But the Clippers have already hammered B-Diddy and Kaman in the same package, no way would they give us Kaman only. We have to swallow Diddy's long contract if we want to get Kaman, for the worst case Carlisle can just nail Diddy at the last margin of our bench, or even pack him in the inactive list. Kaman himself is more than enough to make a big difference to our team.
Kaman has 4 more years on his deal and the Clippers team just plain sucks. Donald Sterling will definetly trade a player with 4 yrs left for 1 year left in Dampier. He tired to spend money and it back fired on him...he is going back to the old Sterling which is saving and making as much money as possible
Cmon, Kaman really sucks.
If the Mavs biggest move this Summer is acquiring Chris mutha in Kaman I will be just as depressed as if they stood pat.
So a center that averged 16 pts 13 reb 3 blks on 49% shooting in 2007-08 sucks...then what the is Dampier?
Im not saying Kaman is the big move they need to make but it is one of many moves that will really improve this team
That's been the big talk.
Here's what will actually happen -
Jack .
B Davis has one more year on contract than Kaman, and he is even more unpredictable than Kaman considering his x-factor style. Since before the trade deadline, the Clippers have been seeking for a buyer that wants to take the package of Kaman&Davis. Their potential buyers generally loved Kaman pretty much, but all got feared back by Davis's contract. If the Clippers agreed to sell them individually, Kaman wouldn't have remained in LA. Kaman is just a bait, what they want to get rid of is not Kaman but Baron Davis who is just like the hook. Even so, we still have to take this gamble.
He only shot 48% that year (for a center? cmon) , he committed 3 TO's per game, he has a pretty low frequency of free throws for a big guy, and he also missed 26 games that year.
I dont watch the Clippers play much (not that it matters since Kaman never ing plays), but I know Chris Kaman sucks. And given the fact that he's been a Clipper for 6 years, he probably has the same loser mentality that has plagued most of our roster after being ed out of a championship in 06 and bombarded with halfcourt 3-PT shots in '07.
Actually by most I was referring to J-Ho and JET
Isn't it amazing what Salvatore's cursed whistle has done?
It turned Dirk from an NBA Champion to a "soft choker who can't get it done" in the eyes of the ignorant (most people).
And it turned Jason Terry from Finals MVP to tweener who doesn't perform in the playoffs. (I suppose he was always a tweener, but still)
My poor guys deserved better. Has Stern no shame destroying legacies and careers and deluding FO's into thinking they need white stiffs and old veterans (RIP QUIS).
dont see the suns wanting anything to do with Caroll's contract...
Waiting for you to admit Kaman sucks and that Jason Terry should've been the Finals MVP.
yes Kaman sucks, I plan to induce Kerr to deal us Shaq, but I haven't got his phone number.
Dirk averages 34.4 points 10.1 reb shoots 52% and 93% and Mavs lose in 5 games
Its just shows you how bad his supporting cast is and hopefully Donnie and Mark see once again that they are wasting Dirk's career
In fairness to Mark and Donnie, they've only wasted 1 year of Dirk's prime. Let's say Dirk's absolute prime started at age 27.
05-06 the whistles wasted it
06-07 the bull shots and Dirk himself wasted it
07-08 J-Ho wasted it (this season could've been much different if J-Ho hadn't went to absolute after the ASB I swear to GOD! Although likely no shot against Celtics small shot against Lakers)
08-09 the FO wasted it. Just wasn't in the cards. Not sure if any movement of personell could've put the Mavs on the level of the Cavs/Lakers/Celtics anyway.
We'll see about 09-10
Kirk Hinrich anyone?
Stack and Damp's expiring contracts will bring us either a couple of other garbage contracts that also expire in 2010, or some valuable contracts that have more years left, like Baron Davis, Kaman and Maggette. What their expirings can bring us are just those useful players trapped in scrub teams, so it's really very hard to find more targets other than Kaman, Davis and Maggette.
Alot of teams are under the false hope that 2010 is the year for them to get a major free agent so they will be looking to acquire expiring deals.....Mavs should and need to take advantage of this to get some very quality players
I think the Bulls will let Gordon walk this summer, considering his poor shows in the series against Celtics, so Hinrich will still be a pretty important role for the Bulls. Only scrub teams want to cut out their long contracts, contenders like Bulls would rather to keep those players than trade them for some expiring garbages.
I think Hinrich's situation depends on Gordon...if Gordon walks then obviously Hinrich will remain a Bull for sure
First Kaman and now Heinrich?
Mavs need an infusion of good players, not scrubs. If you wanna swap our scrubs for other teams' scrubs and go 45-37 fine, but I am holding out hope for something better!
OK Donnie...lets keep Damp Stack J-ho and everyone else bc this core has proven it can make it to the finals and win at an elite level
My prediction for the Mavs offseason: They won't even catch a fish... its going to be a long time before they hang a banner!
Define significant more clearly. I don't want you pussing out at the end, citing technicalities like Roxsfan did. Is getting Baron Davis significant? Stephen Jackson? Chris Kaman? Rafer Alston? Javaris Crittendon? higher or lower?mono if you're so confident let's make a bet. If the Mavs make no significant trades this offseason (significant as in core altering, obvious difference maker, big time name), I won't post on this forum ever again. If they do then you never post again.
Deal or are you a pussy?
