I’d imagine the Westbrook buyout could have an impact on Miami’s ability to trade Lowry. Teams that could be interested, like the Clippers, have leverage in negotiations. “Well, if you don’t give us Lowry for what we want, we’ll just sign Russ.” – 8:20 PM

There’s even a buzz on the Mavs sideline, people watching Irving warm up. I asked a Mavs assist what the feeling is the organization. “Exciting,” he said. “There’s very few players who can do what he does.” pic.twitter.com/nsxPosEGJx – 8:09 PM

Looks like Kyrie Irving is in assistant Jared Dudley’s coaching “pod,” how Jason Kidd delegates individual player work among his staff.
Warming up at the same time as old Nets teammate Theo Pinson, the same pregame slot Spencer Dinwiddie used to occupy. pic.twitter.com/0JPoW6ba4e – 8:04 PM

Mavs are gonna create a bunch of space to try to get LeBron to come with Kyrie, then wonder why Luka wants out when they sign in LA.
Personally, find that far more likely than LeBron coming to Dallas. – 8:01 PM

Pregame routine is a science for NBA players, especially the elite ones like Nowitzki and Doncic and Curry and presumably Irving. He was telling Jared Dudley that there are certain movements he does “to see where my body is at.” pic.twitter.com/LBaKxoW2yd – 7:52 PM

The $1.8M salary of Tyrell Terry has been removed from the Dallas Mavericks team salary, league sources tell ESPN.
Dallas applied for a career ending injury exclusion for Terry and were approved by the NBA.
The Mavericks projected tax bill decreases from $60.4M to $53.7M. – 7:13 PM

Dallas made the first big splash of the offseason when they acquired Kyrie, but the jury is still out on whether or not his pairing with Luka will work out.
High-risk, high-reward, all-in approach.

Dallas won’t have Luka tonight. But on Monday the Clippers acknowledged that his combo w/ Kyrie makes the West tougher:
“They got to figure it out, of course, how to play and everything, but if they do, they got two hell of a players,” Ivica Zubac said.

Clippers coach Tyronn Lue has joined Miami’s Erik Spoelstra and Gonzaga’s Mark Few as assistants to Golden State’s Steve Kerr on Kerr’s USAB staff, @usabasketball says.
Lue replaces Phoenix’s Monty Williams, who withdrew due to family commitments.

After our first impression with Markieff Morris, I think it’s possible that Mavs fans might in time become OK with his twin brother Marcus. Possibly. Maybe.

D’Angelo Russell is an expiring contract, so the Lakers could be opening up cap space for Kyrie this summer.
Or they could bring D’Lo back because they retain his bird rights. – 4:03 PM

The ideal Russell Westbrook buyout destination would have…
– Great shooting to maximize his drives.
– A coach with the cache to get him to buy into a smaller role (10-15 mins).
– Deep defensive roster since he doesn’t really guard anyone.
To me, that sounds like the Clippers. – 4:02 PM
