Mavs keep getting better and better: they just got Darren Collison

[SpurPadre]

...and Dahntay Jones from the Pacers for Ian Mahinmi. Damn.

[ElNono]

:lol letting Ian walk

[hooperflash]

Mavs suck.

[sasffl]

Robbery. Pacers need Ian's 6 fouls

[SpurPadre]

Collison> old fart Kidd

Collison> Jason Terry

And Mahinmi fucking sucks and Kaman is better than him. Dallas got better, much better.

Don't blow a fucking gasket. They were decent moves but lets not overreact.

[mexicanjunior]

The Pacers got fleeced on this one...Collison is a starter and Jones would be a very solid backup SG...Mahimi is a nothing more than a 4th big on the Pacers, behind Hibbert, West and Hansborough. Only way I see this making sense is if Hibbert has already decided to go to Portland.

[SpurPadre]

Don't blow a fucking gasket. They were decent moves but lets not overreact.

I'm not blowing a gasket unless you have magical powers and can teleport to where I am and can see my demeanor while I'm typing. They made needed moves that makes them better than what they were this past season.

[ernest787]

i don't understand the trade for Indiana unless they are getting ready to make another trade here shortly

[SpurPadre]

They seem to want Hill to be the starting PG but they're also looking into getting DJ Augustin.

[Vic Petro]

They finished 7th this year and replaced Jason Terry with Darren Collison. They'll finish right around 7th again. Not a threat.

[SenorSpur]

Mavs are stacked. :rolleyes

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Replacing Kidd/Terry with Collison/Jones? That's totally STAAAAAAAAACKED.

[SpurPadre]

I'm not going to underestimate the Mavs, they've won a Championship more recently than we have too. A Dirk and Kaman tandem will be formidable in the front court and Collison is better than Kidd right now. Sure, they may still be a couple pieces away from truly contending but I'm not gonna look down on them yet.

[DesignatedT]

lol

[BatManu20]

Dirk and Kaman will be arguably the worst defensive front court in the West. They're an average team right now even with these moves.

[T Park]

GNSF strikes again.

[freetiago]

collison lost the PG spot to george hill
hes not very good
indianas problem will always be not having a star player/pg who cant create for others
not much of a difference between him and the savior sessions really

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

:lol letting Ian walk

If there's something to complain about (because there's always something to complain about) then it would be not keeping Ian around. Spurs went with Blair (which at the time was an understandable move) but now they can't even trade him for a Whataburger and fries.

Who cares about Dallas? The Spurs are still the better team.

[slick'81]

lol kaman and collison big prizes

[crc21209]

Eh...good, not GREAT players. I still see them as a 6 seed at best, 8 seed or lower at worst.

[ElNono]

It's not as much as how good Collison or Jones are, it's how much they got for 2 fouls/minute... Plus they needed to get younger in the perimeter, and this move does that for them...

[wildbill2u]

Mavs had tried for much bigger fish but came up empty before today. Talentwise they are way behind their championship team.

[Steve-O-Matic]

Collison sucks. The Mavs got him because at this point they're desperate for bodies to fill out their roster and didn't have a single pure PG to speak of, plus he's in the final year of his contract. There's a reason IND gave him away for a backup center, and why he's already now on his 3rd team of his brief career. He doesn't see the floor, can't shoot from 3-pt range, and is a horrid, undersized defender. Collison actually had the worst Plus/Minus in the entire league - all players! - during the 2010/11 season. Collison is a middling backup at best, and a flat out liability as a starter. The Mavs didn't get better, they got dumber.

[racm]

Collison is also undersized. Sure he's got a good vertical (6 feet but dunks) but bigger guards will hamper him.

[benefactor]

This is your second crybaby thread in a row. Give it a fucking rest.

[dd99]

why still underestimate Mahinmi? He will be more useful than Bonner and Blair comes playoffs!

[100%duncan]

Ahhhh.... Darren Collison, another overrated n!gga

[Knoxxx]

At first I thought that was the big white guy from OKC, pretty decent player, and was like how in the world?

In this case, YAWN...

[Bruno]

WoW
$16M/4 years for Mahinmi

Anyway, I'm happy for him. He is a nice hard working guy who got hsi first child so it's great he got all that money.

Mavs are doing well regarding the constraint of only taking 1 year contracts but their summer is still a disaster. I don't get why Paces have added another center after re-singing Hibbert to a mac contract and drafting a center with a late first round pick.

[racm]

Not to mention Plumlee doing well in Summer League...

[lefty]

Spurstalk keep getting worse: they just got SpursPadre

[stxspurs]

OP ooh noooooes Lol.

[jmanu20]

The Mavs were a 7th seed before these moves.

I don't even know if they are still a playoff team especially with the Wolves and Jazz on the rise.

[CGD]

Never understood the fascination with Collision. He's decent, but probably a solid backup at best (e.g., Chris Duhon). I mean the guy just got traded away bc the Pacers thought a tweener could run the point better.

[SpurPadre]

It's not as much as how good Collison or Jones are, it's how much they got for 2 fouls/minute... Plus they needed to get younger in the perimeter, and this move does that for them...

THANK YOU. Finally someone with some brains, here unlike that T. Park idiot here using the lazy "GNSF strikes again" response.

You're an idiot and you know nothing about basketball.

[SpurPadre]

A bunch of punk ass cyber bullies here. Relax, it's just a fucking thread.

It was a good trade for the Mavs.

The premise of your thread (Mavs keep getting better and better) is still ridiculous. The Mavs got progressively much, much worse from where they were in June 2011 to where they were a few days ago. They are making some moves to repair some of the damage, but still remain significantly worse than they were a little more than a year ago.

[CubanMustGo]

You're an idiot and you know nothing about basketball.

From your posting history I'd wager he's not alone in that assessment.

[SpurPadre]

Actually, I'd argue from the posting history of those with over 1,000 posts, you guys just like to go out of your way to insult those with much less posting history just because.

No bullying...just questioning your quality. Your past two threads have :cryLakers are going to get Howard:cry and :cryOh noes dey Mavs are getting good again:cry. Try giving the whining a rest and start talking about basketball.

[TheCerebral1]

Collison was a monumental disappointment in Indiana. Not to say anything but, George Hill who didn't look great is better than him. It's a good get considering that they had no options outside of maybe Sessions who isn't a great facilitating guard. Kaman was a good add too.

[trollt]

why so butthurt?

[SpurinDallas]

F The Mavs! This was Rick Carlisle's quote a few days ago: "With a little luck, we could be playoff contenders". What a joke they have quickly become. :lol

[SpurPadre]

Alright, it's all rah-rah-rah, here. I get it now and I'll adjust my posts but I'm gonna call it like I see it, too.

[dbestpro]

Collison is no better than Patty Mills and Kaman at this point in his career is no better than Splitter. Two Mav starters are no better than two Spur bench players. So what?

[lefty]

:cry

[Mel_13]

Alright, it's all rah-rah-rah, here. I get it now and I'll adjust my posts but I'm gonna call it like I see it, too.

You don't get it. You caught grief because your posts were emo and whiny and lacked a good basketball foundation, not because you weren't rah-rah enough.

[SpurPadre]

Alright, alright fair enough. I'm ready to move on.

[Brazil]

Collinson sucks

:lol loosing his starting PG profit to George 0.3 assist per game Hill

[Spurtacus]

I'd still taking Kidd > Collision if I'm going for a championship.

Kaman was a good pickup though. Definite upgrade over Haywood.

[dbestpro]

All we have to do is get rid of Bonner and Blair and we wil still have the best off season of any team.

[Seventyniner]

It's easy to get better and better when you bottom out.

[DesignatedT]

With the Pacers looking like they are getting Augustine, this trade looks a little better for them.

[rascal]

Still doesn't look good. They should have gotten more than Mahinmi.

[rascal]

Nope. Lakers getting Nash. Spurs staying the same, signing their own players.

[Obstructed_View]

It's a sign of how bad the Mavs got when you can come up with "Mavs keep getting better and better: they just got Darren Collison".

[tesseractive]

Nope. Lakers getting Nash. Spurs staying the same, signing their own players.
The Nets may have totally screwed their cap, but they went from terrible and utterly unwatchable to a lower-tier playoff team just in time for their move to a new stadium and a new audience. Even if they're still not a contender and they're hemmed-in capwise, it's a fairly sensible set of moves as a way of recruiting new fans.

Lakers are moderately better with Nash. He's clearly a step up from Sessions. But they weren't a serious title contender before, and they're still not one now, IMO.

[e20dylan]

well HOLD ON A MOTHER FUCKING GOD DAMN SECOND

not even in the worst scenario is that true. spurs got the better front court better back court better front office. fuck yourself trash can pussy

Hey fuckface, how come they haven't been able to win shit since 2007 then? You really think Blair, bonner, tiag:lol, and Diaw are better than Kaman, wright, and brand?

[Lincoln]

What the fuck is a "trash can pussy"?

[ElNono]

Lincoln, Niglet!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Mavs are decidedly average. Their entire strategy this offseason is stacking up 1yr contracts so they can have a big run at FAs next off-season. They got the better of this deal, but it's not a difference maker.

[Wild Cobra Kai]

Collison sucks. The Mavs got him because at this point they're desperate for bodies to fill out their roster and didn't have a single pure PG to speak of, plus he's in the final year of his contract. There's a reason IND gave him away for a backup center, and why he's already now on his 3rd team of his brief career.

The Mavs didn't get better, they got dumber.

[Wild Cobra Kai]

Indy traded him for the same reason we traded GHill last summer. He's about to get paid, and they don't have a role for him at that salary.
