Official Dallas Mavericks Offseason Speculation Thread

Actually, it would be nice to hear the reasoning why Diop was named a scrub not 6 months ago, but nowadays commands a full MLE?
Some change of heart by Cubes!

I don't understand it either.

Ask him yourself, got.

FA pool is shallow in the names of guys the Mavs would feasibly be able to attain. Teams are looking at George, EJones re-signs, JJB supposedly re-signs for a stupid amount...smells like S&Ts to me.

The 3 year, $3.5 million amount being reported sounds like a 1 year guaranteed SnT contract to me. I have a sinking feeling the Mavs are about to send a load of garbage back to New Jersey for another overrated, washed-up "star."

I really don't want to talk myself into "maybe Vince just needs a change of scenery to give a again..."

Maybe Donnie can hold a press conference telling everyone how active they're going to be in the trade market and how they have specific "trigger points" or whatever. That will put Mavfan Nation at ease.

Didn't Vince and Kidd not get along by the time Kidd left NJ?

Sadly. The had something in the works on draft night, but it never came to fruition.

Maybe they can get Marcus Williams out of the deal.

it. Vince Carter can put up 20/5/5 in his sleep. He's been doing it for years. I'll take that with the glimmer of hope that maybe he wakes up. A motivated Carter is a top 5 player.

I'd love that. Maybe the shelf-life for Vince playing hard is 82 games. He did pick it up when he first joined the Nets.

That's really all we can hope for. He really turned it on right after being traded to NJ. And of course, if he comes here, at a certain point he'll flip the on-off switch firmly to off.

He's not going to the Clippers, so what do you care?

Vince would be awesome. Definitely fills the SG void.

but seems way too pipedreamish.

[dallaskd]

Diop with the full MLE??? im tired of the mavs FO. Im feeling to fully jump on the Sixers bandwagon cus the Clippers wagon seems to be full right now.

El armador boricua completó ayer los exámenes físicos que exige la organización de los Mavericks de Dallas para hacer valer el acuerdo final que alcanzó en principio por dos años y una opción para un tercer término por 4.8 millones de dólares.

http://www.primerahora.com/noticia/b...ontrato/206587

Translation: Jose Juan Barea and the Mavericks agree in principle to a 3 year contract worth $4.8M with a player option on the 3rd year.

EDIT: It's a team option, not player option.

[SynicFan]

thats GREAT news!

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I know, huh.

That's crazy.

If Cuban is still ready to spend some money on Mavs, they should try to get after Vince Cater. He doesn't fit Nets rebuilding plan so he should be on the trading block and his trade value is low given his huge contract.

[confined]

this just doesn't make sense for the mavs if they plan on keeping barea, he is barely and NBA player and he gets a 4 yr deal? There has to be a trade coming.
i for one would be thrilled if VC came to dallas

[monosylab1k]

something else has to be brewing. there's no other explanation for a deal as idiotic as the JJ Barea signing. either Donnie & Cuban are on the verge of making a huge move, or they're so in love with this team that it's completely clouded their judgement.

This offseason will make Donnie Nelson's legacy. He'll either go down as the guy who kept the next-gen Mavericks alive and possibly built a championship winning team, or the idiot that killed them off completely.

[ElNono]

I think Cubes can get carried away, like with JKidd, but he just isn't THAT stupid.
This definitely looks like they're building a package for some big name player. We'll see who he is.

El jugador norteamericano James Singleton ha rescindido su contrato con Saski-Baskonia tras acogerse a la cláusula del mismo que le permitía fichar por un equipo de la NBA si lo comunicaba antes del 21 de julio, ha informado el club español.

Su destino será probablemente los Dallas Mavericks. Singleton firmó un año con el TAU, esta temporada pasada, pero se lesionó de gravedad en una rodilla al inicio en septiembre pasado, en la Supercopa.

Translation: James Singleton has used his NBA opt-out clause and is leaving his European club Saski-Baskonia to reportedly sign with the Dallas Mavericks.
