2018-09-19[Editor’s Note: This is the fourth installment of our annual six part series of division previews. If you missed you the Pacific Division , the Northwest Division, or Southeast Division previews, click away on the links provided above.]
Dallas Mavericks
Additions: Ryan Broekhoff (free agent), Devin Harris (free agent), DeAndre Jordan (free agent), Ding Yanyuhang (free agent), Luka Doncic (drafted No. 3), Jalen Brunson (drafted No. 33), Ray Spalding (drafted No. 56), Kostas Antetokounmpo (drafted No. 60)
Subtractions: Kyle Collinsworth (waived), Seth Curry (Trail Blazers), Yogi Ferrell (Kings), Terry Larrier (waived), Doug McDermott (Pacers), Johnathan Motley (traded to the Clippers), Nerlens Noel (Thunder), Chinanu Onuaku (waived)
Outlook: The Dallas Mavericks had one of the splashier off-seasons in the NBA this year. They started things off hot when they were able to trade up to the number three pick in the draft and select the heralded Euro-Star, Luka Doncic. The Mavs followed that up with the signing of their previously pursued desired center, DeAndre Jordan. With the big man finally on the roster and the hopeful Doncic looking to take the league by storm, the Mavs suddenly have a reason to look past the ending of the Dirk era.
The Mavs now have a back court featuring Dennis Smith Jr., one of last year’s rookie standouts, and Doncic. They also feature Wesley Matthews, Harrison Barnes, and the aforementioned Jordan. Things are beginning to look up for Mark Cuban and the gang after several years of middling to bad teams in the twilight of Nowitzki’s career. Though the pride and joy of Dallas still remains on the roster, his role has been increasingly diminished as he has aged. Now, the Mavs have an opportunity to send Dirk off on a positive note, if not necessarily a particularly high one. The Western Conference is, after all, an utter blood bath, making it unlikely that the Mavs will snatch a playoff spot.
Nonetheless, I’m sure Dirk would prefer to go out while ushering in the next generation of Maverick’s basketball. He can now do so while grooming his possible Euro successor. Doncic will get the opportunity to learn from the best player to ever come out of Europe and it can only mean good things for his young career. And while CtB’s EG has taken on the role of resident contrarian when discussing the rookie PG’s future success, it seems pretty unanimous that his career will be long and prolific.
What success looks like: I’m sure the Mavs would love to make the playoffs. Truly, if they were in the East, they might actually have a shot. Unfortunately, Dallas will have to fight through Golden State, Houston, San Antonio, Utah, Portland, Denver, Minnesota, Oklahoma City, New Orleans and both LA teams. Seriously, the entire Northwest Division could make the playoffs. That’s a tall order and one I doubt comes to fruition. A far more likely version of success would be Luka Doncic winning rookie of the year and showing how foolish it was for Atlanta to trade down and for no other teams to make a pass at the young guy. This version of success leaves no doubt as to who the next face of Dallas’s franchise will be and the Mavs can continue to build around their new cornerstone.
Cavalier theft targets: The Mavs have a glut of point guards. With the additions of Doncic and Brunson, Dallas now features a roster of four point guards. And while J.J. Barea is of no interest, maybe Dallas will look to move one of Brunson or Dennis Smith Jr. upon finding out that Luka is the real deal. I’d love for the Cavs to pick up one of those two to provide some assurances in case Sexton doesn’t work out. Short of that, maybe the Cavs can look to grab Matthews’s expiring contract for a playoff push if the opportunity is right.
Preseason Grade: P. As in, it did not take any particularly Prescient front office to see that Luka Doncic has the Potential to be quite special. And while I don’t think that adding Jordan really does much for Dallas one way or the other, Doncic’s addition makes it a Possibility that the Mavs have a new cornerstone to build around.
Houston Rockets
Additions: Carmelo Anthony (free agent), Michael Carter-Williams (free agent), Marquese Chriss (trade with the Suns), James Ennis III (free agent), Brandon Knight (Suns), Vincent Edwards (drafted No. 52), Isaiah Hartenstein (drafted No. 43 in 2017)
Subtractions: Ryan Anderson (traded to the Suns), Trevor Ariza (traded to the Suns), Luc Mbah a Moute (Clippers), Aaron Jackson (waived), De’Antony Melton (traded to the Suns)
Outlook: Well, things just got a whole lot more entertaining in Houston. And while they Rockets might be more entertaining from the outside looking in, it seems unlikely they will actually be better. Anthony hasn’t looked like a piece that can make his team better since he played for the Denver Nuggets. His addition is like that of a new character being added to Days of Our Lives. Sure, things just got interesting, but does it really improve the quality of the show?
Yes, he will finally get to play with another member of the beloved Banana Boat Crew in buddy Chris Paul. Yes, Houston was able to resign breakout star Clint Capela. Yes, they were able to get out from under Ryan Anderson’s horrible contract. But they also lost some key pieces from last year’s team. Trevor Ariza and Luc Mbah a Moute were absolutely cornerstones to the success Houston saw. Both were rangy wing defenders who could hit the three at a decent clip. Those two allowed them to match up with Golden State defensively in a way only maybe Utah could match. The difference is that Houston’s offense was electric in a way the Jazz could never replicate.
Sure, Michael Carter-Williams is a good defender. But the guy just cannot shoot. In his five years as an NBA player, MCW has never shot better than 27% from three. For a team that relies on high-variance and three point makes, a player who can’t shoot but plays on the perimeter doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. It will be hard for Houston to match last season’s success, especially with CP3 a year older. I doubt even James “The Golden Turd” Harden will be able to lift this team to last year’s heights.
What success looks like: Anything short of the Western Conference Finals is failure. And truly, Houston’s got championship aspirations, I’m sure. However, short of a miracle, I don’t know if a single team in the NBA has anything near what the Dubs can put on the court. In my mind, if they are able to replicate last season’s success and avoid exploding on the launching pad, that has to be considered success this season considering no team with ‘Melo has looked better after adding him in quite some time. It didn’t work out in Denver, it didn’t work out in NYC, and it didn’t work out in OKC. What makes Houston think they’ll be any different?
Cavalier theft targets: I’m not really intrigued by any of Houston’s “get-able” players. Really, I would have loved giving MCW a look last season when we were in desperate need of perimeter defense. I could look past his inability to shoot if it meant finally having another competent defender at the guard position. This season, I don’t think he’s worth the effort. However, if the Cavs can unload some of their glut to take him off their hands, I’d strongly consider it. Maybe Houston wants to give JR a chance with his old buddy ‘Melo? After all, they might need a bit more shooting after dumping Anderson and losing Ariza and Mbah a Moute.
Preseason Grade: C because Daryl Morey must be Crazy if he thinks Anthony can still Contribute to a Championship.
Memphis Grizzlies
Additions: Kyle Anderson (free agent), Omri Casspi (free agent), Shelvin Mack (free agent), Garrett Temple (trade with the Kings), Jaren Jackson Jr. (drafted No. 4), Jevon Carter (drafted No. 32)
Subtractions: Deyonta Davis (traded to the Kings), Tyreke Evans (Pacers), Dakari Johnson (waived), Omari Johnson (waived), Jarell Martin (traded to the Magic), Ben McLemore (traded to the Kings)
Outlook: Not much has changed in the Grind City except maybe a few healthier players? Unfortunately, one of those players is Mike Conley, whom I’ve always loved but can never stay healthy. Conley is, in my opinion, one of the most underappreciated point guards in a guard heavy league. He’s just always managed to get hurt at the most inopportune times and does so pretty frequently. I suppose a healthy and happy Marc Gasol is still a formidable player but the 33 year old big man is no longer a spring chicken and it’s begun to show. Though he’s slowing down, the addition of his three point shooting the past two seasons could serve to prolong his career.
Ultimately, for the same reason the Mavericks will have trouble breaking into the playoff picture, so too will the Grizz. There is just too much competition out west and the likes of Omri Casspi, Kyle Anderson, Chandler Parsons, and Mario Chalmers just aren’t going to be enough. Jaren Jackson Jr. has some growing to do as an NBA player before he’s capable of carrying a heavy load for Memphis and they let Tyreke Evans, one of their surprising standouts from last season, walk for nothing.
What success looks like: Conley finally manages to stay healthy for a full season and without a playoff push, gets a nice long summer to continue that streak of good health. Gasol stays happy without Fizdale as his coach. Jaren Jackson Jr. progresses towards becoming the newest addition in a long line of successful Grizzly big men. If they are able to move one of their aging vets for more picks, that will be icing on the cake.
Cavalier theft targets: Maybe Andrew Harrison? The 23 year old guard is a long 6-6 and averaged 9.5 points and 3.2 assists last season while shooting 33% from three. Maybe if the Grizzlies need to get out from under some contracts, the Cavs can help them and take Harrison as payment. At this point, I’d rather give him a look than waste any more minutes on JR Smith.
Preseason Grade: D because it was pretty Doltish to let Evans walk for nothing when he had plenty of mid season suitors willing to part with a few assets. Maybe if they’d traded Evans they’d have been bad enough to jump into the top three and have a shot at Doncic.
New Orleans Pelicans
Additions: Garlon Green (free agent), Darius Morris (free agent), Jahlil Okafor (free agent), Elfrid Payton (free agent), Julius Randle (free agent), Kenrich Williams (free agent), Tony Carr (drafted No. 51)
Subtractions: DeMarcus Cousins (Warriors), DeAndre Liggins (waived), Rajon Rondo (Lakers)
Outlook: Things are starting to look pretty grim for the Pelicans. Rumors have already started that Anthony Davis is going to be looking elsewhere at the end of this contract. And who can blame him? The Brow will be entering his seventh season with New Orleans and in those six previous seasons, Davis has only truly seen one major signing or trade, that of DeMarcus Cousins. From the outset, it wasn’t clear that that was even a good move, considering Cousins’s mercurial attitude and propensity to anger quickly on the court. Nonetheless, Cousins performed pretty well when on the court for the Pels, as he averaged 25.2 points per game and 12.9 rebounds per game in 2017-18. I’d say that’s a good bit better than “pretty well”. Unfortunately, his tenure was cut short by injury and then he up and decided to align himself with the Dark Side and join the Warriors.
Now, Davis is looking at a roster that is lackluster, at best. None of their signings over the summer are really anywhere close to difference makers. Rondo seemed to be making a comeback, at least in the playoffs, but he opted to try his luck out in LA with ‘Bron. Julius Randle is a nice young player but he’s not what they need. Nor is Elfrid Payton and his Gumby hair. The Western Conference is deeper than ever, and that’s saying a lot as it’s largely been the better conference for the past decade. I just don’t see how this iteration of the Pelicans can amount to much of anything, even with Anthony Davis. You’ve got to start wondering when it’s going to be time for the Pelicans to start fresh.
What success looks like: I don’t even know what success looks like for the Pelicans anymore. Maybe success turns out to be that a few of these acquired young guys have breakout seasons that give a ray of hope to the front office in their attempts to resign Davis in the future. Maybe success is finally deciding it’s time to give up on the Anthony Davis era and trade him for a monster package of future firsts or a new corner stone all-star. Either way, they can’t keep treading water because eventually, Davis is going to want a shot at more.
Cavalier theft targets: In the event the Cavs choose to move on from Kevin Love (I hope they don’t) Mirotic is a nice young piece that the Cavs could go after if the Pelicans seem to be floundering. I’d love to pair Davis and Love together in Cleveland but if New Orleans goes that route, other teams will be able to present more enticing packages. Jrue Holiday’s $25.9M contract is way too much for my liking, and the rest of the roster is basically filler. Too bad Emeka Okafor never turned out to be anything…
Preseason Grade: No letter grade, just groans from the front office. The Pelicans did not do well this off-season.
San Antonio Spurs
Additions: Marco Belinelli (free agent), Dante Cunningham (free agent), DeMar DeRozan (trade with the Raptors), Jakob Poeltl (trade with the Raptors), Quincy Pondexter (free agent), Lonnie Walker IV (drafted No. 18), Chimezie Metu (drafted No. 49)
Subtractions: Kyle Anderson (Grizzlies), Danny Green (traded to the Raptors), Kawhi Leonard (traded to the Raptors), Tony Parker (Hornets), Brandon Paul (waived)
Outlook: A lot has changed in San Antonio. No one is left from their previous triumvirate of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili. Duncan and Ginobili are retired, Parker joined the Hornets, and the presumed crown prince of Alamo City has been traded to the Great White North. Pau Gasol is still around but he is long past being the all-star of his youth. Still, things just don’t get cloudy in San Antonio the way they do here in North East Ohio.
The Spurs were able to reload on the star front with DeMar DeRozan. Even though I have never been a fan of DeRozan’s game, I’m excited to see what he can become under Pop’s tutelage. He’s still only 29 and has got a few more years of athleticism left. His game should be able to adapt and improve within San Antonio’s system. They also added a young center in Jakob Poeltl and I have no doubts that he’s going to look great on the Spurs. They’ve still got LaMarcus Aldridge, even though his presence hasn’t led to much success, he might benefit from the fresh blood DeRozan represents.
No matter what, the Spurs seem to always surprise everyone around the League. Just when you think this is the year San Antonio will be bad, Pop’s got them sitting squarely in the race for the playoffs. I would imagine this is another one of those instances.
What success looks like: DeMar DeRozan integrates and adjusts flawlessly to the new system oriented team. His play pairs beautifully with Aldridge and the Spurs have no trouble slipping in to one of the late seeds in the playoffs. From there, they give one of the top four seeds a run for their money, yet again surprising everyone around.
Cavalier theft targets: I’ve always like Patty Mills. If things implode, however unlikely, maybe San Antonio will give him up so the Cavs can have another experienced PG for a playoff push. Other than that, maybe Belinelli doesn’t work out and the Cavs can get him for cheap to give them another shooter in the event the Cavaliers aren’t themselves tanking.
Preseason Grade: E for Entirely Expected. I absolutely Expected San Antonio to get a better deal for Leonard than the Cavs got for Kyrie, and they certainly did. I also Expect they will perform Entirely well without Kawhi. It’s the Spurs.

Mayfield looked great last night. Man he throws lasers
And he makes a quick decision. Great start for the kid.
I told y’all on draft night…. QB1.
and I’m back on team JR…. he’s gonna ball out this year LMAO!!! He believes in Money Mayfield!!!
I was already on board, and liked the pick at 1.
I’ll give you credit, I went back and looked at the draft thread in the recap and you were one of the very few who weren’t down on the pick.
Credit to both of you. I was skeptical. Warmed up after watching more tape on him post draft. Last night killed my remaining doubts. His arm is great. His ball look crisps after the release and most impressive is his quick decision making. I expect him to have more than a few terrible games this season and he almost threw an interception last night but he looked great compared to Taylor and Darnold. Even though Darnold maybe doesn’t have as good of a line or weapons, he still made an absolutely horrific decision leading to his first int last night.… Read more »
Darnold’s too green (pun intended) right now…. he just turned 21 this summer.
Yup… Mayfield will have his rookie moments… and I’ve lost faith in Hue Jackson and was never a fan of Todd Haley. But he’s so accurate, his arm is live, he has the “it” factor, and he scrambles to make big plays with his arm.
He’s so much more fun to watch than Andy Dalton LOL. I’m jealous.
Mayfield Dynasty!!!
YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!
Best arm I’ve seen on a Browns QB maybe ever. Really nice job of going through his reads and getting the ball out. Jets were shellshocked though. Next game will be tougher.
Yeah most impressive part to me are his progressions. Didn’t look much like a rookie tonight. Quick and decisive. Even more impressive was that he apparently didn’t get reps with the 1st string guys after Sunday. Along with that arm and his mobility to escape a collapsing pocket he has all the tools.
Was so bummed draft night. Happy to look stupid about that.
Best since Brian Sipe…
https://twitter.com/oldseaminer/status/1042981676899434502
Also Ward has a nose for forcing turnovers. I was skeptical of that pick. Thought he would be good but I wanted Chubb. However he has had a pretty spectacular rookie season as far as forcing tos. Got beat on that play where he got the strip, but made up for it big time a second later.
The Browns finally have a QB!
Looks like it. He is going to have some rocky starts/rookie mistakes no doubt, but he was pretty great tonight. Darnold on the other hand…..well glad they picked Mayfield.
BA-KER MAY-FIELD!!! GO BROWNS!
https://twitter.com/oldseaminer/status/1042974186728239104
Certainly does. Looked good. Team certainly seemed to respond. Could have had more yardage if not for those drops on the last drive. Impressive first game. That trick reverse and pass to Mayfield for the two point was a thing of beauty. Credit to Todd Haley on that. Glad to see they finally got the run game going and started to feed Hyde more consistently. Responded well with a monster game.
Hyde!
That was all Mayfield.
Cleveland Clevaland!
Mayfield in. Hope the kid doesn’t get his head knocked off like Tyrod did.
Kid’s got a live arm.
sorry I tried watching the browns for an entire qtr.—just can’t do —–BORING !!
https://twitter.com/oldseaminer/status/1042929298519322624?s=19
If that happened and I believe it is within the realm of possibility, I think the Browns would be on their way out of town. It would likely mean another one or two win season this year. They also likely wouldn’t go from another one or two win season this year to winning more than 5-6 games next year. Attendance has dropped over the past few years from what I hear. If they aren’t a 500 team in three years from now, I could see attendance falling to abysmal numbers (for a football team). If that happens I could see… Read more »
They have something like a 28.5% winning percentage since 1999.

EVIL I CAN FEEL YOUR EMOTIONS —I SHARE THEM WITH YOU !!!!
prayers are with you r.j. and the entire country !!!!
https://twitter.com/ComplexSports/status/1042864066484752388
So… if Lakers already missed out on PG13… don’t look like favorites even in their own city to get Kahwi or Jimmy… do they just focus all their efforts on recruiting The Brow?
I hope the Clips get them all!
Wouldn’t that be something?
Hope they end up getting Austin Rivers and Michael Carter-Williams instead.
Devastating. Our thoughts are with you, RJ.

Horrible
Wow that’s just horrible.
Horrible news!
Unfortunate and sad.
Senseless… was just monitoring a shooting near a school out here in Van Nuys and then saw this as well. WTF is wrong with people?
think the nba –(players owners )—-are walking a “thin line ” with contracts / drama / product that is put out / super teams etc —-as far as losing its fan base —–just my opinion
I could see a work stoppage coming soon, when NBA owners decide to get rid of that 5th year of Max deals, or reduce max payouts to players, because a lot of players are leaving money on the table to play for other cities/teams. I am typically more supportive of the players in these types of negotiations, but do support the owners in this case.
Lots of NBA drama coming out of Minnesota. Thank god it’s not in Cleveland.

Nice, I’ll pick it up for my daughter.
Great stuff, jmay
Getting jacked for the season. This division is loaded. Count me in the group that wonders wtf Houston is doing, that memphis will be the odd team out again and looking to blow it up, and that San Antonio will surprise.
That’s a great question.
Based on his short list… Jimmy Butler doesn’t want to win… Jimmy Butler just wants to get max bank well into his mid 30s…
What teams?
Never mind. If it’s NY, BKN, or the clips that is crazy. Bet you he would stay in Boston though.
I don’t know why Boston would need him though… especially with their young guys. Who wants Butler on the last two years of a max deal at age 34 and 35?
True. However, he is currently a major upgrade over Brown if healthy. If they think they can beat the warriors with that roster and Butler, they probably do it.
I don’t know about major upgrade… especially with what the Celtics would have to give up to make it happen. I’m not the biggest Brown fan, but even I’d admit the kid was pretty great in the post-season, and he’s only 21. Trading for a 30 year old Butler and giving him a max deal doesn’t sound like a Danny Ainge type of move. I’d bet Boston is happy spending the first half of the season just seeing all of their healthy pieces together. Maybe things are different at the trade deadline if the Raps and Sixers look like bigger… Read more »
Agree on it not being typical Ainge. I like Brown, but Butler is a top 12-15 player right now. Brown isn’t anywhere near that, yet. Butler’s Rpm was fantastic last season and the difference with him playing and not playing for the wolves last year was stark. He is a major difference maker as a two way player. Not sure I would do it, but it could be enticing as I think that team could challenge GS just as much or more than Houston did last year
Brown isn’t near that yet, but again… he’s 21. Compare his season 2 stats with Butler’s second season (actually compare with Butler’s season 3 since he didn’t play much at all his rookie year), and Brown actually projects better. Bottom line, the EC is still playing for second place until KD decides to move on or there’s a major injury in GS. With what they already have in place, the team that took the Cavs to seven games in the ECF without Kyrie and Hayward, Celtics are odds on favorites to be in the Finals. Butler is a great player,… Read more »
All true. KD sort of makes them unbeatable if their core is all healthy. Irving outplayed curry in the only finals he was healthy for. Butler is a better overall player than Klay but having to guard KD could put him in foul trouble. Who knows how good Hayward or Kyrie will be going forward. Horford could switch on to just about everyone on that team but KD as well as TT could in 2016. Tatum could be an x factor if he takes a massive atep forward in his development. Of course Brown could too. But while Butler could… Read more »
The Nets for 18 first round draft picks!
I got my eye on the Spurs…. made the playoffs with little contribution from Leonard, and now they’ve added DeRozan and Poeltl.
I really like their draft picks in Walker and Metu… I think they could be immediate bench pieces, Walker obviously moreso than Metu.
https://twitter.com/dg_riff/status/1042471816474710016
For who? Doubt they give up Tatum. My guess is Brown, filler and a second rounder. Filler could include Rozier or Smart. Likely would get it done and be a deal no one else could match. Irving, Butler, Hayward, Tatum, Horford is a terrifying starting lineup with both defense and offense. Butler and Horford are obviously hugely plus defenders. So many weapons on offense. Irving, Hayward, Horford, and Tatum can shoot the three, and Butler has improved and can hit spot ups. Wolves go back to being in the basement unless Towns and Wiggins can figure out how to play… Read more »
nba needs drama all the way thru the season —-until playoffs to “create ‘ interest——-this is just the beginning !!
Butler requested a trade out of Minny!
He’s provided a list of 2-3 teams
Knicks, Nets and Clippers. If Knicks or Nets end up getting him, I’d bet Irving ends up there, too.
Interesting… I would have thought the Lakers, since he mentioned his interest of playing there recently. And I would agree that if Butler is in NY, then I could see Kyrie ending up there as well.
Strange list unless you consider it’s about pairing up with Kyrie. We know the flat earth isn’t going to the lakers. Butler is going to wind up on a crappy team with Kyrie out with an injury. I’d bet on LBJ, Jimmy, before I’d bank on uncle drew.
Seems like he doesn’t want to play with LeBron. Not really surprising considering he’s BFFs with Kyrie…
Need ownership to invest in management. Build the Spurs in Cleveland.
Not going to happen with this owner. He only wants guys who will let him make decisions. Competent management don’t want to work here with Gilbert.
To be honest, I don’t think it will happen of LeBron buys the Cavs either. I don’t see him as being able to keep his hands out of the cookie jar.
Lebron isn’t buying the team. Gilbert doesn’t want to sell, definitely doesn’t want to sell to LBJ, and LBJ can’t afford it.
Yet… yet and yet…
Michael Carter-Williams may be the worst offensive player I’ve ever seen in the NBA. If he plays at all, he will be a disaster, and I have no idea what Morey sees in him. I don’t think he’s an NBA player.
Thanks for the writeup, I enjoyed it.
Ironically he was also ROY. But I would agree, I hate his game.
Doncic will now be my “Hunter Pence”
Luka Doncic doesn’t pay the 10 cents for shopping bags
Luka Doncic thinks Game of Thrones is just okay
Luka Doncic can’t parallel park
Luka Doncic still uses MySpace
“IF ” that happens ——and they would win an nba championship—–doesn’t that (aka Durant )—-cheapen the title for LeBron —–thoughts ?
Yeah I see the Brow and Bron teaming up next season (or earlier) in LA. Maybe with Leonard too?
I’ll bet you Leonard stays in Toronto.
If his uncle is as in his ear as the rumors make it out to be, almost certainly winds up in LA.
well done jmay —-hard to believe —“THE BROW ‘ is entering his 7th season with not a whole– (team success )— to show for it —YES IF THERE WAS A WAY TO MAKE HIM A CAV ———BUT ALSO REALIZE THAT WILL ALMOST NEVER HAPPEN
