A local radio show just interviewed Moses Moody, who is turning 20 next week. Moody totally forgot about his birthday. The Warriors seem very locked in right now.

Don't even go there dude... beyond the fact he's dead is the fact that the Mavs spent 10 years in hell from hitching themselves to the Roy Tarpley wagon.
I remember a playoff game against the Lakers where he had 21 points and 19 rebounds. That was what he could do when he wasn't doing cocaine.

You know who would be a good center for them? Kevon Looney. He's a free agent at the end of the year. He might be playing himself out of a contract with the Warriors. Love to see it. He would deserve a cash out.

Sucks for us, but you definitely have to be happy for the guy. I wonder about GP2, too. I figure that some team out there would be willing to offer him more than the minimum. Otto Porter will probably be gone, too.

Any reason given why he has taken all the minutes that were for Lee?

If Wiseman ever pans out they won't keep Looney. I love the way Looney works though.

I would expect Looney and GP2 to be guys who seek the highest bidder. It's their first chances to get real decent money in this league. Otto has made significant money already in his career, so just depends on his path. But also I think he'd be looking for a pay raise as well.

All 3 are potentially gone after this year.

I didn't realize that Otto is only 28 years old. I think he would definitely be looking for as big of a contract as he can. Young enough to demand good money, but old enough that this might be his last chance at good money.

Lee has sucked. It's really as simple as that, I think. Also, giving playoff minutes to Lee to develop him is useless. Lee is likely as good as he'll ever be. Meanwhile, giving playoff minutes to Moody, a 19 year old first round draft pick, could prove invaluable to him and this team's future.

The cost savings that Wiseman could potentially give the Warriors while other players are coming due for new contracts might be the reason they haven't traded him. Wiseman may very well be the only center this team can afford for the foreseeable future. Looney deserves that bag, and we probably can't afford to give it to him.

Yeah, it would be interesting. If he did a standard 4 years he's be 32 and still young enough for a big payday if he continues to improve and stays healthy. But it's also the age where teams start questioning if they want to do a long term deal.

Game 7 of the 88 WCF… I don’t know a single Mavs fan who didn’t watch that game and think to themselves that the future held a championship in short order. Within a year…

Poof. The Dark Days had arrived. It was tough being a Mavs fan for 10 years or so…

Maybe they can be the first team with a 10 man starting lineup
LOL.

My guess is over the next 2-3 years they package picks to move up.....or even trade for players. Or both.

They have a lot of options with all those picks.

They are over salary cap and need to pay Brunson.

He could sign another 1 year deal and then get a contract next summer.

A 100 mil wrapped up in Bertans, Hardaway, Dinwiddie, Powell, Bullock, Kleber and Finney Smith.

Hard to talk shit I guess since they made the WCF finals but that group would seem hard pressed to improve on this year.
