MavsBoard Weekly Roundup: Mavs Fans Go Wild for Presti, Tanking, and Three-Pointers

Next GM Watch

The search for the next Mavericks GM is heating up, and fans are excitedly weighing in on potential candidates. F Gump kicked off the discussion by pointing out that the Dallas Morning News is now on the same page as him regarding the team’s needs:

“For those who have wanted to laugh at my idea of Presti as the new guy in charge, the DMN is jumping on my bandwagon. They didn’t mention Presti alone, but he was the 2nd name on their short list. And their article takes the very same approach I believe in - ending with the same type of people in mind - that the Mavs need an EXPERT, they have an owner with incredibly deep pockets, and he needs to hire the best. PERIOD.”

Cow was quick to poke fun at F Gump, jokingly asking if he meant “our idea.” Meanwhile, Chicagojk thinks the Mavs might be heading in a different direction:

“Man, Dallas will need to move fast when the season ends. I just get the feeling that Ricardi and Finley will stay in similar roles, and the new guy brought in is the President of operations role and not a true GM. Ricardi and Finley will report to him. Some teams have set up like this.”

AROUND the NBA:

The rest of the league is buzzing with excitement, and Mavs fans are keeping tabs on their competitors. HoosierDaddyKid shared some impressive stats from around the league:

“LBJ becomes the first non-point guard to reach 12,000 assists.”

“Jaylen Brown is on track to finish 5th in MVP voting.”

“The first game in NBA history that 3 different players had a triple-double in the same game.”

MAVS NEWS:

As the season winds down, Mavs fans are focusing on the team’s performances and potential changes. Chicagojk highlighted Max’s impressive three-point shooting:

“Per Locked On Mavs, Max averages 7 threes attempts per game. If he does that the next two games, he needs to make at least 6 out of 14 to finish the year over 40% from three. He is currently exactly at 40% for the season.”
