You guys think there' ANY chance the Mavs will resign kidd next year?
I've never ed much about the Harris trade but the thought of giving away 2 #1's and a 25 YO PG for 1.5 years of Kidd's services is kinda grinding my gears now.
Good one.Whatta bunch of gots those hapless mavs and their moronin fans!

If he doesn't return, then the Mavs truly pissed away his value by not shopping his expiring contract at this year's deadline.
But being locked in to Baron Davis & Chris Kaman would have been so ing horrible compared to losing Kidd for nothing, not getting anybody in 2010, and having Dirk leave as well cuz he's so pissed at the incompetence.
Yep.
, Kaman and Davis are turrable bro.
Yeah they're a serious downgrade from JJ Barea and Ryan Hollins. Can't wait till those guys are starters next season.
Barea/Green/Hollins/Williams YOUTH MOVEMENT BABY!
Green, Hollins and Bass are FA in the offseason so screw your youth movement
Shawne Williams!!1
Green and Williams are the only guys who are NBA starter material. Barea's a sideshow act who occasionally looks good, Hollins is a solid backup.
Ghazi do you watch Mavs games or are you too busy waving the pom poms to actually pay attention?
Hey it's Ghazi!!!!!!!
Hey it's Ghazi!!!!!!!
Barea's a legit backup PG IMO.
I'm very concerned about our beloved Dirk's decline in shooting. I posted it in another forum and I'll post it here.
Well guys I was bored today and I was looking at stats and they kinda confirmed what my eye balls had been telling me: Dirk's shooting by his lofty standards is not that great this year!
The formula for True shooting % is total points scored * 50 / field goal attempts + (free throw attempts * .44). Using this formula for Dirk his TS % this year is 55.5, which is his worst since his ROOKIE season!
His best TS % year of course was his 90/50/40 year, at 60.5%
The interesting thing last year after the Kidd trade was Dirk was an absolute monster. 25.4 PPG on 17.7 shots. 50% from the field, 89% from the line, and 48% from behind the arc. Damn near close to the 90/50/50 club! His true shooting % was 61.4%, which if it was extrapolated over a whole year would be his career high.
It is a shame that Dirk's monsterous rise in production was offset by J-Ho's significant dip. Who knows how last year turns out if J-Ho didn't mail it in?
But since the ASB this year he's only shooting 45.8% from the field, and has only made 11 of 36 3-pointers. his true shooting % is 52.9% since the ASB.
But this year our beloved Dirk's TS % is down because he takes less threes and only makes them at 36%, gets to the line less frequently, and is "only" shooting 47% from the field.
To put in perspective, Dirk has 12 more points this year than he did all of last year, but it's required 125 more shots!
So what do we make of all this? Is Dirk's shooting down because the surrounding lack of offensive talent is forcing him into a higher volume of lesser quality shots? Is it age? Is he declining? Nursing an injury? Is he sapped of his injury because of the heart break of the refs stealing our beloved 2006 NBA Championship and the Warriors hitting a bunch of fluky shots along with the marginal basketball product of this year? I dunno!
Dirk is far from the problem for the beloved Mavs of course, but he is not playing at the level we need him to. Just my opinion. Not hating on our beloved Dirk, just pointing out that his shooting and efficiency has really dipped this year and maybe has cost us 2-3 games that we would've otherwise won.
Also, Dirk's only shooting 39% over the last 5 games. I'm sure he'll get out of the slump, just saying.
Some more stats:
From the stand point of PER, this is his worst year since 2003-2004, it's also his worst year as far as rebound rate since that year.
Sorry if this post is too "statty" .
But discuss amongst yourselves.
that is one of many failed attempts by the mavs in-game promo department. The sad thing is that there are some mavs fans at the game that get off on this type of garbage
Spurs will get curb stomped by the Boys in Blue
