Haslem is a solid veteran presence with championship experience

I like Haslem. Puts up 10/8 and a lot of times that was even as a backup. plays bigger than his size tbh
solid third big for your frontcourt if you have no interest in acquiring an efficient low-post scorer, something the Mavs have never had in their 30-year history.
I like Haslem too if there were not any chance at all of acquiring Al Jefferson.
I understand what Haslem brings as a player, but the Mavs goal is le or bust. Does spending that money on Haslem help in that regard?
no it doesn't.
That is my point. So why do you do that?
Haslem is a rugged defender. I guess they're thinking it would match up well against Gasol / Bynum. I'm not sold on that. Offensively, he gives you what Dampier used to give you.
The best way to "stick it" to the Heat is to create the best team possible in the highly unlikely event the Mavs advance to the Finals again to face Miami. Haslem is basically a souped-up and more skilled version of Najera. Not a difference-making move at all.
That's what we're trying to figure out.
My guess is that they think Dirk provides enough offense for the frontcourt, Jefferson is to big of a ?, and that Haslem provides a big body to bang with LA.
No idea.
true, we need to stop toying with this pipe dream of aquiring CP3. New Orleans has said they are not shopping him and I dont think they would trade him within the division. I read in the Dallas Morning News, Donnie said there is a good chance the dust chip isnt moved. It can still be moved at the deadline but imo a shaky Jefferson is still better than letting Damp's contract expire.
You mean before Najera started to pull a Rasheed and fell in love with the 3 pointer?
If we got Jefferson, we would finally have the size and skill to be compe ive with LA's frontline. I just can't imagine Chris Paul is available; the Mavs are gonna let the DUST chip got to waste while they hold their s waiting on the Hornets to MAYBE make Paul available.
The theory is that the Hornets will be made a "Godfather" offer that they can't pass up involving clearing loads of cap space for years, plus throwing in Roddy to add to Collison/Thornton. Shinn is in the process of selling the team and would want to lower payroll to make the team more attractive to the new owners. Thing is, I am sure the new owners would want Paul to sell tickets. They already have a tough time drawing and nobody is going to want to watch a rebuilding movement.
I read somewhere that they were saving the DUST chip to use it on a 'Gasol type of trade'. But those deals are not out there all the time. Doesn't mean you can't take a pretty good deal even if it's not over the top.
Exactly. I'd rather have CP3/Haslem than Al Jefferson, but there is just no indication whatsoever that Paul is available, and if he was, you can better believe that word would filter quickly through the league and a bidding war would erupt. Why would they want to deal him to their division rival and face him four times a year?
Cuban is trying to sign all the players in the league that can actually guard and give Dirk problems on D.....don't worry we won't be taking anyone from the Spurs son
According to sources, the Mavericks have let the Hornets know that they would be willing to take back two of their worse contracts in a package for Chris Paul.
Mark Cuban has repeatedly said the Mavs will be “opportunistic” in the trade market and are willing to take on salary if the right situation presents itself.
“I want to win,” Cuban said Wednesday night when asked about his willingness to take on significant salaries under the right cir stances. “If I think it puts us over the top, yeah. I’ll just go get another job at Dairy Queen.”
Dallas has at least made contact with the Hornets about a deal. I have still found nothing about any talks though.. maybe this is overnight kind of move. Im pretty confident Dallas will make their move in the next 2 and half weeks or there wont be one.
Well to get Paul you probably gotta take Okafor back...so two pretty big contracts.
Mavs could offer Damp + Terry/Caron + JJB + other expirings and couple 1st round draft picks for CP3 + Okafor....
That's a ton of in $$$ to take on...not sure even Cuban would do it but maybe that's why he was trying to get Big Al for cheap without the Dust????
Of course what really happens is the Mavs probably cut Damp and save the $$ themselves lol
Ive heard Dallas was trying offer a package with Terry for jefferson and save the dust
Son read what I just posted above lol
The Mavs "supposedly" were only offering Carroll, Stevenson, other crap for Big Al lol
I'm going to give Cuban this week to see what's up
oh for 's sake. THE GUY IS A WORLD CLASS POST SCORER. SOMETHING THE MAVS HAVE NEVER ING HAD.
Donnie Nelson is literally too stupid to insult.
The Dallas Mavericks and Mark Cuban have done it. CB'd the Miami Heat. Kudos!
The Mavs have offered a contract believed to be a minimum of three years and $20 million, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. The Mavericks have offered Haslem their full mid-level exception starting at $5.85 million this season, a league source said.
