    This is only one game and we'll see how things develop.  I'm not seeing a significant gap between the starting five and the first four off the bench.  We all know contracts play a role in deciding who starts, but they may not be able roll with that philosophy much longer.  I think Jalen and Bey need to be the starting fowards.

    Yes. Nothing against Dre but I think his time has to come to an end here. Bey fits much better offensively with the starting 5. JJ looks like he's about to break out.

    Other thoughts: first quarter and about halfway through second we ran an actual offense. Then someone flipped a switch and it was Hero Ball between Trae and DJM until the fourth quarter when we started moving the ball again.

    Hero Ball needs to die. 

    I know people are vastly overreacting to this game but I will say this: if it comes down to Trae or Snyder I stand behind the coach. Trae has to stop trying to Hero Ball and fit into the system. Heliocentric offense only goes so far. There ARE times you need it especially  in the playoffs but not like this.

    This needs to be brought up way more often… a HUGE chunk of our losses from last year came from DJ and Trae hero balling it out to end games. Its a severe problem that needs to be addressed ASAP

    Crazy what you can do when you dont have negative ballhandling/playmaking at the 3/4/5 positions...

    I really think that gets overlooked a lot. The inability of Hunter and JC to move the ball really hindered our offense as a whole. People keep asking about ball movement but youre not going to get that with guys who cant pass

    IMO

    Christian Wood will be the steal of FA. The max he can get from any team, including the Mavs, is 12.4M per bc no one can offer more than that. In spite of his faults, he is instant buckets, especially if he’s played off the bench. He’s also a security blanket if a trade for a PF falls through or if JJ proves he isn’t ready. He will probably end up signing for a lot less, but I wouldn’t hesitate to offer the full MLE for a multi-year deal. Even at 12.4M this year, he’s a steal, but if we signed him to a 3 or 4 year deal at that amount, come 26-27, when the cap is 171M and the Super Tax is 229M, that 12.4 per looks like absolute pennies. It will also prove that we aren’t afraid of the tax, in case someone (Siakam) is concerned about our owners willingness to pay. He is much more talented than his contracts have been. We should pounce on this immediately.

    Wood is talented offensively but theres a reason teams keep passing him around. Pass.
