Mavs dug themselves in a hole with a stupid trade, we're not going anywhere with this team the way it is now might as well take the chance.
Kaman hasn't played since November, so it's more like Kidd's expiring for Davis. They do this deal, and you'll be ing about Davis' contract in 2012 when he's 35 and the Mavs still haven't made it past the second round. The Mavs should've done Kidd for Billups if they ever had a chance at that.
probably one of those fans who think we can land Lebron
Baron Davis is only injury prone when he's on a sucky team.
Maybe Baron can show Dirk the power of the beard and come playoff time he will be hitting fadeaways from half court
Baron next to Dirk would be a sick duo.
Dumbass mavs. It's not that Kidd < Baron. But I think he fits the team better. they need to get a shooting PG that can get hot. baron would be good match
but what else can you expect from that dumb mav organization
on a side note, can somebody take a good look at the Clippers roster and tell me how they are ing the second worst team in basketball by a half game?
Baron Davis
Marcus Camby
Chris Kaman
Al Thornton
Fred Jones
Eric Gordon
Ricky Davis
some people here actually thought they would compete for a championship
Kaman is set to come back after the All-Star break.
So do you want to make a run at a le with Dirk or just blow it up? Your miracle isn't going to happen. This trade puts a considerably larger amount of talent around Dirk, along with a guy who has game-tested brass balls come playoff time (Kaman, too.....literally).
As of right now, the window for a le is barely open and will be slammed shut in a year. This trade would not only open up the window a little larger, it would keep the window open another 2-3 years.
Still haven't seen anything about this on the interwebs, so maybe it was just one of the wishfull thinking I heard it wrong kind of things.
I can understand being a bit timid about panic trades after the 'Kidd for our future' fiasco, but if anything, the Kidd trade made Dirk's window even smaller. You can either play it safe and all but count on having to rebuild, or you can take a chance that Baron and Kaman might work out with Dirk, Howard, and Terry.
Assuming things went well, you might be able to make a decent run in the playoffs (you might also want to get another player for Stackhouse). If things went badly, the only difference would be 1 or 2 more years before you could start rebuilding in earnest.
They talked about it on espn news for 3-4 minutes. Cuban immediately declined, there isn't much story there
i'd be more willing to do camby/davis. I don't trust big men with foot problems.
But I think when the possibility of Davis/Kaman is broached with Dirk, his German eyes will sparkle at the thought of another tall blond guy.
Its not just that Kaman looks ing re ed. I would think twice about my fanhood if he ever got traded here
For those Mavs fans that want Baron Davis, is there any concern about:
keeping him motivated or his reputation as a coach-killer?
He thought Brand was going to resign. That was the whole point in going to Clippers. To make them a powerhouse. Instead they basically ended up replacing Brand with Baron.
If this is true.....the Mavs are freakin retarted.
Davis
Terry
Howard
Nowitzki
Kaman
thats a damn good lineup.
Those same concerns were there for Jason Kidd.
I agree. That said, with an aging Mavs roster and a closing window, it's pretty much time to swing for the fence because nothing's looking brighter down the road. If both of them play well the Mavs could put together a playoff run.
Well guys looks as if I have been unintentionally trolling. I've been watching espn news for over an hour and have yet to see them mention this news again. Although there is a Kidd for Davis/Camby rumor on another board.
The funny thing is me and a friend both saw it, looked at eachother and said what a dumbass.
That trade would have made the Mavs a lot better. A lot of pressure would have been taken off of Dirk as well. They should have done it.
Foolish Mavs. Getting Dirk a complimentary low post threat is worth the trade.
Good job Cuban, Spurs already had enough compe ion with LA

MAVERICKS: Jason Kidd
• See this trade in the ESPN Trade Machine
Why they'd do it: The Mavs want to be relevant again, and adding Shaq in the middle could help. He's having an All-Star year, and the Mavs can surround him with shooters. Although Kidd has played well, he's not the player he was, and Jason Terry could take over in his stead.
The Suns would be getting $21 million of cap room. And how would they handle the awkward situation of having both Kidd and Nash again? Probably by waiving Kidd.
Why they wouldn't: Mark Cuban's pockets aren't as deep as they used to be. Adding Shaq would cost him roughly $40 million next year after factoring in the luxury tax hit. That's a lot of cash.
