And that he's disappointed.
Seriously, what the , Dallas?
After Chandler, it doesn't matter if we keep Barea or not. We won't be good enough with or without Barea. Even with Chandler, it is questionable if we are good enough based on our aging group. I think Cuban already is thinking about saving money and rebuilding.
Rodrigue Beaubois, Rudy Fernandez, Dominique Jones.
JJ had several unbelievable moments and games in the championship run, but it's better for the Mavs to let him walk than give him more money than he really deserves and just let those young guards try to develop. They caught lightning in a bottle in the playoffs. When you do that, you don't open the bottle and try to play with it.
I'm sure Rick Carlisle will be crushed if and when it's official.
They'd be morons to overpay for him with Beaubois there. Now Chandler has to be brought back at any cost for them to have a chance to defend their le.
Not saying Barea was going to make up for the loss of Chandler...but they're dropping like flies. Half the championship team is going to be gone. Should give Dirk another chance...at least try, even without Chandler.
And yeah, I know I'm more sentimental than a lot of fans. That does contribute to me being bummed out by this.
There is no way in Cuban is going to let Chandler walk after a le; especially when he has two big salaries in Kidd and Terry coming off the books next summer.
It would be kind of a big deal to let Terry walk next year. I know people here aren't fans, but he's done a lot for Dallas and he has not been shy about saying he wants to retire here.
Not saying letting him go couldn't happen, it would just be harsh.
Where is he going?
It's pretty much a given that Dirk, Terry, and Kidd will end their careers as Mavs. I'd say it's also a given that their numbers are retired too.
Cept Barea actually did it. Beaubois was supposed to.
don't let my beloved jj and tc leave the mavewicks
your emo threads are getting annoying. players change teams all the time, life goes on.
Jam is right, you cant overpay a 6th man with similar skills to roddy.
Cully is right JJB is proven Roddy B is not.
But Mavs FO knew they would face these tough choices ... if they are not comfortable making them they are in the wrong position.
sometimes when you win a le you lose Ariza but replace him with Artest and it pays off. Often times you keep the core together and it fails like with Lakers last year or the Celts in 2009 ...
Barea is a scrub who got hot at the right time. Teams who sign guys like that to long-term deals always regret it. Two Spurs examples were Jaren Jackson and Nazr Mohammed. Luckily the Spurs weren't the one to give Mohammed the big contract (LOL Detroit).
It happens.
lol even the Mavs know the ring was fluke and are hoping to hop on the next winner
tbh you'd make a great GM imo
"THE WHOLE TEAM WON A CHAMPIONSHIP!! THEY ALL DESERVE TO BE OVERPAID!!"
Never said such.
The Mavs rang, '>0, now and forevermore, and there's nary a gdmfing thing you can do about it.
^Preach the gospel, Mono. The Book of Castleberry.
lol cubes admitting his fluke championship
If he worked for a sports team, there would be another Penn State/Syracuse scandal with tens of hundreds of children coming forward with allegations of whiskey, fondling children, shower butt sex, and chuck box stories.
Didn't you quit this forum, twice?
This.
If they want to be serious players for getting a big-name player to come to Dallas, they need to give that player something to look forward to. They have to develop their young talent and showcase them as much as possible, whether it be for use in a trade, or to attract people to the talented youth that the Mavs have.
It probably kinda sucks for Kidd, Terry and Dirk, but there couldn't be much better veterans for youth to play under and learn from, than these guys. They are still capable of leading them and making things easy enough for the young players to get the team to the playoffs. Championship aspirations? Unlikely. But still this could really help the youth develop well, as they have some sort of youthful talent at basically every position (Roddy - PG, Jones - SG, Brewer - SF, Mahinmi - PF/C). If they can at least get one or two of them to pan out into decent NBA players, that should help the rebuilding process that comes when Dirk is done, or help attract a potential star.
