Odom to Dallas

I figured they'd pull out, make amends with Odom and run Gasol off.

I was wrong.

Dirk and Odom on the same team? Mavs vs. Spurs is going to be like Kobe vs. a drunk white women festival.

Yep losing Chandler was very bad, but this is a blow to the Spurs. They didn't sign anyone once again this offseason, going into next year with the old team that got outted in the first round with a new rookie and a new backup PG who is not an upgrade over George Hill.

Good move for Dallas, knew they would get something.

[stretch]

I think this is a great pickup for the Mavs. Gives them depth and versatility on the wings, and most importantly a legit backup PF for Dirk. Also should help the defense a lot.

If the Mavs can sign Dalembert and convince Stevenson to re-sign, I like their chances at getting back to the Finals.

Kidd
Stevenson
Marion
Dirk
Dalembert

Beaubois
Terry
Carter
Odom
Haywood

Pretty stout team, IMO.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for D12 though...

[Giuseppe]

Dirk and LO. Both can shoot the 3. Both is crafty off the dribble. LO is a good defender too. They both will take turns reaming the TOSB! :downspin:

So now Lakers are basically a lock for Dwight? Are did they just decide they HAD to get rid of Odom?

[DPG21920]

Odom is a good pickup but a really awkward fit beside Dirk. Is Dirk now the center?

[LkrFan]

Pau+Bynum for Howard said ESPN

Doubtful. The TE they got from Dallas + Sasha's TE = enough to take Hedo off their hands.

Frontcourt trio: D12/Pau/Hedo.

You got Dalembert and Carter already?

[stretch]

Odom's natural position is the 3, and would likely only play at the 4 when backing up Dirk.

Not akward at all.

[Giuseppe]

Needless to say after The Prediction I have taken a shine to Hedo.

[Sean Cagney]

Odom is a good pickup but a really awkward fit beside Dirk. Is Dirk now the center?

True, it's not an upgrade over Chandler at all if that is the trade off. He is a long three basically who can play the 4, but not a post player nor defender of the post. It is an odd fit but still they got him for basically nothing.

[DPG21920]

I think he is a PF and plays better there, but I don't see how Dalembert to DAL works w/ no trade exception now.

[stretch]

You got Dalembert and Carter already?

Sounds like Carter is almost certainly going to happen any day now.

Dalembert named Dallas as his #1 destination, and Sacramento renounced their rights to him, so if he wanted, he could just outright sign with Dallas. So if they want him, they can have him no problem at all.

[DMC]

The Prediction!!!

[stretch]

I don't think he has to be traded.

I believe Sacramento gave up their rights to him.

[slick'81]

yeah dallas still has haywood down low and will bring in another big. dirk stays at pf and odom off the bench easy really

I would not want Carter at all man, a chucker who is well past his time! Why would you want Carter starting ahead of Jet? I would aim for Dalembert and forget Vince on the team. Dalembert would be good for you.
yeah dallas still has haywood down low and will bring in another big. dirk stays at pf and odom off the bench easy really

This makes sense. They are still a very deep team who will contend. If LA gets Howard that would be a great playoff series to watch. I got Miami taking this title this year though, no matter who gets who. Is Billups still wanting to head to Miami? I know they got Shane, but if they get Chauncey :wow

[LkrFan]

Really good pick up for Dallas - not gonna lie.

Good luck LO (except when you play LA).:tu

[Giuseppe]

Aren't we gonna talk about how Odom is going to be suicidal and his wife is going to be chubby and stuff like that?

[DMC]

Odom with Dirk...

You got your season cut out for you.

[DJ Mbenga]

lakers gonna try their hardest to get him without trading pau. we shall see

[rayjayjohnson]

lol odum gonna cry again

[DPG21920]

I don't think he has to be traded.

I believe Sacramento gave up their rights to him.

Ya, I get that, but I just don't see him taking a 1 year deal, but if Cubes can pull that off, hat's off to him for a stellar off season.

But if it's just Odom, losing a starter/perfect fit in Tyson for what you say to be a back up PF to a guy that plays 38mins doesn't make a ton of sense (again, because Odom isn't a natural SF IMO and didn't play there all that much with LA IIRC)

[DMC]

yeah dallas still has haywood down low and will bring in another big. dirk stays at pf and odom off the bench easy really
Odom and Terry off the bench, or is JT still coming off the bench? If so, that 2nd unit could make the playoffs on their own.

[IronMexican]

Any chance they can get Howard without trading Bynum?

[DMC]

lol odum gonna cry again
His Twitter gonna get hacked again tonight.

[Giuseppe]

Odom with Dirk...

No. Seriously, aren't we going to make fun of Odom crying on the radio and running around Staples crying? And make fun of his wife the cow?

I know I am.:ihit

[mavs>spurs]

Any chance they can get Howard without trading Bynum?

why would you want both? neither can play the 4, and both are roughly the same age, except dwight is a superstar. you'd keep pau to play next to dwight before you kept bynum.

[stretch]

I would not want Carter at all man, a chucker who is well past his time! Why would you want Carter starting ahead of Jet? I would aim for Dalembert and forget Vince on the team. Dalembert would be good for you.

I honestly think they are aiming for Carter to try to butter up Dwight, since they are great buddies. Plus, if they were to trade for Dwight, they will likely lose some of their wing players, and will need depth. I don't mind VC if he accepts a Stackhouse type role, which he will have to. And at this point in his career, he probably knows he needs to take a smaller role.

Besides, if he sucks ass, or brings nothing of legit value to the team, Carlisle won't play him.

But I am very hopeful they get Dalembert. I think signing him and getting Odom potentially > re-signing Tyson Chandler.

[Giuseppe]

except dwight is a superstar

:rolleyesHere, let me jack off to that vision.

[Giuseppe]

They'll put Khloe out to pasture at Southfork.

[IronMexican]

[stretch]

Bynum would cry his way out of LA if he is the backup. Not a good idea. Much better to try to keep Pau than Bynum.

[DPG21920]

Dwight to Dallas is really far fetched. Nothing is impossible, but it would be incredibly difficult for Dallas to do.

[skut_farkus]

G whats you opinion on this whole ordeal? i know your not a fan of dwight, but what the hell is lakers f/o up to?

Sure, Laker fan will shit on him before he ever gets the jersey off.

[stretch]

I agree its still a pipedream, but if a trade goes down, i guarantee a 100% chance it involves 3+ teams. That changes the game up completely and makes it a much greater possibility. For instance, perhaps Atlanta would want to be in on it, since Josh Smith wants out apparently. Atlanta also really needs a legit center, and move Horford back to the 4.

You could have a trade core of Smith going to Orlando, Howard going to Dallas, and Haywood going to Atlanta, along with other moving parts, expiring contracts, and draft picks.

[stretch]

No shit. Repeat yourself again, short shit.

Oh, yeah, I declared hands off on the Chandler loss, but, I'm comin' after 'em with both barrels on Odom & Chubs.

:lol You are repeating yourself non stop girl. In fact you are copying my take of it taking a third team (which I can prove by posting when I first said it, vs you. )

[stretch]

No idea. Either way, I'd be pretty damn happy with an offseason of adding Dalembert, Odom, and Fernandez.

The only loss that really hurt was Chandler, but IMO Dalembert + Odom > Chandler.

And losing Barea has the potential to be a blessing in disguise, because it will give us a chance to see what Roddy is really made of. If he plays well, kickass. If he doesnt, oh well, at least we now know, and can move on from him.

[Giuseppe]

odom is a good signing on condition that we can't get howard. bros we never really had a chance of getting howard tbh dude never says he wants to play for dallas, its not like we could have otherwise signed howard instead of odom and signing odom had killed our chance of signing howard

[Ice009]

Dirk can't play 38 minutes a night with this kind of schedule, so picking up Odom is a great signing. You'll be able to give more rest to Dirk as Odom should be a very decent backup.

Great move from Cuban to not overpay Chandler. If you can get someone like Dalembert as well this would be some great work from Cuban.

[DPG21920]

Stretch, BTW, the reason I say Dalembert deal is likely dead is because they needed the trade in order to get him a salary high enough to tempt him enough into accepting a 1 year deal. W/ the TE gone, Mavs are over the cap and can only offer MLE starting at 5M per year and they do not want to sign long-term deals. Even if they amnesty Brenda, they will only have about 8M to offer in the first year.

[DPG21920]

thanks scroh, tbh

BTW you act like an annoying punk ass sometimes.

[m>s]

if i could trade LO + trashes for DH i'd do it in a heartbeat. TC is going where money is, it really upset me but just 24 hours later it turned out to be a bliss, fuck yeah things changed so fast

[stretch]

BTW you act like an annoying punk ass sometimes.

As do you. :toast

[DPG21920]

Even though Dwight is a pipe dream IMO, I wouldn't be surprised to see Dallas go after CP3 hard. If Dallas is willing to take CP3 without assurances he resigns, they could offer Odom (whom we know the Hornets want), Kidd & Roddy + draft pick for Paul + bad contract.

That package is wayyyyyyyyyyy better than LA's offer because it gets them about equal talent to compete this year, but LO AND Kidd are expiring contracts and they would get a pick plus a young asset with some potential. Makes a lot of sense for both teams.

Ok.

[m>s]

great centers don't grow on trees imho. seems we're stronger on paper with TC gone and LO/VC in but we're still in search of a good C and we're not very likely to end up getting one that we're 100% satisfied with. there's no guarantee dale will join dallas and even if he does join us, it'll remain a question whether he can get into our system as well as TC did. you had awesome chemistry with your old guys and you won the championship, it doesn't make much sense to reshuffle it and remake a squad which looks stronger but aren't guaranteed to be so.

[Kyle Orton]

Just a few years ago, our FO was too stagnant and didn't do shit even after the finals loss. It's great to see that Cuban n Donnie are still tryin to win more and not just mail it in.

Just stop, DPG. Most GM's, Hornets fans, media disagrees with you.
1. Most of your compadres upstairs still bitch over losing scola to Rox
2. Martin is one of the most efficient scorers, though he sucks on defense.
3. Odom is the reigning 6th man and is a high level rebounder ...I really hoped he does well ...bit not in dallas we have no one to guard him.
4. Dragic has potential ...but he did regress last year.

[stretch]

Ok.

Bend over.

I'll give you a reason to say Ok.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This was a salary dump, no Howard for the Lakers. An LA Time reporter is saying the Lakers were looking to shed salary.

According to RealGM:

The Lakers will trade Lamar Odom to the Mavericks for a traded player exception.

The move is not necessarily to pursue Dwight Howard, as sources say it is a "straight salary dump".

[mavs>spurs]

I don't want CP3 tbh. who the fuck would he be facilitating to and setting up? Dirk operates best off an iso in the high post, he doesn't need CP3 playmaking and dribbling the ball to do his thing. Exactly what good would paul do on the mavs? Especially for a 1 year rental.

Now paul may >>>> LO as a player, but on the mavs LO > Paul

[DPG21920]

You don't think Dirk is good enough to convince him to stay?

[stretch]

Nothing on this Mav fan?

I'm already hearing Clippers jumping in on CP3 sweepstakes now.

Interesting idea on Mavs getting him, but still not incredibly likely. Dallas would only get him if he agrees to stay more than a year, which we have no idea on his view of Dallas.

[mavs>spurs]

no not really, the other superstars sort of shun dirk who is getting old btw and isn't a good incentive for paul to sign here long term. aside from that, for the mavs LO > paul

[adrienne]

I think if they were going to make a big push for a trade, it would be for Dwight. And that's not as likely as pushing for Deron Williams next year. Which still probably won't happen. So, basically, nobody.

[m>s]

odom ain't the final solution imho. we're still searching for a decent C but the invaluable TE has been used already.

great centers don't grow on trees imho. seems we're stronger on paper with TC gone and LO/VC in but we're still in search of a good C and we're not very likely to end up getting one that we're 100% satisfied with. there's no guarantee dale will join dallas and even if he does join us, it'll remain a question whether he can get into our system as well as TC did. you had awesome chemistry with your old guys and you won the championship, it doesn't make much sense to reshuffle it and remake a squad which looks stronger but aren't guaranteed to be so.

I believe you are spot on.

[Nathan89]

Just stop, DPG. Most GM's, Hornets fans, media disagrees with you.
1. Most of your compadres upstairs still bitch over losing scola to Rox
2. Martin is one of the most efficient scorers, though he sucks on defense.
3. Odom is the reigning 6th man and is a high level rebounder ...I really hoped he does well ...bit not in dallas we have no one to guard him.
4. Dragic has potential ...but he did regress last year.

:lol Most

I've seen at least one guy NBAtv talking about how it was a bad trade because it makes them a 7th seed. The worse position in the league to be.

That is why I said most ...

I could post plenty of articles that disagree with plenty of executives quoted that Demps did a great job. Whatever.

Again, Im glad the trade was nixed (assuming we get someone else) we gave up too much IMHO. I said that from day 1. If Paul wasnt coming with knee concerns maybe I would of felt different.
Sure Pau and Lamar are over 30 but yet they are championship bigs.

What I dont get is us giving Lamar (tear and all) away for practically nothing ...In Mitch I trust ...but he better not mess this up.

[DMC]

I don't get how you trade the 6th man of the year the following year without getting something really substantial. How hard would you have to look even in the lottery to find a player of that quality?

[m>s]

the crunch time lineups will be kidd/JET/Marion/Odom/Dirk which doesn't look too bad imho

[m>s]

lakers are going to land paul guaranteed, trading odom for TE was just sort of a preparation. hornets don't want Odom but they would hardly say no to a TE which counts ZERO to their payroll.

According to the "sources", LA/Paul isn't going to happen.

[Blouses]

Per Eddie Sefko of the DMN, the Mavs will be able choose any of their first rounds over the next six years to send to LA in the Odom deal.
Dallas' first rounder -- whenever it comes into play -- will also be top-20 protected.

lol lakers federally fucked
lol mark cuban is smarter than everyone

[mavsfan1000]

looking forward to seeing what the lakers have up their sleeve.

Odom/Dallas trade shot down by NBA: "Basketball reasons"

:wow

:lmao :flag: :lmao

[Texas Chili Dog]

Cuban would beat us all in a game of chess. To me, this trade is all about keeping Dwight Howard away from the Nets. If he ends up in LA as a result, so be it. But the Mavs are creating a better package for the Lakers to use to present to the Magic, to compete with the ones the Nets will offer. The last thing the Mavs want is for Deron Williams to have a reason to sign an extension with the Nets. And having Howard as his teammate would make that almost a certainty.

[Mav-elous Man]

At least the Khloe jokes will cease.

tee, hee.


But they will start here in Dallas. Can we trade her away or is she a package deal?

[cobbler]

Rumor has it that E! Online producers Eliot Goldberg and Khloe Kardashian-Odom are writing a letter demanding Stern void the trade. Apparently copies will be sent to DPG along with the Brooklyn and Golden Gate Bridge deeds. :lol

Odom, if you get him out of the upcomming funk, will be a good fit for the Mavs. Him and Dirk would present outside length matchups.

[TDMVPDPOY]

killabobe

losing scola on the cheap to the rockets might hurt the spurs,

but ever since drafting him and not being able to sign him, spurs had one 2 rings in that timespan...are we pissed? no, but 2 rings is better then nothing....

[Spur_Fanatic]

If true, great sign by Dallas.

Still, I fear the Lakers more when they have team spots open...

[Jodelo]

Dirk and Odom on the same team? Mavs vs. Spurs is going to be like Kobe vs. a drunk white women festival.

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[m>s]

odom is quite a good player to say the least, with superb versatility and plenitude of experience however only time will time if he's the right signing for dallas, or not. in 06 summer the mavs signed dickbreath which at that time was believed to be also a good signing, DB was a solid squad player and he had experiences of winning the championship.

hope LO doesn't turn out to be another DB tbh

[sefant77]

potentially epic shit by the Mavs and Lakers FO.

Cuban helps cockblocking Dwight/Deron, so LA has the tools to land Dwight and Deron has no reason to stay in NJ and coming back to sign with his hometown Dallas

:lol

[21_Blessings]

It's a trap.

Odom is going to destroy any locker room chemistry Dallas thought they have; good riddance. Enjoy your Trojan Horse :toast

[Josepatches_]

If Howard goes to Brooklyn then Lakers lose Odom for nothing

No Howard no Paul.It would be epic fail too

[m>s]

its one actual possibility tbh, he may as well accept a supporting role on this team (like marion) and i don't think it'd be too hard for him to accept such a role since he's been playing a similar role for years on lakers squad.

if he turns out to be another dickbreath, for the worst scenario, we would amnesty the shit out of him before he can cause any harm to our harmony tbh

No need to amnesty dummy...he's an expiring contract...can be traded

:elephant

[DPG21920]

Mavs can't amnesty Odom.

[m>s]

not true, LO has two years left but the final year only has 3m guaranteed, if he plays bad in the trimmed season and proves not a worthwhile signing then we can pay him the 3m guaranteed money anytime before Jul.31 (after the season is done, of course) and kick him the fuck out immediately.

[m>s]

the amnesty should be reserved for brendan haywood, its too precious to be wasted on LO imho

It is true, they cannot amnesty him, that is different from what you are saying. I agree about just cutting him, but that is not amnesty, it's different.

Once we squeeze every ounce of butthurt from Lakerfan over this, we will resume the Crydashian bashing.

[PGDynasty24]

Good luck with him. He's a broken spirit,after listening to him cry on the radio I knew even though the trade had been blocked that he was done

[Giuseppe]

I smell San Antonio Mavericks

[Sportcamper]

Come on…Odom was 6th man of the year and one of the top 5 players in the NBA “every third game”…

CIA Cuban played this one beautifully…:toast
