Definitely.

Should've chosen the Spurs, at least he has a chance to win a title with the Spurs. He must not know about the Mavs' history of choking.

Mavs is a good team imo. If i wasnt such a die hard Spurs fans, i can easily see myself rooting for the Mavs...

They've been a "good" team for the past 10 years lol, it's too bad they've never had a "great" team like the Spurs.

You know...once timmah/manu are gone it is going to be pretty enjoyable watching the spurs stink it up. I mean arrogance should be rewarded.

Obviously he made a good decision. He made more money AND is going to a really good team. I'm bummed but I can't blame the guy.

Cubes probably wouldn't have offered much more than he did offer, and he didnt offer much. Cubes has gotten pretty cheap for years now, dating back to him cutting Michael Finley, with the exception being for centers, which is understandable, because quality centers are hard to find.

If all Brewer wanted was money, he likely could have gotten nice monetary offers from another team. Dude wanted to go to a contender too, which is why he narrowed it down to the Celtics, Spurs, and Mavs, you ignorant fuck.

[Killakobe81]

agree ...I might as well start rooting for the celts. No problem with respecting your rival but rooting for them? if that's the case the rivalry does NOT exist ...

[TheSpursFNRule]

lol using Peja and Brewer as reasons for being stacked. Brewer is good but not a game changer and just watch Peja vanish in the PO's just like Marion.

[Phillip]

PG - Kidd, Barea
SG - Roddy, Terry
SF - Brewer, Marion
PF - Dirk, Peja
C - Chandler, Haywood

Others - Mahinmi, Butler, Stevenson, Cardinal, Dojo

Pretty stacked team, tbh. I hope they start Brewer, as he provides a "glue" guy offensively, and a strong wing defender. I think this would actually benefit Roddy the most directly, by giving him more shots, and indirectly it could affect Dirk, because if Roddy getting the extra shots can help him get on track to perform efficiently on offense like he did last year, he will take a lot of scoring pressure off Dirk.

[Phillip]

A Finals run pretty much hinges on Roddy and Terry at this point. If one or the other is able to have a solid offensive night any given game, they can provide a scoring punch to take pressure off of Dirk, that can get the Mavs over the hump. We already pretty much know what the Mavs will get from everyone else, but they need some kind of offensive punch every game from Roddy or Terry, and if they get that, the Mavs will be fine.

[Shank]

lol using Peja and Brewer as reasons for being stacked. Brewer is good but not a game changer and just watch Peja vanish in the PO's just like Marion.

Gee, that's a lot of players that are set to vanish in the playoffs. Someone should give them a heads-up.

[TD 21]

I hope he enjoys sitting on the bench. If/when Butler returns, will he even be active? It's between him and Mahinmi and they'll probably keep Mahinmi active, since they only have three bigs active besides him (I know Marion plays backup four, but he's a three).

Clearly, he's not too bright and he doesn't value winning or playing that much. Could have taken less with the Spurs, possibly been in the rotation, playing a part on a team that could very well win the championship, then cashed in this summer/post lockout. Instead, he goes for the quick cash grab and goes to a non-contender, where he'll be hard pressed to play now and has no chance to play when they're healthy.

that would be starting lineup change nr. 1432 this season...not saying that it would end bad necessarily, but shouldn't the players be used to one another come playofftime? no top-team in the nba has changed its lineup as much as the mavs..

Butler isnt coming back this season. Thats a pipedream. Butler and Jones are out longterm. Cardinal will be the 3rd guy in streetcloths.

The Mavs have Peja and Marion. Marion will keep his tagteam benchrole with Terry. Marion will keep playing also backup PF minutes. Brewer has even a chance to surpass Peja as a starter.

Thats why he chooses the Mavs. Next season Peja is maybe gone, Stevenson too...

You think Butler is going to just pop right back into the lineup after having his fucking kneecap swimming around the inside of his thigh?

Doesn't value winning? Mavs are on the heels of the Spurs and would be right there if not for the Dirk injury. Past performances don't equal the same for the future. That's why teams reload with guys like Chandler, Peja and Brewer - it's to make a run for the title, much like anyone else.

Why would he take less to play for the Spurs when there was a market out there that apparently included half of the NBA?

Mavs, non-contender? LOL. Whatever, buttfuck. Keep your dim-witted, myopic opinions to yourself or stick to talking about your own team.

If they went this route, they would need to do so IMMEDIATELY. 20 games should give them enough time to gel, although in Brewers case, hes not expected to be much more than a junk guy on offense, so it shouldnt be as big of a problem as it was for Butler last year, who was expected to be the #2 guy.

To me this should solve the issue of starting Peja and Roddy and how the D sux when
that happens. Now plug CB in at the 3 and the D improves drastically.
Peja can still get minutes but situational

ok..my mistake....i didnt mean "root" for Mavs. They are just a pretty good team with good ownership. With that said, I hate Dirk and the Mavs!

[ElNono]

tbh, good move by Dallas...

Now they can roll out a defensive unit of Kidd, Stevenson, Marion/Brewer, Dirk, Chandler and really play some solid D while having Dirk carry the bulk of scoring...

I'll take him at his word until I hear otherwise. Even if he doesn't return, you think they're going to mess up what they've got going on? You think a team that already isn't explosive offensively, is going to play an entire backup front line that can't shoot for long stretches? Face it, there's no role for him on the Mavs. They got him just to do it and to keep him from the Spurs.

The Mavs aren't a legit contender. There's only four and they aren't one of them. Even if they were, he has no chance to crack their rotation (barring injury). Their rotation is set and the only alteration will be if Butler returns.

Supposedly, he wanted to go to a contender. That's why he'd go to the Spurs. Two of the four contenders were supposedly interested, only the Celtics have Pierce AND Green ahead of him at SF. The Spurs have Jefferson and a hole at SF. Would he have come in and usurped Neal? Not immediately. But there could come a time where he conceivably plays a role for this team, because they don't have a plus wing defender with size (if/when, I've got to think he'd have played in the 2nd round, taking a turn on Durant).

A Mavs fan, on a Spurs board, telling a Spurs fan to essentially fuck off? Only a Mavs fan would be too stupid to see the irony in that.

This isn't sour grapes, genius. If Murphy were deciding between the Mavs/Spurs and he chose the Mavs, I'd be saying he made the right choice. This is all about fit.

Firs time I ever cut and pasted the same thing in two threads. Felt it applied to both.

I'm excellent at this.

The Mavs aren't contenders for the same reason they've never won a championship: It's been made abundantly clear that Nowitzki can't be the lead player on a championship team. They've needed a perimeter guy who could be their go-to guy for years. In the last thirty years, unless you had prime Olajuwon or Duncan, it's been proven that you need a Hall-of-Fame perimeter player to win a championship. Johnson, Bird, Thomas, Jordan, Bryant, Ginobili, Wade, Pierce. The only exception is the '04 Pistons, but even then, Billups was playing at least close to a Hall-of-Fame level during that run for them. The Mavs don't have that guy and Nowitzki isn't exactly prime Olajuwon or Duncan.

Obviously, they're a very good team, 5th or 6th best in the league (I'd go 6th, personally) and will push anyone they encounter. But in the end, they're going to lose to the Lakers in seven games in the second round.

Why aren't Mavs fans cynical by now? Why is it that, every season, hope springs eternal? You've seen basically the same season over and over for a decade, yet they've got you all hook, line and sinker . . . again. Even though they're not much different than they were last season. For all the talk about their defense, they're actually worse than the Spurs defensively (with Duncan playing 29 mpg).
