Sucks that we had to take Banks and his horrible contract but it's only 2 years. I know he has been injured so maybe dude can play some off the bench...if not you can trade his contract next year.
IF this is true... yeah, his contract sucks, but I don't mind having him. He is a good backup to have, and plays very solid defense. And since it seems like the Mavs like having an undersized 2 guard, perhaps Barea could take over Terry's role, and the Mavs can look for a way to trade him.Sucks that we had to take Banks and his horrible contract but it's only 2 years.

Why Banks and not Humphries? It's possible to work it out with either guy.
how come the Mavs never played Stackhouse this year? was there some kind of beef with him and the FO?
i guess cuz they wanna get rid of banks crappy contract.
He was hurt. It's been his MO for the last couple years.
he was "hurt"
to me, it was cuz they wanted to trade him, and did it for 2 reasons... either they didnt want him to get hurt since hes injury prone, or they didnt want people to see how bad he sucked so that other teams would be a little more inclined to take him
although, if the raptors are just going to release him, i wonder if the mavs could sign him back for the vets minimum or something? i honestly dont mind him being on the team as a backup. as long as he doesnt get overused. but he periodically can catch fire and go off for 25.
This means Josh has the start at SG with Marion at SF. I hope Josh is working out this Summer and gonna take this as a challenge. No way you trade Damp this year given the value of his contract for a trade next year. So if we get Gortat I still think Damp starts but plays only 15-20 mins a game:
C - Damp
PF - Dirk
SF - Marion
SG - Howard
PG - Kidd
Bench: Terry, Gortat, ?PF (not sure we can keep Bass), Hollins, barera, Banks
Only thing Mavs are missing are a backup SG and PF---I say get marquis back and we are set till 2010
He was hurt and he SUCKS NOW. Raptors are probably gonna cut him and more than likely he retires. Maybe joins the Mavs in some management role.
I'll believe the Marion trade when I see it.
I think the Marion thing happens in some fashion, because Cuban usually gets what he wants. We've seen it before.This means Josh has the start at SG with Marion at SF.

I'm more worried about the dominoes falling and the Magic deciding to keep Gortat.
not sure why people think Josh would have such a hard time playing SG. to me, i think he tries to play like one a lot, and many times does the duties of a SG. he has better handles than people think. he bring the ball up the court quite often. but fact is, if you got Kidd on the team, he needs to be handling that ball 98% of the time. Josh can also create his own scoring, something SGs should be able to do. i think he would be just fine as a SG.
the crazy thing is how good of a rebounding team the Mavs will be. with Kidd, Howard, Marion, Dirk, and Gortat... those are all very good rebounders, all guys who can get 10+ any given night. and Marion should be able to help a lot especially on offensive boards, getting the Mavericks second chance points. im really excited if this goes down.
Banks....
dammit...
Raptors, Mavs Deal For Marion Reaches Standstill
A potential sign-and-trade between the Raptors and Mavericks involving Shawn Marion appears to have reached a standstill.
The deal is stuck on two points, according to the Dallas Morning News.
An Eastern Conference executive said that one of the points is the inclusion of Toronto point guard Marcus Banks in the deal.
However, Banks is due $9 million over the next two seasons, which would impact the Mavericks' ability to pursue stars in next summer's free agent market.
The other problem is that Toronto doesn't want to take back any salary in exchange for Marion, who is an unrestricted free agent.
If the Raptors won't agree to take Jerry Stackhouse, who has a $7 million contract with $2 million in guarantees, then a third team would have to be found to facilitate the deal.

That was from yesterday evening.
Witness Bryan Colangelo
Inherited Villanueva --> Ford --> J. O'Neal --> Marion --> Antoine Wright
lol colangelo
db.com continues to say the Marion trade is a shaky possibility, not an inevitability. And I would think it happens today or not at all, bc they have to renounce his rights to sign Hedo.
That would be definitely better than the Spurs if we don't get McDyess. Damn.This means Josh has the start at SG with Marion at SF.

If Mavs have to take back Banks then the deal is off...Spurs and Cavs didnt have to take back ridiculous contracts when off loading players. Banks would be the new Wahad. Cubes needs to stop getting raped in deals like this and take a stand for once
The Banks thing is just Colangelo pushing his off on the Mavs. It's possible to work the deal without having to throw Banks into it. off, Canada.
i know he doesnt have a good contract, but i can deal with that if it gives us marion. and banks is a solid backup.
