oooo someone with a DRB% over 20%!!!
Maybe Charlotte would have sent him somewhere else
Rebounding is the main gripe I had about Lively. Haven't looked at him recently, but he didn't seem to rebounding like he should have been early in the season.
and the burks and bog contracts won't kill the knicks. grimes is a nice piece, but he seems like a guy that is easily replaceable.
i didn't get the ausar thing either. look, he can't yet shoot, especially from 3, but he was seemingly putting up large defensive stats, then to the bench for 11 minutes a night. seems ausar needs to be a 3, alongside a 4 that can spread the floor.
I haven't noticed it as an issue with Lively at all. In fact, he and Luka generally seem like the only two guys who can get a rebound. He's not like a guarantee it vacuum stealing bad bounces away from the other team, but he generally seems to do his job. Even when he's often doing it against 2+ rebounders from the opposing team because the 4 is the spot Dallas is undersized.
It was just me looking at box scores, but he had some games with like 3 or less rebounds which seemed odd with his size and jumping ability.
The answer to both of these is that Monty Williams is a stubborn and mostly terrible coach. I don't think he particularly paid attention to what was working and what was not working for the first half of the season as he kept giving Kilian Hayes and Isiah Livers starters minutes.
Second best Thompson twin in this rookie class, totally agree
Are you a Bucks fan?
this is a good trade for the bucks they need a permiter guard defender and that is what pat bev does take that to the bank bromigo
I don’t think it’s a motivating factor, but still nice. Clearing out roster spots is probably more important. As it stands now they are gonna get Utah’s first this year, gonna be tough to find spots for all the picks.
Story of the Mavs season. Everyone hurt everywhere all the time.
You just mad orlando didn't do squat
I’m not mad at all, it’s just boring and overhyped for what we get. Most people knew the Magic wouldn’t do anything, GM is patient to a fault.
as a nyk fan, i love seeing the mavs improve marginally. maybe this year they don’t tank out of the play in and surrender the 1st….maybe late teens.
It was bad, particularly since the Niners are going to get hammered this weekend and the team decided to take the night off.
Ausar is a fascinating player. He’s so ridiculously good defensively, but it doesn’t even begin to make up for how bad he is on offense. The only comp I can think of is Andre Roberson, or maybe Ben Simmons minus the passing.
Drafted 5 picks before Tyrese Haliburton.
Who are three guys who aren't real NBA players in the year 2024?
