My guess is we just bought a pick from Memphis for around $3 million.

My guess is we just bought a pick from Memphis for around $3 million.
I'm not going to trade him for David Lee, which is supposedly what the Knicks offered for him. Whatever else you may say about Howard, he's young, he's been an All-Star, and he's coming off a 3-month stretch that was the worst of his career. You don't sell him off for 50 cents on the dollar.
Josh Howard is like Billy Dee Williams.
Sure he hit women and and may be a hack as an actor, but the guy was ing Lando Calrissian once! How can you forget that? Ignore all the other - ING LANDO, DUDE! LANDO! Mother er was smooth as in knocking out the Death Star.

Look at that lavender cape!
No doubt! Remember how sweet he was? Now, give us your ing #2 pick and a player for him.
And introducing.....Shan Foster!

I can't wait to see him kick all kinds of ass next year in the D-League and/or Europe.
The Mavericks are such a ing joke. Fire Donnie.
When the Heat can turn around and swipe Chalmers for future 2nds and cash, you know the Mavs office is a ing joke that can't get anything done. CDR continued to fall and these sticks couldn't get off their asses to make a push. We'll likely hear from the Nets that the Mavs made an offer of Juwan Howard and $28.50, thinking it was enough.
These heads need to figure it out.
You are a moron...I like the pick..due is solid...great shooter...might be able to contribute in a couple years![]()
yeah he'll be bad ass when Kidd is gone and Dirk is past his prime.
Now Bill Walker sold for cash.
See how easy it is, Mavs office? Pick up the ing phone and make something happen.
Jet was being shopped around tonight.
Even the Clippers are making moves.
This is embarrassing.
If I hear "we like our team" tomorrow I'm going to go ing insane.
You guys a losers....waaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaa...cry me a river. STFU already...sit back and just wait. It's just basketball afterall...WGAS anyway![]()
We know it's "just basketball". That's why we're here, discussing "basketball".
Where did Walker go?
Celtics

Picks were too rich for Mavs' blood

Donnie Nelson said the Mavs were "active" late in the first round and at various points in the second round. But teams wanted more cash for picks than Mark Cuban was willing to cough up.
"We didn't feel the price was right," Nelson said.
I asked specifically about Memphis SG Chris Douglas-Roberts. Nelson acknowledged that the Mavs were surprised CDR slipped as far as he did. However, Nelson indicated that the Mavs thought Shan Foster's shooting ability made him a better fit than CDR, a slasher.
"We really were looking for somebody who can shoot and spread the court," Nelson said. "Shan is a heck of a pick at 51."

Aaaaaaaaand with that explanation, I'm off to sucker punch my wife in the head while she sleeps. That's EXACTLY what the Mavs need - a ing shooter over a slasher. I think Foster is a good pick, but it's not they have a team full of slashers already.
When the did Cuban turn into Tom Hicks? Just kill me now. No funeral.
Dammit i was hoping the mavs could get him just cause hes a k-state guy. boston was one of the last places i wanted to see him go. he should have stayed another year or two in college anyways. hopefully they don't keep him and someone else, hopefully dallas can get him.
I don't get it, either. If they were asking too much in straight up cash, then why not sweeten it with future 2nds? - even the CLIPPERS swapped in the 2nd. You know your front office is crap when the Clippers show more moxy than you.
