    They added Klay Naji & Grimes. All amazing 3poimt shooters and defenders even though klay has slightly digressed but still great roster and one of the deepest bench ITL. Also spence, great ball handler and can create shots and clutch and was a huge part of that 2022 WCF run. Also a 7’5 defensive stopper. They were just a few pieces away from beating Boston and I think they’ll be able to this time with hopefully a HEALTHY Luka and Kyrie getting over the hump. Whoever they met, I think they will beat. They should be the favorites, no doubt💯💯

    They gotta use Luka like Lebron; put pressure on the rim at all times. I think Gafford is the man out if they want to use Klay correctly. They gotta need a stretch big like Kleber to be effective. The biggest issue for Dallas is team shot creation, and player needing their touches. Klay is going to be similar to Mike Miller or Kevin Love. Dallas has to mirror Cleveland 2016 or Heat 2012 for success

      Last proved they can play d but their offense got holes in it. Klay can guard the best wings, plus they added Quentin Grimes for that too. Naji Marshall too, hopefully not too much of dropoff without Derrick Jones. Mavs will be back in the mix next year.

It’s better to be a master at your role than juggling multiple responsibilities. The team set their course, you should now understand realistic expectations for each player. Playing defense and hitting 3 is Klay role. If Kyrie/Luka can keep a body on weaker links they win a championship it’s that easy

      biggest issue is not "team shot creation" - it's they have no shooters or defense. They got to the finals because they stepped up both but it was an anomaly - Derrick Jones is not somebody you rely on to knock down 3s. They stopped making open 3s in the finals

He breaks records every single year since he was a rookie but many of them still refuse to give him any credit at all.

      @@GodisReal44418 that's fine the biggest player player isn't always the best. Size matters bc rebounding and rim protection matter. Size is also important overall in matchups and I know we say Steph is Tiny but he's 6'3, He was the smallest on Team USA. Pay attention to how AD and Bam played during the entire Olympics. They were extremely important as was Embiid, Durant, and LeBron, all guys who are in real life 6'10 and up. Size will always matter.
      S/N there's only 1 Steph Curry.
      Mavs needed Size. As a team you always want to be versatile and be able to adapt when you need to. They needed Size vs the Celts and they paid for not having it . But they also need defense and shooting. So Klay solves at least 1 issue.

    First off, what is Gilbert even talking about? I'm glad Luka has Nico building his team and not this guy. Secondly, what do you think Dallas is doing? They're getting all the 6'5-8" wing players they can get their hands on. Grimes, Naji, Klay, Dinwiddie, Exum, PJ.
    I'm not even worried about Klay fitting in. Luka is the #1 3pt shot creator in the league. It's not even close with how many 3's Luka gets his teammates. And I don't think Klay really cares that much if he's getting his 3pt shots coming off of like 3 screens or if he's just spacing the court. Hell, at this point in his career I would imagine he'd kinda prefer to spacing the court and saving some of that energy for defense.

    i have a feeling at the end of the season klay might be coming of the bench not because he not playing well just because of fit he will come on for luka and they with change there offence to have more movement with kyre klay it would help them retain more of a threat on offence when luka is sitting and it help luka rest if he can just sit for 2-3 minutes a game

    People don’t realize that Klay isn’t making star player money. He’s making less than 20 million a year. Which means that if he’s stinking it up, they will bench him and he’ll likely play with the second unit. But if he balls out and isn’t even making 20 million a year, then they’ll have a great chance to win it all. Either way, it’s good for the Mavs. If he plays bad, they’ll decrease his role, he’s not getting paid much anyway. If he balls out, then you’re getting tremendous value out of his contract.

      He's making less than what THJ made last year. Why can't people understand that? And in case it all goes to shit, at that price they can find a trade no problem.
