Mot has a lot of potential - maybe he can get that Nerlans money the Mavs saved them

And to think Makai Mason threw in 31 versus a team that had 3 NBA players and an NFL player. Hopefully he isn't a bust next year.

Motley should not have been redshirted but willing gave up a year.
He needed to go pro at his age.
The Mavs kept him as their stashed player. If there was something negative, Motley would be released.
Rick wouldn't have him on the floor to embarrass him or the Mavs.

After Motley's performance today, he'll be with the Mavs all year next year. He just owned Andre Drummond. And pissed me off for the first time by playing so well, he almost single handedly ruined the Mavs tank.

He probably needs to tweak a hamstring or something, lest he cost the Mavs some ping pong balls.

Seriously, great to see Motley play so well. And on a night where Prince was the leading scorer in a Hawks win.

Jonathan Motley is fun

I have no idea how good Motley is, but he's definitely been one of the more enjoyable things to watch about the Mavericks as they close out the season with the veterans sitting out.

Motley finished with 26 points and 12 rebounds with a lot of that against Andre Drummond. He's had a solid run in the last few games and while it's very easy to dismiss it against a weak schedule against teams that aren't trying anymore, sometimes these games do matter.

I saw an interesting stat: since 2004 the only Mavs to put up at least 26 & 12 are Dirk, Shawn Marion, Josh Howard, and Motley.

Rick Carlisle or a bleacher report reporter? I ll take coach who wants to run a bunch of pick n roll lobs this season to match the way the team is built.
Motley did well but didn't fit the system. He plays below the rim and is a nice fit with the new addition the Clippers have at Center.
The Mavs thought enough of him to trade him. They let him look at other teams to find him a place.
They could have just released him.
He ll have a good chance with the Clippers.

Isn't this a Baylor forum?!

Sorry, but I didn't graduate from "Motley U." I'll always lament one of our great student athletes leaving early. And, the odds bare out that it's usually a foolish decision.

I always want what's best for our great teams, coaches and university.

It was best for Motley to go pro. He put in his time at Baylor and redshirted for the team. He could have gone other places and not redshirted.

In today's win over the Spurs Motley played 18 minutes and scored 10 and grabbed four boards.

Speaking of the benefits of leaving early, what is Quincy Miller up to these days?
