Glad to put that series behind us.
Paul was incredible today, what an amazing performance, legendary stuff.
Defense has been pretty awful at times and Crowder has just been a liability at times.
I think we should be able to take care of Dallas though.

Phew.
As an aside, has anyone ever shown DA how to set a screen? I don't think I've ever seen a bigman set such weak, nothing picks. I know he's a pretty slim guy but jeez... do something more than stand there and hope the defender will just give up!

DA is the reason we won this series.
He could barely miss. I've been so impressed with how consistent his shooting has been.
Agree that he is a little reluctant to be overtly physical, his rebounding is also a bit timid and he got out bodied by JV far too many times this series. I am dreading facing Memphis and seeing what Adams and JJJ would do to him.

Oh he was great. The screens were just something that really stood out and I hadn't really noticed before.
I don’t rate the Mavs that high and was always confident in this series, but damn we clicked in that last quarter.
Hopefully it’s a sign we are getting back to our best.

Take one in Dallas and we should be ok.
CP3 at 36 = Point god
CP3 at 37= bum

What a disappointing way to end an historic season.
Something broke down toward the end of the year and we just looked scrappy heading into the playoffs and have looked absolutely average at times, but today has just been embarrassing.

There are a few tweets out there that Monty and DA clashed in the second half and DA refused to go back on the court.
I think his time in Phoenix is probably done.

Sorry to hear that dude. You’ll still have an awesome trip

Maxing a big who's afraid of physical contact is slightly risky.

He'll get a max somewhere, but I also believe that he will ask out and we will trade him. His value is high right now, so we should get some value. It will be interesting to see what comes out the other end, but I am pretty confident that he will end up traded.
The rumours are flying already! KD, Dame, Miles Turner & Chris Duarte

What? Are these rumours credible?

Brownlow Medallist
Damian Lillard?

Most of the rumours are circling around Dame and KD. But I don't want to go that far until something more concrete is in place.
The best thing is, whilst everyone was worried about our cap going forward and going into the luxury, we have a heap of expiring contracts that will be invaluable in any negotiation.

I think I am reading this right.
Qualifying offers:
Deandre Ayton, Aaron Holiday, Ish Wainwright
Expiring Deals:
Jae Crowder, Dario, Torrey Craig, Cam Johnson.
We have almost $30 Million in moveable contracts, plus an MLE and BAE. Even if we decided to move on from Cam Payne, that's almost $35 Million, excluding any extension to DA (the 16 Mil qualifying offer is pointless unless DA wants to take the power point on his FA and cop a $9 million hit for next season). If we pull the qualifying offers on Holiday and Ish, that's another $7 million.

Paying Crowder, Payne, Craig and Shamet a combined 30 million next season is be well and truly ****ed.
Well it's nice of him to let us know early that there's no plans of winning a title.
