$6.6 mil for a backup PF that will play about 10 minutes or less per night unless Dirk is injured?
Money better spent elsewhere.
Here is what will happen...
Mavs will trade Stevenson, Carroll, JJB, and picks for Jefferson
then Damp, Butler, and Terry for CP3
and will sign Raja Bell, Haslem, and Mahinimi
to roll with a lineup of...
PG - Paul, Kidd
SG - Bell, Beaubois
SF - Marion, Haslem
PF - Nowitzki, Jefferson
C - Haywood, Mahinimi
weeeeeeeeeeee staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacked
Says who on the 10 minutes thing? I know you think there's everything to know about the league after the massive Heat collusion and might like to profess, but you can't say with any certainty what plans they have for Haslem.
One possible holdup: Jefferson and Sessions contracts, along with having to double them for the luxury tax, and missing out on the savings from cutting Damp, that comes to about an additional $45 million in financial commitment for next year. I can see the Mavs wanting the Wolves to take on a bad contract or two like Carroll or Marion since they are getting flexibility with turning lose of the commitments to Jefferson and Sessions.
CP3 is a special talent, and worth parting with anything on our roster besides Dirk. But if he's bound and determined to test free agency in 2012, I don't know that he's worth acquiring for a two-year rental. When was the last time a dominant PG led a team to a le? Isiah Thomas?
Sign him to use him as an asset and trade him to another team in a package for something else?
That's the only other thing left I can think of.
In which case, Haslem wouldn't be too happy about that and would cause a ruckus that no team would trade for him. Getting paid 6.6mil to compete on the Mavs is at least better than getting paid 6.6mil to play for the Hornets or Timberwolves. He would turn into a malcontent, wishing he could go back to Miami.
Not a smart plan, not a smart plan at all.
Funny thing is that you could have both Haslem and Jefferson. You waive Najera and you have a very deep and very solid frontcourt. Better than Dirk ever had.
well they can't play him at center, he's only 6-8
I wouldn't say dominant, but Parker was certainly a standout as of late.
I get that. The Mavs plan was to get guys to backup the 4 and 5. With Haslem and Mahimni, they've essentially done just that. But who's to say that they don't (finally) treat the regular season differently this year and give Dirk more rest, allowing more opportunity for Haslem? They likely scoured the FA landscape, nailing down Haslem as a guy that stood out among potential other FAs, someone that has vet experience and can hold down that role effectively. No, he likely won't be in the game if it's a close one under 2:00, but it's safe to say he wouldn't be out there for Miami either.
I like the Haslem and Mahimhi acquisitions if we're getting CP3 or a great wing player, but not at the expense of acquiring Jefferson if we're not getting a major upgrade in the backcourt.
No one should like Haslem for 6.6mil. That's a contract Otis Smith would give out.
That's fine.
The pricetag though. $6.6mil for that is hilarious.
Looks like butthurt more than anything else to me.
wtf lol how can cuban reject such a trade, watta clown...basically giving up for talent in return
LOL Findog,
The only loud noises you'll be hearing is that weird noise on your basement coming from your mama's room, she is moanin ''ohhh dddoooong, give it to me'''''
In a twist of cruel irony, something like this is bound to happen. You'll get rid of Terry (the only guy holding me back from actually being able to get on board w/ you guys when the Spurs inevitably flame out in the playoffs this year) only to bring in Paul and Raja. ing. Bell.
Norm also said that your mama is holding out on the dookieshoot because she is targeting the DPCP3 with my Dust chips.
this guy has a strange obsession/dislike for findog

so.....i guess they piss away another opportunity, waiting to land another pipe dream.
Dude, just go watch the Wolves accept a Carroll and Marion deal.
Kahn is dumber than Muser's ''alleged'' girlfriend.
The Cavs doesnt need Al Jefferson, they already have JJ ''no deal'' Hickson.
