Very good way of saying it honestly!

Oh big time! Those aren’t moveable 1sts though right? I could just look this up but eh. 😂

@@_AVC_ the two firsts are moveable, and they have other swaps they could love too but they’re not very valuable so I didn’t list them. One of the firsts just became tradable out in 2030-31 because of the draft ending. Also you can’t put pizza the hut lol

@@coltondodd3086 Lol in all fairness I haven’t had the hut in a minute 😂. I did look up the picks just cuz I was curious and they can only trade the 25 pick. Can’t trade picks in consecutive seasons.

Right on. I went to TWHS about a decade prior to y'all being at College Park. I'm a mavs fan, too. So it was fun seeing that he was traded to us. I agree with the rest of your comment. Who are you hoping the mavs trade for?

@@_AVC_ ah ok thanks for the facts

Yeah it’s not a major move for either team in terms of the players exchanged but I think it was solid for both.

Yeah that all sounds pretty legit to me!

Yeeeeah in theory it should work but who the hell knows haha!

Stooooooop

Your comments make my brain work too much 😂😂

We leave no stones unturned here 😂

Whelp now they got Tobias as well!

@@_AVC_ Finally. I knew it would happen, it was more about how much. Kinda more than I expected, but good pick up. Another shooter, big and PG then we're good. Tek will resign too

@@DeVonAmbitious Yeah the price doesn’t matter right now and it’s just two years. Just need solid players on the team.

Oh no no no. I can’t stand for this 😂

So I just went and did a bit of research because your comment made me pretty curious so thank you for bringing it up. Essentially I wanted to test the claim to see if we were ever getting THJ into any sort of rhythm through set offense. So the Mavs were the 100% percentile for isolation plays, meaning they do it the most (a little over 10% of the time). I then went and totaled up all the possessions where it’s ball handler dominated to eliminate THJ from those possible plays because as we know 3-4 guys at most handle the ball on this team. We get to about 84% of their offense. Plays where he could be used in a movement/action so think handoffs/off ball screens/etc. came up to 8% 😅. I compared that to his shot charts, he shoots over 40% from 3 when we combine all moving/fadeaway catch and shoot opportunities (22% of his attempts this year. So the rest are just wait and shoot. My conclusion, yeah nah you gotta run some sets for him 😅. Seriously though thanks for inspiring me to dive into it! Does my “study” change your perception?

@_AVC_ Yes and No lol. I watch the Mavs, and I agree that Thj doesn't get the ball much and doesn't get that many sets made for him because Thj is honestly a low IQ player and really took his own shots away from himself. Some of us fans realized that Thj is better running around screens and etc, catch and shoot player, not just stand there and wait, but the problem is that he tends to make knuckle head decisions that result in a more difficult shot attempt or a turnover, he's always trying to do extra stuff when he should realize he's doesn't possess the talent/skill to pull such moves. He was money when he catch and shoot or pumped faked and 1 dribble into a middy, but annoyingly tried to do more like some crazy crossover or make a pass he isn't capable of doing, with the bad defense, he was rightfully benched and received less touches. So a lot of it was self-inflicted, and to be fair, head coach Kidd isn't that great scheming offense, so it's like 70/30, 30% fault on coaching decisions, and 70% on Thj for self inflicted

@@Frank-hv7xj Really got me working OT today haha! This one was pretty easy though. TO% is the stat we look at to balance opportunities to have a TO and actual turnovers. League average is 12.1% (interesting note, that number keeps dropping in the NBA and I wouldn’t have guessed that). THJ is at 6.2%. So maybe his TOs are extra gross or something but they aren’t happening at a high rate at all. Sometimes a couple ugly plays form our opinions though, and that’s why we have nerds like me 😂. So… did I change ya mind now?

@_AVC_ this one, yes. Because I more often got annoyed when Thj turned the ball over in crucial moments that sometimes cost the team wins. Probably those few TOs put Thj not just myself but fans on their very bad list. We probably do overreact, but still, I don't believe Thj is that good, as you may believe. still solid, but more to below average player

@@Frank-hv7xj Oh yeah I don’t think he is elite. I just think he’s a good role player. That role is hitting shots. In my time coaching I’ve seen so many guys like him that it bothers me how much people misuse certain archetypes.

Sorry to hear my friend 😅

Okay let’s rephrase a bit. We know he isn’t a terrible player. That’s just untrue. Honestly I don’t mind the move. It’s not like a straight away win but I think it helps them out this year if used correctly.

@@_AVC_ He is an inneficient high volume scorer that plays terrible defense. I consider him a bad player. Detroit need to put guys around Cade that can defend and hit their shots at an above league average percentage. Quentin Grimes archetype is exactly what you want around Cade, THJr is the opposite imo.

@@vegecs Let’s again take a step back and be good faith people haha. We can be better than the rest of the internet. We can’t call a career 14ppg NBA player bad 😂. Let’s ask why has he been inefficient at time. I even talk about it in the vid 👀
