Summary

The Clippers handle the Mavs in Dallas for a second time, this time without Paul George. We discuss the impact of the Dwight Powell injury, Luka vs Kawhi, Kristaps Porzingis’ return, and how the Mavs ran one play for 6 consecutive minutes. Then the Atlantic Division trade possibilities, including Boston’s chances of upgrading at center or backup wing, Philly’s look for another ballhandler or rotation player, whether Toronto will stand pat with their vets, what the Knicks can get for expiring contracts like Marcus Morris, and whether the Nets will try to find some more athleticism at the deadline.

0:00.0	So we decided to catch up on a one game night before we get into talking about the Atlantic
0:06.4	Division at the trade deadline and this game overshadowed a 110107 Clippers victory overshadowed
0:15.0	by the loss for the season in all likelihood as it stands tonight of Dwight Paul for the
0:21.8	Mavericks.
0:22.8	Good for him that he was able to get paid before this happened.
0:26.5	I'm glad to see that and while we've been kind of up and down on Paul's value here, it's
0:33.4	clear that he does provide a lot of value to the Mavericks.

0:46.4	into the playoffs, they're going to need another big that Carlisle feels comfortable relying
0:51.5	on outside of Porzingus and Cleba because I think Mariana Vitch, his limitations were
0:57.2	shown again in this game, even though he did the best that he could.
1:01.0	So I think they're going to be in the trade market for a dive man in the picking role.

1:13.2	some real time.
1:14.2	And so at my first thought was, well, they need somebody for this year, but it can be
1:17.9	more of a rental, but the truth is they might want to assume that this person, if they
1:22.4	could get somebody who fits this bill and it's not a requirement, that could be a significant
1:26.2	part of the Mavericks next year.
1:28.1	And Paul, it's going to be hard to replicate exactly what he does.
