Mavs holding their breath and their noses
« Reply #5985 on: May 23, 2019, 04:01:27 PM »
So Dallas gets a few surprises before KP ever plays a game for them.

There is the initial injury/rehab question that was always there but now there is also:

- KP embroiled in rape/extortion accusation

I'm not passing judgement on KP or the woman since i don't know what happened,  but this type of thing is not what you want to hear about as a fan.  Nobody comes out of this looking good regardless of who is telling the truth.

- KP f'd up his hand in a fight (showing poor judgement at the very least for time and place)

You can't tell a NBA player where to spend his offseason but I can imagine Cuban wanting something in KPs next contract about rehabbing injuries in Dallas and traveling with the team to limit the time KP spends getting into trouble around local gangs with jealousy axes to grind.

This might be nothing in the long run.  Or it might affect him and other teams may go at that hand.  Remains to be seen.  But not a welcome development from a Mavs perspective.

- KP supposedly not afraid to use the nuclear option

Might be a lie made up by Mills, but today we heard KP was ready to go back to Euroland.   Again, that would make me uneasy as a Mavs fan.  Even if it is just posturing on KP's part or an exaggeration on Mills'.

You keep repeating this phrase an immature Latvian tweeted as if his words have any weight behind it.  He says nothing there.  But you're using it as a shield to deflect any and all responsibility for KP's exit.


KP acted like an entitled primadonna.  What has he ever won to deserve that?  He was hurt and still making waves.  Guess he didn't like how Melo was treated and trading away Hernangomez.

I’m sure KP will stay out of trouble in Texas, especially in the Dallas area.

Does anyone know what the salary floor for teams is expected to be next year?

It depends on what they set for the salary cap.  The floor is 90% of the cap.

re KP: let's stay woke

"Shit was messed up, some dudes started coming at me ... they punched me and then I started punching them back, then things settled down for a bit, two of my guys got knocked out straight away, those dudes were from some local gang, than this guy threw a chair at me and hit me in the head and caught one my guys as well, bunch of chairs were thrown, then I caught one them and got him real good, fucked him and his face up then someone pushed me off of him and as I was getting up one of them got me pretty good in the head and that's why my head was bleeding a bit but otherwise I'm fine. I fucked up my hand a bit, but I'll be good."

Asshole.

Why was he anti-Knicks?  Pay attention.  Mills dissed his workouts, for one.  Implied that KP wasnt working hard enough.

KP threatened to go back to Europe - true.

You would rather have had us call his bluff?  That's fine.  I wanted him gone earlier - and we would have got more.  Just not a max guy.  And he'd have wanted it.

UCLA Freshman Moses Brown

Remember this name.  He has the tools (measurements) to be a big time shot blocker.

His combination of height (7'2") standing reach (9'5") and vertical jump (27") means the apex of his jump is nearly 12 feet high!

If we deal Mitchell i'd be OK draft his replacement with our 2nd pick #55

And he is from Queens!

All these self loathing Knicks fans asking why did KP want to leave???  What did the Knicks do wrong?  Umm...nothing?

Classic behavior for someone whose Girlfriend dumped him.  Forget that girl! She left because she doesn't value you.

You deserve better, Knicks fans.

Umm, that's total BS. 
What were we supposed to do with him injured?
What did Dallas do a year ago when they got the fifth pick?

We were trying to pair him with a Top 5 pick.   So that he would have some help.  We did well to move on when we did.
