My prediction for the Mavs offseason

Then we will need a someone to replace Josh Howard as the starting SF in blue, Prince is surely an ideal fit for our team. Maybe Prince cannot give so much fire in offense as Josh did, but his skills and at ude in defense are a rain in drought for our boys in blue.

Ok, I've read online some Mav fans want Bosh. I can understand why he is good, but I think him and Dirk pretty much play the same type of game, so I don't understand why you would want him

I dont...Dirk and Bosh operate off the same space on the floor. I'd even say that Dirk is more of a post player than Bosh. Also a front line of Dirk and Bosh would be much worse than a front line of Damp and Dirk....We dont need another PF..SG and C need to be the top priorities

I only reason I can see why Mavs fans want Bosh is he is good other then that don't see how it would help the mavs. They need other things

You got some nice young talent anyway w/ Williams and Young/Speights. Get real, no team whose best player is Iggy is gonna do . And no team who is paying Elton "cancer" Brand until 2013 is gonna do either.

Charlotte? Where the do you think you're going? Wallace getting paid until 2013? Okafor getting paid until 2014? They're good players, but are they foundations of a team that can challenge the mother ing King in his prime? to the no. Let us save you some salary, and maybe you can come back in 5 years when Lebron's athleticism has declined.

Give one or the other the 2009 #1 if you ing have to.

Unfortunately, this requires two things.

1. Cuban deciding to open the outta his wallet.
2. Mediocre teams being smart and realizing that they're not gonna do , might as well cut your losses and start a new rebuilding cycle.

This is a genius trade

OK fellas, I've found a way to save the Mavericks.

http://www.realgm.com/src_checktrade...radeid=5076407

We take on their headache (Maggette) and get a future star out of it. They get a guy who fits in very well with their system (Josh) and also they get Shawne Mutha in' Williams.

THEN....

We trade Stack's expiring + s&t Breath, Hollins, & Bass to 1 year deals, in order to match salaries and get Tyson Chandler & James Posey in return from New Orleans.

Re-sign Kidd.

so we have as starters

Kidd
Maggette
Posey
Dirk
Chandler

and our bench

JET
Randolph
Barea
Wright
Green
Vagina Dampier
Carroll

you're welcome, Mavs fans.

monosylab1k for GM.

The trade with Hornets is pretty feasible, and it will be a big upgrade for our team. Posey delivers us a tough defensive patch at F/G, which is just what we have been lacking in. Chandler's athleticism can also make him a big contributor on the offensive end, as the executor of alley-oops launched by Jason Kidd. Jason Kidd is more of a mastro in making alley-oops than CP who was just a mid-schooler when Kidd started his career in NBA. Surely, Chandler is also an upgrade in defense over Dampier, Dampier is pretty passive defensively though.

But I doute the Warriors will trade us A Randolph, as this guy is that good. Besides, Randolph is a young piece of talent with big potential, which is very needed to the Warriors who are on recounstruction. The only reason for Warriors to make this deal is just the release of Maggette's contract, Somkey doesn't count a bit more in this trade than Stack's expiring does. Monta Ellis has more possibility to be acquired though, as the Warriors are already pissed of this guy for cheating about his injury. For that, we would have to throw Dampier into this trade, even though we may get even more than Ellis from Dampier's expiring in this summer.

Turiaf will be an ideal back up for Chandler.

**Ghazi** · 05-19-2009

James ing Posey?

Corey ing Maggette?

Are we trying to win a le here or go 44-38 and miss the playoffs?

**sribb43** · 05-19-2009

The with Maggette

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMa...tradeId=ojjmf5

acquiring S-Jax gives you a legit SG/SF that can guard multiple positions as well as handle the ball and make plays for other, something J-Ho cant do. Turiaf is a huge upgrade at backup center.

Mavs still have the expiring contracts of Damp and J-Ho to make other moves

edit...Nevermind I didnt realize Jax was already 31 and has 4 more years left on his deal

31 or not, you take Captain Jack in Dallas in a heartbeat.

Bring in Iggy and promise to eat Brand's contract!!

Then we will have an unbeatable squad as Shaq/Dirk/Prince/Rip/Kidd, with Barbosa playing as our sixth man. Fill the rest of our squad with players signed with MLE/Minimum, and Brandon Bass on whom the full MLE is about to be spent.

Shaq is no longer a useful piece for the Suns as they have decided to pick up their run-gun, while Josh Howard is more efficient in such a system. Nash is in his contract year and the Suns clearly know they can't prevent this veteran from walking elsewhere once he can, so it may be the best choice to trade him while he is still in contract.

Pistons are urgent to dump their salary, obviously they want to make some big shots in the summer of 10, I don't think they can trap some big fish though. What they may catch are just small shrimps and crabs, considering the limping auto industry.
