wcooper97]

Maxi - dude is washed

[u/MissileWaster → u/Der_Dunkinmeister]

The NBA finals is probably the wrong time to try and see if you can get Maxi hot from 3.

[u/Millionaire007 → u/MissileWaster]

11 different rotations in a fucking finals game smh. Fucking Kidd, fucking Kidd.

[u/Someonediffernt → u/wcooper97]

Quentin Grimes, he had a field goal percentage of 37.2% last year

[u/FarMobile4219 → u/Someonediffernt]

Career 37% from 3 and spot up shooters like him get some of the best looks in the league playing off Luka. If DJJ can turn into a respectable shooter in Dallas I’m not at all worried about Grimes

[u/wcooper97 → u/FarMobile4219]

I wouldn't be worried either, Grimes will probably shoot 55% from 3 against us in a playoff series next year.
