Nick Nurse managing like this weird, we're a maxi edge comb team, but we've got, you know, Embiid and Paul George here still.

And we've got a lot of guys hurting in and out of the lineup.

Mark Dagnall, obviously, just doing the usual great job with the Thunder.

Mitch Johnson in San Antonio.

David Adelman with Denver.

And then we mentioned Ott.

So, like, all those guys, I think, are going to be in the mix when we're talking in another couple of months.

There's a follow-up tweet from Shams, by the way, that says that the Mavericks are having renewed Davis trade talks with multiple interested teams.

So despite the injury, I guess teams might want to grab him for next season.

Interesting.

I will say it clarifies Dallas's season.

They've been kind of straddling this line where we're like, we're not a tanking team.

We're trying to compete.

Kyrie might come back.

We have Anthony Davis.

We got PJ Washington.

We got, but like Derek Lively's out Gafford and Washington keep getting hurt.

Now, Anthony Davis has been in and out of the lineup and has now gone for the rest of the season.

This clarifies things.

This is the last year that they controlled their pick for quite a while.
