So according to DB.com, the reason they're rejecting the Jefferson deal is because they actually think they can get Chris Paul
These guys run a ing basketball team.....

Let's put aside the inep ude of the Mavs FO for a second. Is there any doubt Ricardo Montalban could do a better job as Minnesota GM right now?
Ludacris! We are not getting Chris Paul, when we have the veteran Jason Kidd. He's been to two finals in his career, how many does Paul have?So according to DB.com, the reason they're rejecting the Jefferson deal is because they actually think they can get Chris Paul

The only hope is that all these reports are bull , that nobody knows for sure what exactly is being discussed between Kahn and Mark/Donnie. I can understand not consummating a trade immediately, telling the Wolves "Give us a deadline before you pull this offer" and see if Damp can net something better...but if their basic stance is that Al Jefferson is not worthy of Damp's contract, then they are clueless dip s.
The only saving grace is that it doesn't make logical sense to turn down Jefferson for Damp and then say you are open to just letting the thing thing expire and keep the savings for yourself. The whole point of hyping up this contract for a year is that it represents a trade chip to the Mavs and a cost-cutting tool for other teams. Cuban is supposed to be the guy that treats the Mavs as his expensive playtoy.
Yeah, but the Mavs don't benefit by having him expire. Sure they will have some cap space next year, but they will also have a ton of holes to fill. Plus no one knows what the CBA will look like next year.
One of the only things that might be a real consideration to not pull the trigger is that they just paid Haywood a $55 million contract so they'd be paying huge money for either Haywood or Jefferson to be a 24 minute bench player. Not that spending money is a huge issue for Cuban, but it could be a consideration. So perhaps they are more bent on trying to use Dampier to get a shooting guard like Iguodala then getting another big man.
That could be one semi-legitimate rationale for it.
Ah, the DUST Chip. Perhaps more dust than chip.
It was a unique asset a week ago, but not any longer. Chicago, Cleveland, and Toronto all own TEs of a similar size or larger. The TEs last for a year, as opposed to expiring on opening night like the chip, and can be be used in several smaller transactions if need be.
Best to take Jefferson while he's still available.
The Mavs have two glaring holes on their roster: lack of efficient low-post scoring and a lack for a slashing two-guard that can get to the rim and draw fouls. Roddy B could be an All Star or he could end up being a serviceable rotation player. Hard to say what his ceiling is, but compare his rookie stats side to side to those of Marquis Daniels in a blind taste test and tell me who is destined for the better career. At the very least I think he is good enough to be in an 8-man rotation for a good team. I think he will get 25-30 minutes next year in the Mavs backcourt rotation and will jump ahead of Terry on the depth chart. Unless Chris Paul or somebody else like that becomes available, I think the Mavs should focus on low-post scoring.
Jefferson could operate in the low post and you could put Dirk in the high post. You have 96 minutes to spread between Dirk, Jefferson and Haywood. They could each get around 32 minutes a game in the regular season. Haywood starts against some teams based on matchups, Jefferson against others. Haywood has a very important job as the best defender of the three and the guy who rebounds, blocks shots and protects the rim. Two of those three guys would be in the game at all times.
Dampier for Jefferson is a huge Win for the Mavs. I can understand not taking a stance of desperation and at least trying to get Jefferson w/o sacrificing Damp, but if they maintain that Damp for Jefferson is completely off the table, it explains a lot of how they have gotten to this point.
Mavs front office needs to stop with these ridiculous pipe dreams. Either use DUST on something that helps this team or just waive Damp and his contract
god dammit Cuban
Lol I don't disagree with any of that. I was just offering possible logic.
"It's also possible that guard Jason Terry could be featured in a package for Jefferson. Terry's contract has two years remaining for more than $20 million, but he can be bought out for $5 million after this season if his playing time is slashed to less than 1,500 minutes."
good. Ship that er out
Somebody still wants Eric Dampier?
From Ingram's Twitter:
@Magic_Dude24 No...hearing Cavs get Jefferson... about 1 hour ago via Twitter for Android from Oates Corner Retail, Mesquite in reply to Magic_Dude24
@howlintwolf Cavs are offering 16m TPE...much more likely... about 1 hour ago via Twitter for Android from Oates Corner Retail, Mesquite in reply to howlintwolf
The Timberwolves have, indeed, asked for Damp from Dallas, but they're offering only Marion, Stevenson, Carroll about 2 hours ago via txt
These stupid s....
yes, for the dust chip
Mark and Donnie. Carlisle.
Last summer they were praised for turning into Marion, Roddy, more draft picks, and even the Caron/Haywood trade.
and now they are too pussy to do this deal because they are in some pipedream of Chris Paul going to Dallas? It's too late, they had their chance and they ing blew it. What the .
They better hope that this is just some kind of smoke screen and that there is really a better deal out there that they're after because this is ing stupid.
The only reason these s have for not pulling the trigger immediately is if they have had discussions with NO for Chris Paul and think they have a legitimate shot. I severely doubt it, but they obviously know things we don't.
Didn't the New Orleans owner publicly say that he is NOT trading Chris Paul?
I also thought his contract expires after next year and if that is the case then it would just be a 1yr rental before he joins his homeboy LeBron down in South Beach.
Where the is Ghazi btw?
new cba prob won't let that happen
I think Pauls contract has two years left. And I dont think he will sign with the Heat. Didn't he try to get Lebron to stay in CLE?
tbh i think i heard he was in iran or some
