Emeka muthafukin Okafor.
Congrats to China's basketball team on winning the second place in Asia Basketball Tournament.At least I don't root for the MAVS a team that will never win
Emeka muthafukin Okafor.
Rod Thorn isn't a idiot, sorry to say, Who could have traded Marbury for Kidd?(when Kidd was better then he is now). And we did rape the Mavs when we traded Kidd for Harris, you do remember that right? I know a lot of Mav fans didn't seem to like that trade because they thought the Mavs traded so much. Sure we might not have won. But, Mavs haven't won either so they aren't any better.
I don't really care about China's basketball teamCongrats to China's basketball team on winning the second place in Asia Basketball Tournament., If Brook Lopez, Devin Harris, Yi, and the other net players improve this year that's all that matters right now. Since we aren't like Mavs having a clock ticking to try to win something. Congrats to Dirk for thinking he might get hurt and rest this summer
and how do you know Hornets will want to trade him? Maybe they will say they want to try to win and want to keep him?
The dumb move about Kidd was made in 1990s, over 10 muthafukin years ago. The Mavs ing traded Kidd along with several fillers to Phoenix for Michael Muthafukin Finley and other fillers, thankfully Donnie redeemed the mistake of his predecessors by taking Kidd back to Dallas without losing too much talent. The 10 pick won't bring the Nets any decent rookie since the Mavs will have a great season in 09-10, and Devin Harris is ing overrated, besides Harris and pick the Mavs only lost some pieces of in the trade for Kidd.
Isn't the 7'6 piece of ape already hurt and done for his career?I don't really care about China's basketball team
Devin and Brook Lopez may probably develop into star-caliber guys in 2 years or some, but I don't think an idiot of an inferior race can keep his ass very long in NBA.I don't really care about China's basketball team
They will have to trade his long contract when their butts are scorched by financial issues, even without muthafukin Okafor, the Mavs will still be ing stout enough to curb stomped the out of their opposing teams in the series in the West, though our trip will exorably get tensified in the finals against the Cavs with Shaq or Celtics with KG and mutha ing Sheed.
Oh so you mean Dirk will just become better then Kobe and Dallas will make the finals next year, that's funny. Sorry Dirk is the best player on the Mavs and I sure as heck don't see him beating the Celtics in the FINALS, but I guess the Mav fans dream world it can happen
So you don't think Kidd or JET will be in the NBA much longer then I guess right?
that's YAO
Yeah, the Hornets traded Chandler for Okafor just so they could trade Okafor to the Mavericks of all teams.
yeah, I found it funny he thought that. if hornets were getting Dirk or someone in the starting lineup from the mavs I could see it happen, but other then that I think Hornets would be more likely to trade with some otherYeah, the Hornets traded Chandler for Okafor just so they could trade Okafor to the Mavericks of all teams.
Wow, this thread turned into garbage...surprise, surprise.
I'd say this is about right as far as grades go. The Spurs needed (1) to add someone who could score and take the pressure off the big three. If the big 3 didn't put up 20 apiece, the Spurs would get manhandled. (2) They needed a competent big man who could play on both ends of the floor. Gooden only provided offense and his rebounding, which was supposed to be a big part of his game, didn't exist. Jefferson and Mcdyess fill those two holes.
The Mavs needed to add athletic ability to compete with teams like Denver, Orlando, and Cleveland. He's only 31, and I still think Marion brings that. The big knock on Marion is that at times he absolutely disappeared on offense against the Spurs when the Suns were forced to play in the HC. But he's got the body and hops to D-up many of the quality 3's in the league. Either way, he's still an upgrade. And if the plan is to outscore everyone, then Gooden is your guy...but he's borderline re ed without the ball in his hands, and he's full-blown handicapped on D.
Kidd is half black half white while JET is pure black, so neither of them is an idiot of an inferior race like the so-called Yidiot Janlian on the Nets team.
Let's get this thread back on track after troll fail. Here's a link:

It's easy to forget just how dominant the Dallas Mavericks were when they took the floor against the eighth-seeded Warriors on a Sunday evening in April 2007. This was the last game of the postseason's opening weekend, a perfunctory item of business for the Mavs en route to a conference finals matchup against the Suns or the Spurs.
Dallas was one year removed from an NBA Finals appearance, and had just piled up 67 wins in the regular season. Only five teams in NBA history had recorded more Ws in a single season. Dirk Nowitzki was the presumptive MVP (and would go on to win the award).
The Mavs' epic collapse in that first-round series against the Warriors has been well-do ented, and over the next two seasons, Dallas would descend from their perch into the Western Conference's upper-middle class.
What's interesting about that falloff is how many of the elements of that Mavs team remain intact today -- to say nothing of the quality pieces that have been added since. 67 wins isn't ancient history; we're talking two seasons ago.
Dirk Nowitzki, at 31, is the same age as Kobe Bryant. While Nowitzki is unlikely to reproduce his 2006-07 exploits, he remains one of the league's best players. Jason Terry has been a model of consistency for Dallas and had arguably the most efficient season of his career as the Mavs' super sub in 2008-09. Josh Howard is only 29. When healthy, he's still one of the more flexible swingmen in the game and a lockdown defender. In 2006-07, J.J. Barea logged fewer than 200 minutes, but he's become a spark plug for the Mavs' quality second unit ever since.
With Jason Kidd settling nicely into the role of veteran facilitator (and surprisingly efficient shooter), the franchise doubled down on the bet that their solid core could maximize what's left of Dirk Nowitzki's prime. They landed Shawn Marion.
Like Howard, Marion is versatile, freakish, and mercurial. Defensively, he can stay in front of speedy point guards, bother face-up power forwards, chase spot-up shooters, and clean up on the boards. Offensively, Marion's downward trajectory the past season and a half began the moment he left Phoenix. Coincidence -- or evidence that his talents demand the care of a veteran, pass-first point guard?
When you consider those assets, then throw in sensible additions like Drew Gooden and Kris Humphries to bolster Erick Dampier on the block, defensive stopper Quinton Ross, and a pair of intriguing rookies, and the Mavs appear ... stacked.
There is no shortage of nightmarish scenarios by which Dallas' gamble can implode. Nowitzki, Kidd, Marion, Terry, and Dampier are all on the wrong side of 30. Howard is accustomed to missing about 15 games a year, and being less than 100 percent for long stretches. Dallas' best offensive lineup (Kidd-Terry-Howard-Marion-Nowitzki) won't give them much interior defense, and the loss of Brandon Bass makes them a less energetic bunch.
But with Kidd at the point, and a roster of flexible guys who can each serve multiple functions on the floor, Dallas has the potential to develop into a grizzled, selfless squad with the kind of mental edge that just might have been the missing ingredient 28 months ago.
Individually Kobe muthafuking Bryant is better THAN Dirk by a hair, but you can't list more than 2 guys around the earth better than Bryant individually in the game of basketball. Plus, the margin between Dirk and Kobe is unnoticeable when envisioned on their teams. Kobe has carried his team further in the postseason because he's got better supplyments around him, while Dirk has to carry the team himself but he still managed to drag his team to NBA muthafukin finals in 06, and that's not what Kobe could have done. Before stealing Gasol from Memphis the lakers were just a marginal playoff team, though Kobe achieved 81 miracle in that era.
Dirk can only be hurt if you clip a blade in your vagina when he s you. The 7'6 piece of is simply a crap, but still he is a much better player than Yi. Even Yao with one leg is superior to Yi, and you all know how little I think of the 7'6 .that's YAO
This post is a whole bunch of re ed.
So is when you said Scola > Dirk.
I never said Yi was better did I? I just said YAO was the one not hurt. Since Yi was playing
So I guess you hate Dirk, since you seem racist about players not Black. And Dirk is White
Never said it. It was a typing error. Did I not explain this to you? Hey it's no worse than you saying Josh Howard was better than T-Mac. T-mac was still better than him last year on one leg.
do you like the word muthafukin a lot? you type it in just about everything. So I get that feeling. And isn't it funny Dirk had to carry a team to the playoffs and Kidd had to do it two times. Of course I think Kidd had a much better support cast when he did it, still think it's a better support cast then he has now with the Mavs, so I don't see Kidd winning when he is a Mav, unless he is on the bench
