Rick Carlisle on Mavs’ need for a big man: “July 1 is right around the corner, bro. We’ll address it. There will be options". YES give us Luka Doncic, well give you Whiteside.

Dude they want more ball handlers for Rick Carlisle’s offense and you just gave me a bunch of paragraphs that’s not a conversation, nor do I want to have one with you since you clearly do not understand basketball. 1. They want DeMarcus Cousins, and since the Pelicans only want to offer him a short term deal, the Mavs have the advantage with the money they can offer as well as the solid draft they just had. 2. If you are trying to win now you do not want an aging Whiteside. Dragic is solid but will never win you anything and Whiteside is not getting any better either, his decline is one of the oddest in sports and it’s sad because it’s his own fault. Nobody wants a guy who has zero work ethic man. 3. You need to understand the value of players before just throwing out proposals like that. Dragic isn’t worth a first round pick, and DSJ is, also he is young and has upside, and was a lottery pick in the previous draft. Barnes is solid and is clearly also valued higher than whiteside. Nobody wants his contract and the player he is right now is completely unappealing. Don’t call me a bitch just because you spew nonsense. This isn’t a conversation and if it is I’m not ignorant enough to have it with you any longer. You’re a bitch I’m just putting in their place
