[Clark] "The Pelicans made a push for Dejounte Murray before the trade deadline. They land him now. Lead guard with size who can take some of the creation load off of Zion. New Orleans liked his contract a lot. Owed $25 M, $27 M, $29 M next 3 years."

We just won the West I swear Mavs fans are the most pessimistic losers ever! We have at worst the second best player in the world just got rid of a guy who sucked on D and was so bad offensively he fell out of rotation, and replaced him with a better version of Josh Green on both sides of the ball! We are unbelievably young and guys like D Live,Hardy,and PJ are expected to make leaps next season. We still aren’t done,have moves to make,in Nico we trust!

The West is never easy we don’t have the luxury of playing in a conference with 2 legit threats. It’s always going to be atleast 8 deep in teams that can realistically make it out of the conference,but man I love where we stand in the war compared to a few years ago especially

Lively is gonna be such a solid starter as the years go on. Fits so well with Luka too

Hell yea. What an outstanding unexpected awesome rookie year for Lively man. Third most important player,on a Western Conference championship 3 wins away from a NBA title in year #1!!!

Yep, you guys have lots to look forward to. Even moving forward with just Luka and Lively is a pretty good set up.

Be interesting if they could sign a big free agent in the next couple years. Id personally move off of Kyrie but that's me
