lol what an ugly though seriously crofl
lol cruises
lol wearing a Nets jersey to a bar
LOL Mavs
I disagree that a team built around Dirk has to be a jump shooting team. KG was pretty much a jump shooter in 2008, Kobe was pretty much a jump shooter in 2010. I know their games are different than Dirks, and Dirk takes more jumpers than them. I'm just saying. But Boston/LA were not jump shooting teams.
It just so happens Dirk's been flanked by a lot of jump shooting talent lately... Kidd, Terry, Butler, Bass, Howard.
Also, I don't think there's anything wrong with Dirk's jump shooting. The particular shots he takes he is the best in the league at. efficiency isn't an issue.
The 08 Celtics were a jumpshooting team, I think that with the right players you can win a le as a "jump shooting team".
True sorta, they got good paint production / FTattempts though, and splendid ball movement. Mavs have been bottom 5 in these 2 categories for the past 4 years, and have very "meh" team passing resulting in a lot of stagnant/wasted possessions.
low post what? you need a guy scoring at low-post that's what you mean I guess, but that's not the point of matter I'm afraid to say. Mavs have never built their offense on/around low-post since the team was first founded, and they've stuck to their style ever since.
I think the low-post defense isn't what you meant to point out because the Mavs already play good defense there, with Damp and Haywood as the main guys. As much a crap in offense as he is, Damp is a solid player around the low-post at defensive end and you never see him getting blown out by even the best-ever centers around the league like DH and a younger&healthier Mr. e.
not really. Mavs jumpshoot too many and they also miss too many, that's the crux IMHO. Mavs just need some more reliable shooters for whom we've got to start with Joe Johnson, or Lebron James for the ideal scenario, not another overrated ing length like Al.
talking about yourself again, that's not very nice don't put yourself down like that.
And what's so funny about cruises? I don't get that part. Maybe it's because I'm not like you and actually get out in the world and travel and don't just watch and talk about stupid basketball teams, but lol at cruises isn't really funny, most people would think what the is that person talking about.
lol guess you won't wear and Suns or Mavs jersey to a bar? Both teams must suck more then I think
when you stop I will stop
tbh I'll stop if you stop. Literally, like all of my accounts. Whatever it takes. I would enjoy just lurking here and never posting again more than posting here and having you around. I'll even tell everyone all my troll names.when you stop I will stop
I'm being dead serious btw. No joking.
That you can blame on coaching. They don't run any half court set other than isoing Dirk, Carlisle shoulda tried running plays to try to free Terry up with off ball screens or plays where Marion is used as a cutter since that's about the only thing he does well in the halfcourt.
I'll stop when the Mav fans stop, we got a deal? I actually just add the people that I disagree with to the ignore list
Id be happy with Jefferson or Johnson tbh. Both good players. Id probably prefer Johnson.
Kidd/Roddy
Johnson/ face
Butler/Marion
Dirk/Gooden
Haywood/center
good lineup. Probably won't win a ring though.
Sources: Mavs to pursue Johnson
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban will pursue a sign-and-trade to lure Atlanta Hawks free agent Joe Johnson(notes), league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The Mavericks are unlikely to engage the Cleveland Cavaliers into a sign-and-trade for LeBron James(notes), but Johnson has emerged as a realistic target for the Mavericks. Johnson, is more likely to embrace a sign-and-trade to the contending Mavs than sign a free-agent contract with New York or Chicago, sources said.
“New York is far from his first option,” one source with knowledge of Johnson’s thinking said.
Johnson will meet with New York officials on Thursday in Los Angeles, but sources warn that Johnson is unlikely to choose the Knicks unless he’s joining them as part of a star tandem. He isn’t built – physically or psychologically – to carry a franchise and the prospect of trying to play the part of savior for New York is unrealistic.
The Knicks will turn swiftly to a Plan B that includes Johnson once they believe they’re completely out of the chase for James.
Johnson turned down a four-year, $60 million extension from the Hawks before the season, and it could take an offer in the neighborhood of $90 million to keep him in Atlanta. Johnson had a fine season for the Hawks – averaging 21 points – but faded to 12.8 points per game in the Orlando Magic’s sweep of the Hawks in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Johnson was raised in Arkansas and has a comfort level living in the Southwest. Johnson, 28, is facing the final major contract of his career, and sources believe he’s far less likely to sign with a team under the cap and cost himself millions than having his agent Arn Tellem aggressively pursue a sign-and-trade. Johnson is determined to get the sixth guaranteed season on a contract that could only come with re-signing in Atlanta or a sign-and-trade arrangement, sources say.
The Mavericks have a pool of talent that could entice Atlanta general manager Rick Sund into making a deal for Johnson. The Mavericks believe they’ll re-sign Dirk Nowitzki(notes), who is expected to opt-out of his contract. They’re intrigued with a lineup that would include Johnson as the shooting guard.
The Hawks are still expected to try and sign Johnson, but sources don’t believe they’ll offer a maximum contract to him. So far, Toronto Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo is the only executive who has suggested he’s willing to do a sign-and-trade for his star. Colangelo will try to get some return on the inevitable loss of All-Star forward Chris Bosh(notes).

great. even more jumpshots.
Turning Dampier into Joe Johnson is a win. We're not getting LeBron or Wade, and I don't want Bosh. By all means, call Bron and Wade's agent, and when they hang up on us, turn to Johnson.
i sense the front office getting raped.....very soon.
Joe Johnson will get overpaid and he is very overrated.
They can have their choice of Dampier (obviously), Barea, Stevenson, Najera, and Terry.
Yup, this is the realistic approach, the only drawback for you guys is if Roddy is involved in the trade. If Dallas gets Joe Johnson and resigns Haywood it's a successful off season for them. If they do those things without having to give Beaubois up while also getting a backup center like Gortat it's a very successful off season.
