Why did the Mavs do this? Okur is awful and Red is no better than Terry.
Haven't seen this anywhere else. Okur and Red would fit in with their 2012 cap space but who is there to sign now if true?
WTF!? Did Sarver take over as GM? Or did Cuban pull strings to ensure Dwight did not end up in LA's hands?
edit: HMM source... waiting for more.
Mavs traded Haywood, Jones and Marion supposedly for Okur/Red + 2nd rounder. Clears a lot of cap space.
wtf? This makes no sense for Dallas.
Dallas gets nobody significant and gets much worse after this. Maybe they're trying to get a package together for Cousins?
Ahhh so it's
Mavs send : Jones + Haywood + Marion
Mavs get : Okur + Red + 2nd round pick
Magic send : Howard + Turkoglu + Duhon + Red
Magic get : Lopez + Jones + Haywood + 4 first round picks
Nets send : Lopez + Morrow + 4 first round picks + 2nd round pick
Nets get : Howard + Marion + Turkoglu + Duhon
Maybe, but they clear a lot of money if this is true. Problem is it's all for nothing since the big names are gone in FA next year. It gives them a ton of flexibility though.
Haven't seen this anywhere else though.
The Mavs have put A LOT of chips in the "signing Dwight Howard" basket. Hard for me to believe they'd be the 3rd team to facilitate a trade where Howard goes to a new team and signs an extension.
LMAO "@InsideNBASource"
why in should the mavs do this?
Is this fo real?
Seems ty for the Mavs.
i dont believe this, nothing else anywhere
Why would an ESPN site be in Foxboro?
I call bull that the account doesn't even have 1000 followers, whereas Woj has 174 thousand
I don't see how it's ty for the Mavs all that much. Only having to dump Marion and Jones to get rid of Haywood? Okur can't be that much worse than Haywood and JJ is better than Jones and they clear up a ton of cap space. Now, the big 3 FA's are off the market, but it still gives them a ton of flexibility.
Agreed and none of the followers are actual writers.
Flexibility to do what? Replace the role players they're trading with other role players? They wouldn't voluntarily take themselves out of the running for Dwight when they let Tyson go specifically so they could go after Dwight.
There's no doubt that classless piece of trash did it to with the Lakers. I've said it before and I'll say it again. People would rather see the Lakers lose than their OWN team win.
Not only did the league get together to prevent us from getting Paul, but now we have to deal with this bull . The league revolves around us whether you like it or not and wants to keep us from winning. It's amazing we've won so many rings DESPITE the league conspiring against us.
