DJJ has to be kept!!!
Nah I’d rather have klay
He must be kept
DJJ to Clippers man, 3y 30M
Harrison was spot on with his take. I don’t want to lose DJJ
I won’t get my hopes up until this happens…. We never sign any significant FAs why would things change now??
Because its different time and team
Different management nico use to be a vp at Nike I think so he gotta lot of pull and you don't get a position like that being mediocre
Umm... You do realize we signed Kyrie Irving in fa right? This ain't the Donnie Nelson regime or haven't you noticed?
@@ericheffner112Kyrie was traded to us for Doe-Doe and picks, not a free agency situation
@@gldewkisKyrie re-signed in free agency with the Mavs
If we can get Klay and keep DJJ, we may get to the chip next year. We will hopefully have a healthy Luka, improved Lively, PJ, Gafford. Things will be looking really good.
I bet money that Nico gets Klay and is still able to keep DJJ
@@SquidysTents I hope your right but I’m herring klay is willing to take the MLE for 13mill to play for the lakers… plus klay dad said he wants to call his son’s games
That would be amazing
YUP
DJJ IS GONE CHANGED HIS AGENT
DJJ to clippers
Mavs need an athletic defender and a player that can get their own shot. This is not Clay. Caldwell Pope is who they should go after.
Exactly. Even if Clay is same as last year he will drop off in year 2 and 3. He will be 37 in year 3.
No man. We just got rid of THJ. A volume shooter with lil to no defense. On top of that Klay is 35 once the season is going. Don't do this Nico
35 in feb. He's a champion, he's a shooter. Get him, it'll be fun.
Kinda bummed to hear they’re prioritizing Klay over DJJ. I thought Nico said resigning DJJ was priority 1A and 1B :/ hope that’s still true?
He can’t shoot
He also said they’re always looking to get better!
DJJ switched agents and can’t talk til 7/11… business is business
All of this smells bad for Dallas because it seems odd for DJJ to switch to Klutch Sports, then Lebron being willing to reduce his salary to fit other players.
I bet my last dollar Rich Paul is feeding DJJ bad information to get him to go to LA. Meanwhile, Lebron is working his angle with Klay. I’m not saying I’m right but I feel I’m 80% on the right path with this.
Klay would fit great next to Kyrie and Luka.
I’m super conflicted on klay. I can see the benefits of getting him but for me it’s his personality. The little bit I know about him I don’t see him fitting with us chemistry wise & I’d hate to lose DJJ for someone who could try to force his way out in a year cause he doesn’t like his role.
There's a chance we get both though, so honestly I'm down for klay and I believe in Nico. He's been cooking since he came here so I have faith in him.
I do… Dallas protects its players.
He can still shoot. Sometimes. But he really has trouble getting going in the second half. Injuries have made his legs disappear faster of course.
I’d rather get Grant
Fr. At least he can play better D if he’s not hitting shots. With klay, it’s like be hot or its bust
KCP!!!
As long as our starting 5 plus Lively isn’t touched I’m good with it
If we can sign flight 55,then sign and trade for Klay....we'll definitely be in luxury tax/going all in for a deep run.
Get both them. But who comes off bench? Pj or Klay?
And it’s shaping to be a fascinating mid-level market, especially with word circulating among league personnel that Klay Thompson could be willing to take that amount in order to join the Lakers or Clippers. That would be a steep drop from the two-year, roughly $50 million offer Thompson declined at the start of this past season. He remains on the list of secondary wing options for Philly should George spurn the Sixers, sources said. Dallas appears to be the one of, if not the strongest suitors for Thompson, sources said. thats what I read about it last.. so I dont really know why were talking about it.
i pray pray pray for this, and to keep DJJ , the Mavs would be set!
There’s not really a market for DJj other than Dallas 🤷🏽♂️
It’s a market for him the question is what role he’ll be placed in.
The crib
@@coreyskeins3289 clippers-it’s always a market.
Just signed to the Clippers it’s always a market. We really didn’t lose much though.
@@at24mac39 he signed to the clippers, the only way he’s starting is if PG doesn’t resign and even if he doesn’t him starting is still questionable. Just bc he signed to the clippers doesn’t means there was a market for him smh. A market is what KCP, Klay, and PG have/had
Let’s go Mavs!!!!
Klay would be a 20 minute man only playing when either Luka or Kyrie are off the court.
KCP from Denver is still the best target for us.
Isn’t Grimes basically a replacement for Green? If so, Green is as good as traded!
Grimes is almost a replacement for DJJ. His defense is much more impactful that Josh’s but the knee injury does hamper his best skill. Quick feet and lateral quickness
If this doesn’t interfere w getting DJJ signed then go after Clay. I’m sure Nico can distinguish if his heart remains in GS. Some guys don’t do well after being w one team so long then having to reset elsewhere.
Mavs need 3pt shooter, so Klay as SF. Watch Luka's games for Slovenia. He has average players around him for the national team, but those players hit 3s way more than this Mavs final team. Klay would be a perfect piece of roster for potential champions team.
I have no problems with keeping Jones around although I think he’s gonna be overpaid. That said, isn’t that why they got Grimes? He’s a great on-ball defender against guards or small forwards. He also has a better jumpshot than Jones does, although it remains to be seen if he can score consistently in a team with values his contributions.
Agreed, Jones had a good year for him but how much of that is because he was playing with Luka and Kyrie. If he goes to any other team his play is probably going to revert to the mean ( might with Mavs too)
No the mavs got grimes to move off Josh green not DJJ
@@montaydobbins9341 that wasn’t my point. They got Grimes because he’s also a defensive player who can hit some three-point shots. If you pick up a 17 PPG shooting guard, who could also play some small forward, then you reduce the need for Jones which is fine because his spot can be filled by Grimes. Like I said, I have no problem keeping Jones as long as they don’t have to overpay for him. I had to suffer through the finals watching him brick wide open shot after wide-open shot and there’s no question he doesn’t deserve the kind of money he’s evidently looking for.
@@mattclark6482 and the scary part is, his good year was 9 PPG in the finals. It’s a luxury to have an excellent defensive player but when three of you starting five can’t score, it’s a luxury you can’t afford
@SDesWriter Ur right for the most part. Grimes takes pressure away from signing Jones which makes Klay possible but he did have knee issues last year so I imagine his health factors into this as well.
What's the difference from Klay to Timmy. Both are streaky with the 3 and no defense.
Did the Mavs pull the trigger on the THJ/Grimes trade too soon? They could have used that salary to sign-n-trade for Klay or Markkanen. Then wouldn't have to risk losing contributing players like Green and Kleiber like they do now.
Nah, they got a solid 3 and D return with Grimes and cut almost $13 mil of cap space with THJs dead contract which allows them to re-sign DJJ if they choose to. I don’t even know that Klay is thattt much better than Grimes for 5x or 6x more money. Also, contributing players like Kleber? Lol, they want to dump Kleber, he can’t shoot anymore and injuries have made him not the clamp defender he used to be. Hes bordering on being out of the rotation but his size keeps him in there for now.
@@invisobill2125I agreed with this and your breakdown is detailed. The Grimes pickup looks better and better everyday
we have a 16 mill trade exception now. once it's finalized, klay is a maverick. he's already following all our guys on ig.
Harrison just who the hell is lay-up line maxi guarding lol he can't even score lol
thats the problem is no one wants maxi 😂
Mavs should make 2 pick ups, but I can see them only picking up one person today but let’s see!
P if it means losing DJJ. Sign only if for the right price via sign and trade, P as things now stand
am i missing something? no disrespect but why do we want Klay? Wasnt he a non factor for the Warriors in the play in, ppl saying hes washed? Or was that just casual fans chirping?
Hard P
Lakers Dallas Denver is the landing spot of klay this team really need shooter that can space the floor
Will Derrick Jones Jr. be a Maverick next season? Type 'Y' for Yes or 'N' for No
Y) I'm hoping the Mavs keep him
I fear Klutch/LeBron is going to steer him to the Lakers. Grimes is a good DJJ replacement!!!
Y

Chris Paul would be a great fit for the role off the bench. Don’t need him to play all season. Just the playoffs, and he is going to sign for cheap and for a title contender. Why not us
S
I disagree
Klay would be great as a starter
If D is a concerns Klay is better than Luka maybe not better than DJJ but with grimes in the rotation and someone else Nico might find to rotate I think we’re good
We need a catch an shoot person for Luka and Ky
Id maybe play him 30 mins a game
But I’m with you on the $
Also if you think rotations, yes Kidd needs to work on, if he has grimes and another defensive minded person coming off the bench to rotate and the 2/3 it’s better than what we have
We PU scoring, and space out D, give teams different looks. We saw that with the Celtics and we should model ourselves after that
I love DJJ but man a 3 for 1 type of deal I’d take. Meaning PU shooting, and add a couple defensive players off the bench
Jeremy Grant, KcP.
Not that it matters since Dallas has never beat LA with FA’s but you guys are way off on Klay’s defense. Have you actually watched him play outside of Dallas games? His defense against anyone but shifty guards is still way above average. He’s still an insanely smart athlete that at has just lost some lateral quickness. In GS Wiggins and Kominga took the best wing player and Klay had to guard other guards when playing with Steph. Things looked 10x better when he played with Payton on the bench unit. So while I agree it’s better if we keep DJJ with him that isn’t the end all be all of this move. Also, Josh Green’s defense doesn’t factor into any formula since he’s mostly a negative there outside of hustle rebounds (his energy on offense and ball movement would suck to lose though)
We funnel players to our bigs as it is so if the point of attack defenders are Klay, Grimes and Exum having PJ Lively and Gaff as the last line makes it become much less of an issue. That’s a way above average defense with a much improved offense.
I think KCP is a better fit because he gives you some offense along with better defense. That said, Thompson is the homerun swing because if he gives you 17 PPG like he had last year or maybe even scores a bit more if the Mavericks have him sometimes trying to score in the mid range where he’s going to be a lot more effective. If that happens the Maverick level of defense is perfectly fine for the offense they’re going to have. They can be anyone with that lineup and if Thompson is having a terrible shooting night you can bring in Grimes or to give you a few shots and play some hard-nosed defense.
Klay is on the decline and he's not getting any younger.
Not to mention that he comes very expensive and if he gets injured, we have wasted what is left of his dwindling prime that was left.
I would take Paul George instead. PG13 is definitely a monster on both ends of the floor. Something that Klay is lacking as of late.
This is silly y’all are acting like Jones Jr is a lock down defender. This is the first year he’s done anything !
Not really true. This is his first time playing in this role.
He’s a good and at times great individual and team defender but not some defensive Amadeus that we can’t live without. Definitely significantly better than Klay defensively though.
@@at24mac39 he’s 27. Last year will be the best he will ever be.
@invisobill2125 I agree, he had a really good three week stretch to finish the season but for most of this season he kinda just slogged through the motions on defense. He was a positive for sure but it wasn’t the super crazy impact he had for those three weeks.
@@horrorfreak5047 I’m pulling for Omax .

I think Q grimes defense will help if we can land clay and lose DJJ
No I don't think so they have the other derrick who is a tad bit more lively lol
I would take old man klay in a heartbeat. Dallas has been dying for someone who can sit on the three-point line and make shots. That’s all we need to do and he does it very well.
The mavs are a pitch team to get more money from other teams. Been like that for years. We have to trade inorder to get good players to come to Dallas. By force. I would be shocked if he came here. Lakers are still not a top 5 team if Klay goes there
Klay is from LA, I'm guessing he signs with the Lakers, he's a very Laker-esque person to sign.
Did we just get grimes via trade for thj? Doesn't he play the same postion as DJJ and Klay? Sounds like a logjam
Not really he would come off the bench as a 2 and not a 3 if we sign Klay
What about free agent Mo Wagner or Goga Bitadze? Replacement for Maxi.
The Mavericks should sign Goga Bitadze. But where does he fit? You already have Gafford & Lively. Unless you want to trade one of them probably Gafford then you can sign him. The Mavericks should look to sign Vit Krejci who is a 6-8 point guard that can fit the guard lineup Kidd likes to deploy on defense he can probably guard 1 through 3. The Mavericks should look to sign Svi Myhailiuk a 6-7 wing player who can defend & can shoot 3's at 40% or better. Just ask his teammate PJ Washington 2 years when they both destroyed the Mavericks in back to back games in the regular season. He even guarded Luka a lot of time.
The Mavericks should look to sign Ryan Arcidiacono a smaller guard but a lot younger but has the defensive tenacity of Barea and Beverly. He his 3 point shooting is better than Beverly. The Mavericks should look to sign Simone Fonteccio for his 3 point shooting. They should look to sign Caleb Martin a 3 & D wing player if they miss out on DJJ.
The “I hate josh green” fan club is back.
How about just Maxi for Klay?
P Pass on Klay he another player we’d have to hide on defense and he was crying about coming off the bench in Golden State I doubt he a 6 man in Dallas. I’m still pissed we played Maxi over the Morris twin in the finals. Morris twin tougher more mobile and had more team morale from the looks of it. #MFFL
76ers
Ill trade klay for Grafford and another.
Go get JT Thor

When will this team learn. We don’t need him we need so many other guys. We could have tried to sign Drummond for 2 years 10 million ( 5 per year) that’s a huge upgrade for us off the bench. Jones isn’t worth $12m a season. Let him walk and he’ll be right back at a huge discount. Only the worst teams can afford that. We need to get a solid PG for the bench and SF. All of that money just going to Klay is stupidity
We Are Not Going To Kiss No Ones AS$ To Come Or Stay Here .... MFFL
DJJ is more important than Klay. We need more defense than offence. We need a dunker, a lob threat than a worn out shooter.
Exactly 👍
I respectfully disagree: I could see LuKai rejuvenate his career. Any opponent would have to pick their when guarding us. Just my $.02

The Lakers always seem to beat us on the FA market, and I'd rather have DJJ.
I like our Team!
Millionaires would much rather live in the hills of LA than Dallas, can’t blame them
I like DJJ as well, but we all know we don’t have quite enough if we just simply run it back!
Klay will build houses in Dallas with bricks
his defense sucks
No for Klay
We do not need Klay Thompson because he is going into decline at age 34 and he isnt the same defender like he used to be back in his days with Golden State.
Sign him!!!
@@Aggie4life77 no no no do you not realized what you're saying??? This is not the same player like he was back with Golden State. He is injury prone and he doesn't have the same type of defensive level that he used to have back then.
@@daniel.Rangers2023 he hasn’t been injured in the last two years and we are not looking for splash brother Klay! We already have our core dude! He is icing on the cake and to be honest, I think he will be rejuvenated with new team! The only thing I don’t like is the 3 years, but you have to take calculated risk sometime!
@@Aggie4life77 I'm predicting that one of the LA teams will land Klay and they have the better packages that the Warriors want than the Mavericks package. Once that happens, then the Mavs will be going after Jerami Grant from the Blazers and going all in on keep DJJ.
The nba script will probably send him to the lakers so Lebron can have another superteam and be relevant lol.
Pass

Mavs hiring Isiah Hartenstein’s Dad as a cook. It appears that’s enough for him to agree to sign the vet minimum with the Mavs. So he can be close to his dad I guess.
@glennvastine5713 A lot of Mavericks fans on this channel and in general don't want Euros on this team. I have said every free agency, every trade deadline for the Mavericks to get him. Nico obviously doesn't like him. Think about they drafted Lively, passed on Hartenstein to trade for Washington and Gafford. Realistically where would Hartenstein play? You would need to move players & salary. Hartenstein would not take the veteran minimum to sign here. He could do that with the Knicks. I will say this get albut bunch of jerks with their stupid comments will say something about this. He is & always should have been a starter. His athleticism he can shoot 3's probably better than Lively probably will be. He has a natural shooting stroke. Go look at his time with the Clippers. At this point it's a pipedream that Nico & the Mavericks sign to the money he wants.
@@bjmusic1984 we’d sign him and trade Gafford for Klay. Just kidding Gafford is better than Hartenstein lol…..

I fear the league/klutch sports and LeBron is going to make Klay and DJJ go to the Lakers rather than the Mavs.
I would prefer to trade for Cam Johnson.. he’s younger and a better defender than Klay at this point in there career
@@victorpaul5151🎯 I agree Klay is a cone on d and if he starts, him Luka and Ky all are liabilities on D
@SinaSoh Idc about Klay, but if DJJ goes to the Lakers rip his career. The last two Mavs who played some of their best ball and went to the Lakers completely stink there. (Wood and Spencer)
@@victorpaul5151 cam Johnson is always hurt and not that good of a defender like DJJ. We need a third scorer and shooter like klay
