The Mavs are putting together a solid team. This obviously isn't the best squad on paper, but if healthy it's enough to make a push into the postseason. The ball is now in Carsile's court to produce.
yeah it is...still need a little work on the 4/5 spot, but after the Bass/Gortat debacle, you guys are making a comeback. By the way, BUMPY...went to Cowboys camp yesterday...Romo was looking pretty good. And whoever the new #81 is on the Boys, he's fast as ..and has good hands.

Wasn't he the guy that shot 0-14 in a game last season?
Just another example of Mark Cuban trying to play catch-up to the Spurs off-season aquisitions. As wealthy as he is, the guy is STILL a few steps behind. Every sports writer that I've listened too say the same thing, that Shawn Marion isn't the same guy he was in PHX. All of his offensive stats are down, and he hasn't shot above 33% for 3 pt in 4 years!!
Marion + Artest + Wallace (Boston) = SABOTAGE!!
SPURS 2010 champs!

I can't find anything about going to Dallas
Nevermind:

Yes I play.updated rosters put me as a free agent but I'm hoping to sign with dallas soon. That's where I would like to play
http://www.dallasbasketball.com/fullColumn.php?id=1886
apparently he really wants to come, so if hes talking as if he will be signing soon, im sure there have been talks between them
Dallas will be interesting to watch, but I just don't see them winning it with marion as their pf.
Sorry, Marion is undersized for that position: see the Suns.
I believe that's Mike Jefferson. Did some research, Never been anything more than a practice squad player but with TO leaving, and the health issues of Austin/Crayton the WR position could be up for grabs after RW
He's not the PF.
Dirk is.
And Wilt Chamberlain is the most overrated player in sports history.
That would be a solid signing for the Mavs and help strengthen the bench. If he's signed the Mavs obviously have a trade in mind to clean up some of that clutter.
Well...if that's the case, dude looked phenomenal. Bennett looked great too...saw a lot of him...and both he AND Witten were running with the first unit. Wonder if that means anything for the upcoming season. Witten looked even bigger than last year...I got there early and sat in the front row, right by the field. Stanback looked really good too. Oh, and the Jones/Choice backfield was fast as ..lol. Kitna got picked a couple of times..McGee has a cannon, and looked strong.
Um, no. MAYBE at the 3 every once in a while, but he never did it with serious regularity and minutes. You're an idiot if you think that he was being ran there all the time. Bringing the ball up the court every now and then, and shooting long jumpers/3s doesn't mean you are playing at the 2/3.
I was being serious about Wilt. And there is no argument. It was the worst era of basketball, making it easy for guys like Wilt and Russell look dominant.
LMAO @ Wilt, who according to you is the greatest player, athlete, human ever (yes even greater than Jesus or Tim Tebow), could only win 1 ring despite having such a stacked team.
Wilt is overrated out of this world. GFY
I hope so cause I can't take another year of him blowing big games. Still pissed off about the Steelers lost.
The Spurs could have resigned Gooden after the Jefferson trade, as a big. The FO obviously didn't like something about his game. They chose to sign Marcus Haislip. Same age, same height. I think it's more about at ude and willingness to play within the Spurs system. Assuming Mason is the starter at #2 the next 5 off the Spurs bench will be:
Ginobili
Hill
Finley/Haislip
DaBeast/Bonner
Ratliff/ Mahimni
Not ready to declare them the "best bench" just yet. It does seem to give Pop a 7 man bench depending on who the opponent is. Without Manu last season our bench was 2 1/2 players. We will continue to play "Spur's" ball. Is there such a thing as "Mav's' ball?
You shouldn't because they're not even close
mavs do have a good bench, but still have nuthing down low, should be good if they stay healthy
The funny thing is that you could argue that Drew Gooden is the best post threat the Dallas Mavericks have ever had
Solid pick-up if true. Mavs had a very good off-season. Props to Mark.
Bench is crap other than Manu, and MAYBE Hill. Blair is massively overrated by spurfans. Let him prove himself first. Mavs fans have reason to be excited about Beaubois, but no way are we putting him on the list just yet. He needs to prove himself. Finley and Ratliff both pretty much suck now.
Russel will be the starter. No point in fooling yourself.
A Dolphin talking after one season? lol ed reed.
Corliss Williamson was the best post presence the Pistons have had since Bob Lainer, and there is nothing wrong with that... he and the coach (Carlisle) knew his strengths (offensive rebounding, scoring in the paint, defending Shaq) and weaknesses (passing black hole, no defense other than Shaq). It worked out so well that Corliss became 6th man of the year.
If this is the best bench in the NBA then I like our chances. It's a good group, but I highly doubt they would ever play together at one time. If they did they better score alot because they are not going to stop anyone. Bench vs Bench I still feel that the Spurs have a more effective group.
-Hill will totally shut down Barrea no question. Defender/Scorer
-Ginobili vs Terry, No need to comment. Shooter/Slasher
-Finley vs McCants toss up Veteran Shooter
-Blair will totally destroy Gooden it's unfair. REBOUNDER 2nd chance pts.
-Hailslip and Thomas IDK From what I've seen on video I doubt TT can
even stay in front of him. Atheletic big who can hit the outside shot
As you can see our bench offers much more than scoring and Three point shooting it's an effective balance
Granted the MAVS are much improved at some spots than a year ago, the Spurs however, are much improved at all positions this year. Its shaping up to be one of the funest seasons to be a Spurs or mavs fan can't wait. Good Luck to you guys!
Where did this come from? The guy gives props to another team and you decide to insult his football team? Sand in the vagina much?
