I like but I don't. I like because Rudy is a terrific catch n shoot guy, and with the Mav's ball movement, he's gonna get a shitload of open looks. I don't like because this probalby means Stevenson is gone, and that royally fucks the perimeter defense.

:lol.................no

[Monostradamus]

But hey with Tyson Chandler down low, lots of shitty defenders on the Mavs have looked okay.

[Axe Murderer]

:lol.................no

tbh I've never really watched him play too much but i thought det's what he was known for

atleast he gets a lot of steals :tu

[Ghazi]

There aren't many minutes for Stevenson anyway... we have to unleash French Allah next year

although I wouldn't mind bringing him back for the minimum.

[Monostradamus]

tbh Stevenson probably will be an unfortunate casualty, and some idiot out there will offer JJ Barea far more than he's worth. Roddy at backup PG and Rudy the new starting SG.........westaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaacked

[Amarelooms]

Rudy is replacing Peja who is gone. JJB is gone also.

Hopefully Stevenson will sign for 1-2 million and play the thug role and D stopper

:elephant

[Ghazi]

I hope we bring back Barea... he moves the ball well! :p:

Rudy averaged like 2 points against the Mavs in the playoffs. The guy is not all that.

lol rudy fernandez would be a high lottery pick in this draft

lol Mavs best FO in the Association by far

[sribb43]

If anyone would have told you that in the 2011 NBA Draft the Mavs came out with Rudy Fernandez, it would have been hands down a successful draft

[Jacob1983]

If the Mavs have gotten Aldridge, that would have been awesome. Can you imagine the Mavs with Aldridge? That team would be unstoppable.

[lil_penny]

sucks to see Rudy go.. but it was time, he had a excellent rookie season but has since dropped off.the reasoning was that he hasn't been used properly during his first season he was alongside a fast pg such as Sergio and he was great. I think he would fit well on the Mavs if they resign j.j.

[sribb43]

[DAF86]

If he stops with the "I wanna go home with my mommy" whinning the Mavs just made a hell of a deal, but something tells me that there's a reason why Portland let him go for just the 26th pick.

“So happy to be in the best team in the nba!!!dallas!!!” - Fernandez twitter.

I think he will be fine, especially since the starting spot is likely his to lose.

I would have liked to see what Jordan Hamilton could have became, but cant argue with this move either. The Mavs still have an open window to win, and getting a legit 2 guard who can score, shoot, and handle the ball, will be a nice thing. Not as strong of a defender as Stevenson, but a little quicker lateral movement, and better overall athlete than Deshawn. And he actually has size. Great fit for the starting lineup.

Mavs need to hope they can re-sign both Butler and Chandler. I definitely want Cardinal back, as while hes not a great regular season piece, hes a perfect backup for Dirk in the playoffs. I wouldn't mind JJB returning, but I think that they might need to consider just taking a risk and giving the backup PG job to Roddy.

PG - Kidd, Roddy
SG - Fernandez, Terry
SF - Butler, Marion
PF - Nowitzki, Cardinal
C - Chandler, Haywood

If Roddy plays at a decent level at least, and Kidd doesnt just give up now that hes gotten his ring, the Mavs have a great shot at another title run.

[Prime1]

They should let go Cardinal go and have Marion back up both the three and the four in that case.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I agree about JJB. He's gonna command a hefty price tag that isn't worth it, teams are eventually gonna figure out how to defend him now that he's a known commodity who'll show up on scouting reports.

As big a Marion hater as I am, I think it'd be fuckin nuts for Dallas to hand the starting SF job to Butler after how important Marion was for them last season. In a bench, 20-25 MPG role Butler would thrive, but Marion has more than earned the starting SF role. Idk how they could convince him to happily move back to the bench after last season.

Fernandez was a good move, but IMO it'd be stupid to hand him the starting job. I've never seen a team that had so much chemistry on offense where everyone knew his role and knew when to/not to shoot before Dallas, it'd be stupid to fuck it up. Fernandez and Butler off the bench would be sick since they wouldn't dig Dallas' starters a huge hole like their bench did at times in the playoffs, but Stevenson and Marion deserve to be starters.

[alamo50]

Cool, another Peja.

[Daddy_Of_All_Trolls]

Pretty good pickup for a draft choice. If one 3 point shooter goes cold, plenty more to choose from on the bench.

[dunkman]

Somehow the Spurs couldn't get a first rounder for Scola, but at least Houston took Butler and his contract.

[tlongII]

I like Rudy and hope he does well for you. He's a moody euro though. If he's not happy he plays like shit. He'll be good for your female fanbase. The women love him.

[jag]

Exactly.

I'm not going to sit here and go down on Mark Cuban, but this was an awesome move and it came out of nowhere.

Fernandez and Butler off the bench would be sick since they wouldn't dig Dallas' starters a huge hole like their bench did at times in the playoffs, but Stevenson and Marion deserve to be starters.

I agree about Marion, he probably should be starting over Butler, and for the sake of team chemistry, it would probably be better to do that. Butler has no reason to request to be a starter, and would accept being a bench player better than Marion would I'm sure. In fact, it's probably better for Butler to be off the bench, especially when Dirk is out of the game, it provides another scorer off the bench to provide spacing and explosive scoring punch.

It would be hard to do that with Stevenson though, unless the Mavs intend to use Terry as backup PG now, because then that would give them 3 SGs to rotate with. Fernandez is a much better basketball player than Stevenson. And I think Fernandez would fit in with the starting unit just fine. Dude is a Euro, and likely already understands the importance of passing and ball-movement. He might not be quite as good defensively as Stevenson, but his ability to make an opponent work on both ends, and his ability to move without the ball, is something Stevenson could not do (unless it involved getting a wide open 3 off a double-team or something).

Of course, we will just have to wait and see, but I would have no issue at all giving Fernandez the starting SG spot, with Terry remaining at 6th man.

[jag]

I like Rudy and hope he does well for you. He's a moody euro though. If he's not happy he plays like shit. He'll be good for your female fanbase. The women love him.

He's a moody, soft ass diva. But he can ball. TyChan, Dirk and Terry will probably ride his ass, and I think it'll help get the most out of him. He's a lot more versatile than people think. I always wanted the Spurs to get him.

[Texas Chili Dog]

I'm not going to sit here and go down on Mark Cuban

[Red Hawk #21]

Rudy and JJ are gunna be a pain for the opposing team to contain. Great move by the Champs.

PS- Mavs are gunna have a lot of Spanish Speaking fans now. Which is great for their fan base.

No one team should have all that stackedness.

Wonder how they manage the minutes or who they won't resign. Great problem to have tbh

You would like that wouldn't you. :madrun:

[mavsfan1000]

Rudy Fernandez starting? No way. Stevenson is starting. Stevenson is a way better defender than Fernandez and Fernandez shot horribly in the playoffs this year. (2.8 ppg and 22% from the field)

[Phillip]

You already proved you are a stupidfuck that knows jack shit about basketball.

Stevenson was nice, but Fernandez is a MUCH better basketball player, and a better fit for the Mavs than Stevenson. They finally have a legit SG for the first time since Michael Finley. He's not as strong defensively, but hes not just atrocious either. But his offensive contributions is what will be most useful. Dude is a great spot-up shooter (something he will get lost of in the Mavs system), can put the ball on the floor and get to the hoop/dish, and can play off the ball and get easy buckets with slashing. He can even give solid minutes running point. High IQ player.

If the Mavs resign both Butler and Chandler, Fernandez will be an absolutely perfect fit for the Mavs. And if they can actually be healthy heading into the playoffs, they have a shot to make another serious run.

[Phillip]

depending on money, they can still pretty much keep most of the team together, and if things go wrong, they can revert back to what worked this year

Kidd, Barea, Roddy
Fernandez, Terry, Jones
Marion, Butler, Stevenson, Brewer
Nowitzki, Cardinal
Chandler, Haywood, Mahinmi

In essence, they have a chance to sport nearly the same exact roster, but with a healthy Roddy, healthy Butler, and adding Fernandez. I'd be happy to go into the season with this group, even though I'm sure they will not keep all these guys, and other moves will be made.

[ogait]

Good pick for the Mavs. If he's motivated and has a defined role in the team unlike what happened in Portland, he will no doubt contribute. He's a good player.

[Findog]

I think JJ signs elsewhere for big bucks. Somebody is going to overpay him and it won't be the Mavs. He's turned into a valuable useful player in the 20-25 mpg role the Mavs have given him, but I can see some other team promising him a bigger role where his flaws will be exposed more. Roddy will need to step up in JJ's absence.

I think Peja retires, so hopefully that keeps a roster spot open for Stevenson.

And then hopefully we can resign Chandler under the new CBA. If all that happens, I really like our chances to repeat.

[redzero]

Speaking of Landry, I wonder what he will do now. I'll take him now that West is a gimp, but I doubt David will opt out after he tore his ACL.

[tlongII]

If Oden can get healthy we'll take you down.

Oden/Camby/Wallace/Aldridge/Batum = Best frontcourt in the NBA

[redzero]

If Oden can get healthy we'll take you down.

I think it's 50/50 Oden will ever play again. I'd be surprised if he becomes an impact player.

[tlongII]

I think it's 50/50 Oden will ever play again. I'd be surprised if he becomes an impact player.

I think you're wrong. He's a unique talent and the indications are that he has a very good chance of being healthy long term.

[clambake]

not trying to shit on him, but what indications would those be?

[redzero]

I think you're wrong. He's a unique talent and the indications are that he has a very good chance of being healthy long term.

Yes, a good indication of health is not being able to jump without fracturing a knee cap.

[Phillip]

players i'd rather sign than cardinal:

leon powe
louis amundson
chuck hayes
josh mcroberts
kris humphries
carl landry

Landry would be amazing, but no way in hell can the Mavs afford him. Hayes would be nice too. I really wish they never traded Humphries away. I always thought they would regret that.

[redzero]

tlong thinks that every year is the Blazers' year, so he might be right eventually.

[Axe Murderer]

i hope we don't resign cardinal, need to sign a real backup pf. dude found a way to contribute this year but i gotta say no to resigning him. see if jamison would sign for the minimum and win a ring backing up dirk first.

i say we just keep cardinal. he's obviously got good chemistry with the guys and he has a defined role on the team as a hustle player who's not afraid to give hard fouls and piss off the other team. And it's not like he's gonna receive any hefty offers like Barea probably will

Yes Stevenson wasn't a good fit. He only helped us win a championship! Replacing a clutch shooter and great defensive player with a choker and a poor defender is always a good idea to a team that just won a championship!

When has Fernandez ever been known as a choker? Dude plays fearless. Hell he damn near led Spain to a victory over the US in the gold medal game in 2008.

He's not as good of a defender as Stevenson, but hes not horrible by any means. He definitely can hold his own, especially with a guy like Chandler behind him.
