Keep increasing your trade value, Tim Hardaway Jr.

By now he's pretty much untradeable, we can't afford to not have his 6th man of the year production, especially if one of Luka or Kyrie is out or has a cold shooting day.

Lively with 8/8 and 3 blocks and 2 steals and the 2.5 quarters I saw with his hands involved everywhere. Unreal to think he's a rookie, plays like a seasoned vet. Also league leader in FG % and eFG %.

Yeah, Hardy isn't ready and Green, Seth and Exum aren't volume scorers, besides, him lacking and form of conscience, bails the offense a lot of times.

Holmes is fine as backup center IMO, he'll improve his horrendous touch, he used to be better...

I'm not even mad AD was cooking him for a while, he still had his hands up and made some stops, got rebounds, deflections... With Powell last year AD would score 60 probably. Crazy how good Lively already is and it's not even new year.

Yeah AD is playing thd best basketball of his career, Lively was fine.

Luka is an alleluja for bigs but yes he is damn ready and focused.

Adding Kyrie wont help the offense. He’ll take Luka and THJ shots.

On defense we’ll get worse.
Worse rebounding too.

Alright listen man, it's a damn good day today y'all. Our Aussie shot the lights out today, first time he's shot this many 3's in a game.....well, ever. In one game, he has fixed his 3 point percentage from sub 30 to 40.5 now. Insane.

Luka man, He has to be the best offensive player in the game right now with Jokic, and they're both Slavs so I'm loving it! Massive shoutout to Timmy again today, he's been excellent all season, how do you even trade him right now if he's going to play like this. I was also impressed by Lively again, and G-Will's first game back from injury and he shoots 5/7 from 3. Love to see it.

Great win on a back to back, this is a massive effort.

Actually I like having Kyrie out there with Luka, Exum and Lively. Luka with playmakers has always been a good combo for me.

It's really the 5th guy I'm thinking about cause DJJ might be a better fit than Grant.

false statement,sounds like Kyrie anti bias

If you want league leading pace ,then the 3 guard lineup of Luka,Kyrie and Exum are going to cause alot of headaches for NBA defenses .The sooner these 3 get acquainted with each others games the ball will be moving.
The question will be who sits ,Grant Williams or Derek Jones Jr.. I think it will be DJJ because GWMS is strictly a catch and shoot player and with 3 PGs playing any of them can get him easy looks.
DJJ,THJ,Green,OMax will be the next wave.

The leftovers are trade bait for a player with length that isnt over the hill.Mavs "dont" need a veteran player for Kyrie or Luka.

I would change it based on matchups. If the opposing best player is a big wing (ex. LAL, MIL, BOS, etc.), start Grant. Against teams where there are 2 star guards (ex. GSW, ATL, MEM) start DJJ.

Yeah I mean I was expecting him to come in and be the Mavs best C - which to be fair doesn't take much... - and I felt like I was already one of the more optimistic people on him but he's immediately stepped up to almost vintage TC level arguably with better passing and athleticism.

Luka played 44 MPG to beat Memphis and LAL at home, fresh Luka is playing great defense, Mavs need Kyrie, but it's looking more and more apparent, they need to be staggered and Exum should get a bigger role.
We watched Luka flame out last year w/o a co-star...

Best win of the season given the circumstances and super impressive after losing the lead.

Damn JH, catch the ball.

Damn refs, make it less obvious you have money on LA.
