Beaubois? Man, that'll suck for Dallas.
quote from carslile tonight
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baske...r-injury_N.htm
but the Mavericks were preparing to play an extended time without the 6-foot-7 forward who entered the night averaging 15.4 points.
"We're afraid that it's potentially serious," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. "We'll find out (Sunday) where things are at, probably later in the day."
Butler was to stay in Milwaukee overnight and return to Dallas on Sunday to be further examined.
Rumors that cuban will trade Roddy Beaubois and Butlers expiring contracts for a big name, keep hearing Joe Johnson in ATL.
Stay tuned
Beaubois? Man, that'll suck for Dallas.
It's funny, I remember thinking the other day that the Mavs would get desperate and trade for Johnson, even though there's been no rumors. He's clearly in decline and is at the beginning of a horrendous contract, but for this season, at least, that trade would help the Mavs.
He's not having a great season (though he's been battling injury and rushed back . . . if he get's 100%, I expect him to revert to at least close to previous form) and not good enough to be a go-to player for a championship team (like Nowitzki), but maybe in conjunction they can fill that role for the Mavs. I still don't think they'd win the championship, but I think they'd have a puncher's chance.
For the Hawks, if they could pull this off, what a coup it would be. They've plateaued anyway and would not only rid themselves of an albatross, but get a promising young player and a big expiring contract in return. This would free them up to trade Teague for Thompson (supposedly Kings offered early in season) and if they so choose, re-sign Crawford.
Wouldn't shock me at all if they made a run at Gerald Wallace or Stephen Jackson or both.
Dallas and Cuban frantically panicking like always....
I would be pissed if they got Stephen Jackson.
He would dominate on that team.
please God do not let the Mavs get Gerald Wallace.
Not saying they will, but reading twitter tonight and some DMN columnists it sounds like Butler is done for the year and thats who Cuban might go after.
Heres hoping Butler is not done for the year and came make a recovery, would suck if it was a serious injury.
Only the salary cap would make teams desperate enough to provide a contender with another helpful piece. It's a weird, weird business.
(Scola thread?)
I could see the Mavs making a deal with Philly to try and get Iggy. They could be stupid/desperate enough to take on Elton Brand if it meant getting iguodala.
If Butler is out for the year which some people seem to be saying than that is a huge blow for that team.
damn it, it seems like dallas doesn't stay dead. they keep pulling trade chips out of their ass. first it was kidd, then butler and haywood, then chandler, now potentially johnson/wallace/jackson.
you can trade injured players?
Art Garcia just said on Twitter a bit ago he's told its a torn patella tendon.
Thats season ending correct?
I believe so but not 100% sure.
They've called Dominique Jones up from the D-League.
Why hope he makes a recovery? So he can help the mavs beat the spurs in the playoffs?
Caron wasn't a great fit on the Mavs in my opinion anyways. It would be very scary if they could get Gerald Wallace on that team, and they potentially have the pieces to do it. Can the rebuilding Bobcats really turn down an offer of Rodrique/Caron's expiring/two 1st round picks for Gerald?
Dallas would become a top 3 defensive club in the league, if not #1.
Could definitely be scenarios where Caron going down potentially means Dallas just improved their chances at a le.
Dirk, Chandler, & Wallace would be one uvea nasty frontline in terms of scoring and defense.
I agree if the mavs can pull a trade off for Wallace this injury would suck. I refuse to sit and wish goodwill for the guy however, since he plays for the arch-enemy inter-state rival for crissake.
Nobody on here would expect you show any kind of sportsmanship.
Not gonna happen.
Sorry I don't subscribe to this happy snappy bull .
To me, sportsmanship is extending a hand to a guy you just knocked on his ass to send him to the free throw line. But I'm not gonna sit in my spare time hoping a guy makes a quick recovery so he can help beat me in the playoffs, sorry.
So sue me that I prefer to see the spurs to win a championship than Caron Butler making a quick recovery. And while I celebrate and have a blast when the spurs win a championship you can continue to mourn about freakin' Caron Butler. Loser.
LOL loser. When have you ever even competed in a sporting event? Your post cements the fact that you absolutely have no a clue what sportmanship is.
Sorry in advance if your post season is going to be spent lamenting Caron Butler's injured knee. Must suck for you.
Umm not really. Your the one that seems to be worried about Butler being some sort of Spurs killer if the Mavs and Spurs meet in the playoffs. I'm just acknowledging Butler's bad luck, and hope he makes it back from his injury.
