  1. One of my greatest fears is we are good but not great with Klay in the starting 5 and we start games AND END GAMES better with Naji in the starting lineup. That might be a hard pill for Thompson to swallow. Both were identical in three point efficiency (38.7) and I would have to assume Marshall would be a better fit and more impactful player on the defensive end. Iā€™d prefer him on the court with Lively, PJ, Kyrie and Luka at the end of games and probably in the first six minutes of each half as well. I donā€™t think sixth man of the year potential holds much sway for a future hall of famer, even though Ginoboli made the Spurs unstoppable by deferring to Bowen and Kawhi in San Antonio.

  2. I believe people are forgetting that Gafford has entered his prime years of basketball. I like DLive but Gafford is about to get a full training camp with Luka and Kyrie. Both Daniel and Derrick are extremely important talented pieces for the Mavericks, but Gafford is a grown ass man with a grown ass man body right now. If DLive shoots the 3 at 36% early, then that will set him apart.

  3. He needs to go spend the summer with Jokic. No one has better post moves than Joker and he does it with almost no athletic ability. You can see how many moves Jokic stole from McHale (maybe the best ever) and that's EXACTLY what Lively needs. A mini-hook, an up-and-under, and a good pump fake with the ability to nail the 2-5' jumper. That will make him devastating for the Mavs, and we already know he has touch if he wants to go to the 3pt line and take a few corner shots.

  4. he needs to be in those chet and wemby convos for sure if he wasn't already. One of the biggest +/- in the playoffs out of anyone is a monumental feat as a rookie.
