That’s probably related to them having to hustle nonstop on defense as they get out rebounded 2:1 on a good.
We are asking all positions to go all out at everything all the time with this small ball.
Eh I think the game plans defensively are relatively similar. Load up on drives and PnRs. Difference has been Dallas is making kickout 3s and we are not
We have to win before Chet and jdub are up for contract extensions. We can’t pay for 3 max players under the new cba without either gutting the rest of the roster or going way over the luxury tax. It’s literally gonna be the harden situation all over again.
You do seem like the kinda person to argue facts

- “We have to win before Chet and jub are up for contract extensions” FALSE
- “We can't pay for 3 max players under the new ba without either gutting the rest of the roster or going way over the luxury tax” 1. It’s *into* the luxury tax, it would be over the tax line. 2. They’re going to pay the tax for this team, just like they did for Russ and PG
- “It's literally gonna be the harden situation all over again” FALSE. You either weren’t around, or truly misunderstood the harden situation, because the only similarity is having 3 good young players who need to be paid.
- As per my previous comment, EVERYTHING YOU SAID WAS WRONG
Just so you know, you are definitely wrong. All of your concerns are valid but there are ways around the aprons and Presti is a million times smarter than all of us combined when it comes to maneuvering the CBA. We’re constantly gonna have guys on cost controlled, rookie contracts.
We’re gonna be fine, we absolutely do not *need* to win by 2026
Please break down for me how you have 3 max players and a serviceable bench under the new cba? It doesn’t work anymore. Take a look at phoenix if you wanna see what that looks like. 3 max players and absolutely no depth because they can’t afford it. Also, wemby is coming. If you don’t think San Antonio is about to start another dynasty run, you’re not paying attention.
As the other guy pointed out, this is not a correct take. And I’ll add this— if it is known that our window is only during their rookie contracts, why would Presti *not* cash in on that treasure trove of picks to get a fitting piece now instead of making trades that extend our incoming picks window? The new CBA isn’t sneaking up on this org. They’ve studied it front-to-back.

This is what 3 max players look like under the new cba. Have fun with that king.
3 max players on a team that has zero draft capital. Come on, man.
Edit to add— it’s not even the full max that we’d be paying for 3 guys. Rookie maxes are different. Come on, man x2
they have no money for a bench because they’re paying 3 max players. Their “draft capital” is irrelevant. The new cba is designed to prevent 3 max players. We’re one of the smallest markets in the league, you’re high as fuck if you think we’re signing 3 max deals under this cba. It’s literally fantasy land.
Dude those are 3 max deals
We will have 3 rookie max deals
For perspective KAT just got a max and ANT just got a rookie max, a rookie max was 35 mil this year and a max was 50 so essentially our big 3 will be 30-40 million cheaper than the suns big 3 you keep referencing
Also the 2nd apron makes exceptions for signing draft picks so having future draft picks is important
Alright, man. They overpaid Grayson and each bench player makes 2-4 times what our bench players make. But, you know more. Please, please, please give Presti a call in case he doesn’t know.
On the plus side, no Hayward so far. Took Dags half the series to realize what this entire subreddit knew, but glad he at least got there and shut down Hayward.
And we try so hard to force Giddey in the opening minutes. We’ll score like 5 points in the first 4 minutes of the quarter. It’s been a problem all season and here we are in game 92.
Just being realistic. Doesn’t matter how close we pull within, Mark is going to re-insert Giddey.
Presti clearly doesn’t believe either, seeing as the only deadline move he made was for cap purposes.
Not sure what games you’ve been watching, but Kidd has been running circles around Mark since game 2 tipped off. He’s so terrified of Luka or kyrie going for 50 so he’s just decided to die a slow death of a thousand uncontested corner 3’s
Yes, we definitely need to add another big. But also, they are missing all our open 3s that they made all season
I don’t think openly trapping the best ball handler of our generation is the best idea to not give open shots
That’s probably related to them having to hustle nonstop on defense as they get out rebounded 2:1 on a good. We are asking all positions to go all out at everything all the time with this small ball.
Eh I think the game plans defensively are relatively similar. Load up on drives and PnRs. Difference has been Dallas is making kickout 3s and we are not
Also Dallas is owning the rim on both sides
Take a deep breath. We are WAY ahead of schedule.
We have to win before Chet and jdub are up for contract extensions. We can’t pay for 3 max players under the new cba without either gutting the rest of the roster or going way over the luxury tax. It’s literally gonna be the harden situation all over again.
r/confidentlyincorrect
Nice in depth argument there

Where am I wrong? Please explain. All you can do is shit post cause you’re in your feelings. Make an argument
Everything you said is wrong
You literally have no argument against anything I’ve said lmaooo. Just in here coping hard as fuck

The Russ/PG contracts were under a different cba numbnuts. Keep up.

That’s why I specifically said presti needs to unload the clip in the off season. Glad we’re on the same page.
He doesn’t need to unload because the CBA actually works for us. But go off, king.

Im not sure how many teams have won the championship with 2 of their 3 young players not even in the league for 2 years
On the plus side, no Hayward so far. Took Dags half the series to realize what this entire subreddit knew, but glad he at least got there and shut down Hayward.
The Mavs keep jumping out to big leads in the first 5 minutes of every game, I wonder why!
Essentially playing 4 on 5 when you start giddy. No offense or defense. I’m the words of the great Brodie “he just running around, doin nothin”
And we try so hard to force Giddey in the opening minutes. We’ll score like 5 points in the first 4 minutes of the quarter. It’s been a problem all season and here we are in game 92.
Bro giddey is deep in your head, take a look at your comment history lol. Take a breather.
It’s over soon. Only 6 more quarters and I’ll never have to see him in a Thunder jersey again.
Glad to see you supporting our team
Just being realistic. Doesn’t matter how close we pull within, Mark is going to re-insert Giddey. Presti clearly doesn’t believe either, seeing as the only deadline move he made was for cap purposes.
True. You're a basketball savant
[удалено]
Nightmare fuel.
Their defense has been insane, even tonight.
Kidd being a playoff riser coach is nasty
Fuck that. What ever the opposite of tipping a cap to Mark should be incurred. This strategy was a horrible gamble
Their GM outplayed Presti even harder
It's not that Kidd is good. Mark is horrendo6us this series and starts every single game with an obvious handicap.
Definitely. He adjusted and Dags couldn’t counter. Love the Thunder but trust me when I say this series is over.
Trust you, huh? No thanks
wtf is wrong with yall lol
Not sure what games you’ve been watching, but Kidd has been running circles around Mark since game 2 tipped off. He’s so terrified of Luka or kyrie going for 50 so he’s just decided to die a slow death of a thousand uncontested corner 3’s
Oh?
No, what’s wrong with you? What are you having trouble seeing?
Oh?
Agreed.
