I will take your word for it.
TC failed the medical test imho otherwise he would've joined OKC before the bobcats
btw nothing feels closely as bad as being a imo

Not one bad post from Ghazi. He never turned his back on his team.
Dampier was supposed to be the defensive anchor of the Mavs, but ended being an white elephant. Eventually by trading him the Mavs obtained the last player they needed for a championship team.
They could have probably win more with better coaches and better trades. It took the Mavs a really long time to put the right coach and the right combination of players around Nowitzki.
Truth be told, Ghazi is the one person who has the right to say anyone was "Wrong bout dem Mavs". He's the only person who wasn't.
Props, but I was more referring to Mavfan giving people for being wrong. Most of them were as wrong as everyone else.
With that said, I don't blame them at all for being pessimistic every step of the way.
back on page 7 when DAF went on a quotefest
BUMP

DAF seriously saying Vince Young would be superbowl MVP (and then of course saying he wasn't serious) makes quoting wrong predictions something he shouldn't do tbh.
actually DAF didn't say anything groundbreaking, all he said was this
"I think this move will be a lot better than what Mavs fans think, and the Jefferson one wouldn't have been as good as they thought it could be"
that basically says nothing
The only question mark on TC was his ability to stay healthy.
Hornets tried to trade him to OKC to get rid of his salary for expiring contracts, get under the luxury tax for the following season, and get two healthy frontcourt players in Chris Wilcox and Joe Smith who would have helped the team the rest of the season. If that trade went down, Hornets would have finished better than 7th in the West and possibly could have advanced out of the first round, plus would have had more cap room in the future. Instead, they get stuck with an injured TC and have to go with a rotation of Hilton Armstrong, Melvin Ely, and Sean Marks the rest of the season.
The reason TC was traded to Charlotte was because the Hornets felt he was damaged goods, plus they wanted to get under the luxury tax at the time, and acquire a durable, solid everyday center in Okafor who has been that. I would still do the trade to OKC today to be honest because it would have helped the Hornets alot more than having an injured TC for two seasons even though TC was the 2nd best player on that 2007-2008 Hornets team. His foot injury in Game 5 was a huge reason why they lost the Spurs series because they had to double Duncan the rest of the series and he was as effective offensively in the pick n roll.
I'm pretty sure Dallas had no idea what impact TC would have on the team especially after re-signing Haywood to a big contract, but to their credit, they started TC right away after proving to be healthy for Team USA and looking good in the preseason.
with these takes. Were you mad that you were so wrong and you couldn't celebrate Koolaid_man?
Mav fan to DPG
Mav fans to TC:
U Wrong girl
U mad that everyone knows how you are Kool now. Does that ruin all the cool stuff you had planned for the internet?
I'm only here to talk basketball though. You are a racist murderer and you need to change the person you are inside. I am here to help, just PM me Kool.
No time for losers cuz we are the champions!!!!!
How's this for value?

This I think needs to be explored further. I just saw things differently than most, but others saw it their way. I wonder if now seeing what transpired if smart posters feel more like I did at the time or more like the other poster?
