DAL/WASH trade talks heating up (nothing imminent)

[Frank Lucas]

How does someone shooting 42% mean they are not tough?

You said Butler plays hard earlier. Don't answer my question with a question. Explain how someone who shoots 42% plays hard.


As to how Butler isn't tough - hasn't played more than 67 games since 2006, never shows up for the playoffs, loves to settle for jumpers (hence why he shoots 42%), and plays mediocre defense.

Adrian Wojnarowski's Twitter basically confirms this deal is done in some form.

Butler is going to Dallas, but Wiz and Celts will continue to discuss a scaled down deal for Jamison, source says. Boston still interested.

Finally, the trades begin! I just hope the Suns aren't involved in any of them.

WojYahooNBA: sources say Cavs are very involved in talks for Amar'e Stoudemire.
lol

[Frank Lucas]

Look at the GOAT of mental toughness in the playoffs:

15.6 points, 40.8% shooting, and that's without factoring those DNP-yeast infection's he had in the 2007 playoffs.

How is that a bad thing? If JJ Hickson is involved then you're getting a future Hall Of Famer!

[mavsfan1000]

If Cavs get Amare Stoudemire, Lakers and Cavs will be one heck of a series. Btw I'm also hoping the Mavs get that trade with Haywood.

Stay on topic. Who said he was the GOAT of mental toughness? How does not shooting well equate to lack of toughness?

Not shooting well equates to lack of toughness because it means you're too much of a sissy to take the ball to the hole so you decide to hulk jumpers. Now explain how shooting 42% is playing hard.

That does not explain anything. Please go into more detail about what cons utes toughness.

I am done with this guzzling cunny. No more trolling.

I'll do that after you answer my question.

[HarlemHeat37]

this..Mavs are getting Haywood?..ugh..

[badfish22]

Although the deal could take until Monday to be finalized, sources said that the teams have essentially agreed on the principal pieces: Butler, Haywood and DeShawn Stevenson to Dallas for Josh Howard and Drew Gooden.

The Mavericks must add additional low-dollar contracts to the deal to make the salary-cap math work -- candidates include Tim Thomas, Quinton Ross and James Singleton -- but are not expected to surrender prized rookie guard Roddy Beaubois in the swap

Haywood is who I wanted on the Spurs.

How the do Dallas pull these kind of deals off?

Oh well. GREAT TRADE Dallas if this goes through.

[Allanon]

Amazing trade for the Mavs.

Dallas moving into a clear cut #2 West team with this trade.

[HarlemHeat37]

The Marion signing is even worse now though..he's coming off the bench?..Butler at the 2 won't work well enough.

Still helps their depth though..

Dallas is pretty dangerous with this deal..if Butler continues to play well like he has since his early struggles, they could finally have a legit #2 option..Haywood is also one of the best post defenders in the NBA, so that will help tremendously, especially with Dampier off the bench..

Mavs could be dangerous..

We traded for Marion. Got him for basically nothing. The extension he got was horrible but everybody knew that before he put on a Mavs uniform.

[j.dizzle]

Good trade for the Mavs if it goes through..They'll own SA even more now hahaha

[monosylab1k]

Shockingly, I'm a little concerned about Gooden leaving. He's been way better than expected, he gave great effort and would have been an ideal PF backup for Dirk. With Gooden leaving, Tim Thomas better show up.

[HarlemHeat37]

The extension is what I meant..ya, it sucks, but whatever, he could be great off the bench, hopefully he doesn't pull his usual disappearance in the playoffs for you guys..

[monosylab1k]

And it's still a bit depressing to report that DeShawn Stevenson is our best legit 2-guard.

[clambake]

first, he has to show up before he can disappear.

[NZ Spurs]

Amazing trade for the Mavs.

Dallas moving into a clear cut #2 West team with this trade.

Typical, off the cuff, message board statement. Look at how much the Spurs and Magic have suffered by adding new pieces. Simply adding more talent does not equate success. The early 2000's Jail Blazers are a good example of this.

Spur fan is in panic mode.

[badfish22]

There might be more

We believe Dallas will also be giving a Trade Exception to Washington and taking back a player like reserve center Fabricio Oberto. In fact, we will suggest that who to take with the TE -- the candidates are those with salaries between $1.4 mil and $3 mil, Blatche, Oberto, Young and McGee -- is as much part of the debate/delay as the Ross/Thomas/Singleton question.
