Gooden signs with the Mavs

[Goran Dragic]

He damn well better play. I'm a firm believer that getting shipped overseas basically means the guy sucks at playing basketball. If he can't come and at least offer a small contribution this year, he'll never amount to anything.

Nonsense. Spurfan claims Mahinmi is the next Robinson, and he played in Europe.

[Danny.Zhu]

Mavs front court is very strong.
Dirk+Shawn+Drew+Josh+(Eric)......

If Spurs and Mavs met in playoff, it will be a tough 7 games series.

dude, you may as well log in under two troll names respectively on IE and firefox (download and install it if you haven't got one), then two accounts can be used at the same time on Spurstalk and it saves considerable time supposed to be spent in logging in and logging out.

Good pickup, everything considered.

I thought losing bass was a could thing.

But now I see we used the MLE for a player that can actually rebound, score and defend instead of just power dunking.

I liked gooden =[

Gooden can't defend, Holmes. He stands there with his mouth open and just stares at his defender or when he's supposed to help defend.

Pretty much exactly what Bass does on defense.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Our team just got a whole lot uglier.

[jag]

Not bad. Basically does everything Bass would have done.

Wasn't Bass a pretty solid defensive player?

[dickface]

Not at all. Combine dumb as a brick with 3-4 inches undersized and you get yourself a really terrible defensive player. Bass did some very nice things for the Mavericks, but playing defense wasn't one of them.

[mavsfan1000]

The best thing about this pickup is it is only for 1 year. If he doesn't work out, his expiring contract would be great to trade at a deadline for possibly a center that we wanted. Of course hoping for a team that wants to dump salary and has a quality center.

Dude's not completely ugly...no

[benefactor]

With everything the Mavs have been through its a good consolation prize. He won't play much D but at least he can score and rebound. Playing with a good setup PG like Kidd should also help.

[SpursDynasty]

Dallas is done

[mavs>spurs2]

Dallas is done

i thought u were done

[Culburn369]

Convince 'em, mavs, hang another 4-1 on 'em. That'll fix their f'in wagon.

[loveforthegame]

He's going to get a chance to beat out Dampier for the starting center position? That's going to be a disaster.

It's a good signing but he'll get murdered by the starting centers around the league.

[EricB]

Nonsense. Spurfan claims Mahinmi is the next Robinson, and he played in Europe.

No one has made such a claim bozo.

[EricB]

Solid pickup for the Mavericks and one that works out well with bass leaving.

Gooden > Bass IMO.


Mavericks have had a nice offseason, props.

[Ghazi]

I wonder if McCants could be had for the LLE. That'd be pretty solid. Upgrade over Wright, Gooden replacing Bass, and adding a top 75 player (Marion) for a corpse (Stack) would be nice! And then we'd still have some expiring contracts to dangle!

It may not push us past the Lakers but what can you do?

We love our boys in blue!

[duncan228]

We love our boys in blue!

[Henke]

Pretty solid move,I like it.

Let's see what is next for us.

I hope we are going after Wafer or McCants(we need another solid option in sg/sf).
