But what you are about to read is the best way to mesh Mavs free agency with the Mavs' draft. It's using No. 13 as an 'asset' rather than seeing it as a 'hindrance.' And it's about to be among the optimal plans inside Mavs HQ: http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1290707.html 2 Mike Fisher http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1290707.html Fri, 24 May 2013 13:51:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks We now know who picks where - including Dallas at the expected No. 13 spot in June's NBA Draft.

In fact, under a variety of circumstances, they should not even do so. It seems somebody in Dallas is putting the cart before the horse here – and is poised to be guilty of a crime in ‘Asset Management.’ We dissect in Donuts: http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1290706.html 2 Mike Fisher http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1290706.html Wed, 22 May 2013 14:51:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks Mavs GM Donnie Nelson wore his lucky clothes (his Game 6 outfit from the 2011 NBA Finals) to Tuesday's NBA Draft Lottery. But Dallas didn't luck out, landing in the odds-on No. 13 spot for the upcoming draft. Some notes, tidbits, links and names - including a Chad Ford report that has the Mavs trading the pick in order to make FA room: http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289434.html 2 Mike Fisher http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289434.html Wed, 22 May 2013 03:00:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks We have told you of the Mavs' prioritizing of Chris Paul in free agency. Advanced stats tell you that CP3 has in his two LA years led the Clippers to '% AST numbers' of 56.8 and 62.0. In this Mavnalysis, we put both of those facts together to explain why Dallas' summer goal will focus on ways to assist Dirk on baskets - and to assist Dirk into becoming a second option. http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289437.html 2 Kevin Brolan http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289437.html Tue, 21 May 2013 11:00:00 GMT 1 268 Dallas mavericks Monday Morning Mavs Donuts, in which we play Poker with Dirk, Cuban, CP3 and Tiger, root for the salary cap's roof to be blown off, ponder a completely new offensive philosophy for Dallas, and generally give you all the Mavs news worth reading in one Donut'y click! http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1290708.html 2 Mike Fisher http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1290708.html Mon, 20 May 2013 11:51:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks So Mark Cuban, Chris Paul and Tiger Woods walk into a bar ... It sounds like the beginning of a joke in need of a punchline. But in fact, it's the rich and famous gathering for a weekend in Las Vegas to benefit The Tiger Woods Foundation. This was 'Poker Night,' a $10,000 buy-in tournament. But for Cuban (and Paul), the stakes are, of course, higher. http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289436.html 2 Mike Fisher http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289436.html Sat, 18 May 2013 15:00:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks The 'outsized outrage' in shootdown attempts of stories ...

With that spirit, I read ESPN’s article entitled ‘Dwight Howard sign-and-trade makes no sense for Lakers.’ It’s been speculated that the article is intended as a ‘shootdown’ of the DB.com David Lord exclusive on Dallas’ free-agency roadmaps. So … has the 'community' closed down the ideas? http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289438.html 2 Mike Fisher http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289438.html Tue, 14 May 2013 20:00:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks Where does this Josh Smith-to-Mavs buzz come from? ...

(Just no Hefty Bags, OK?) http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289439.html 2 Mike Fisher http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289439.html Mon, 13 May 2013 23:00:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks I've been on both sides. First I was a DB.com reader, basking in the possibilities that came with this site's offerings related to what my Mavs could acquire - and sometimes wailing because Fish and D-Lord had discovered a gem unrealized. Now? I'm sneaking peeks at Fish/D-Lord notes. I'm a Mavs writer and a Mavs fan. And I'm in charge of 'The Thinking Man’s Guide To The Mavs' Pipedream': http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289440.html 2 Chuck Perry http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289440.html Wed, 08 May 2013 12:00:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks We like the idea of D12 or CP3 signing with Dallas, but what if Dallas wants both? We take our numbers, some Mavs’ thinking, and stir-and-serve to offer an exclusive look at what works (and what doesn’t), direct routes and complex ones, and the smallest cap it takes to land both players in Dallas. It can be done (at max-money levels, too). Step inside as we outline the possibilities. http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289429.html 2 David Lord http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1289429.html Tue, 07 May 2013 10:00:00 GMT 1 268 Dallas mavericks A working thesis: The Mavs' No. 1 free-agency target this summer is Chris Paul. Besides moving Heaven and Earth to bring the stellar point guard to Dallas, what financial moves would the Mavs need to make in order to clear the room for a max contract?

The media is scurrying; they want a story. Bill Simmons (an LAC fan/media leader) is having a conniption. Another Paul trade is ‘vetoed’ and is ‘dead,’ writes an army of scribes when whispered to by an army of sources.
