Mavs: Mavs going hard after Kevin Martin?

[Leetonidas]

Kevin Martin....c'mon Dallas

[m>s]

We could actually used the floor spacing. Ellis and parsons are mediocre three point shooters and rondo can't shoot at all neither can Harris. We could work him into certain lineup situations

[Leetonidas]

True tbh but he is an atrocious defensive player, hope big daddy Tyson can mask him being a traffic cone.


Are Mavs fans happy with Rondo at this point?

[Bulaien999]

Kevin Martin would get points through out the game until the fourth quarter... when it was time to close out

[Killakobe81]

CN acting salty but would be the first one trumpeting about Martin's prowess if the Clips got him.


... on second thought, maybe not. You've taken a shine to the self-loathing of the upstairs krew in hating your own players.

Ding!!!

[Killakobe81]

Kevin Martin was supposed to fill Harden's void (atleast in the short term) after the trade and he lasted a year. Even Jeremy Lamb has lasted longer in OKC. Yeah, what an absolute star.

great freaking trade!!!

[mavsfan1000]

When you don't play D, you have more energy to shoot well. Kevin Martin a perfect example of that.

^& his shot release from the belt buckle. Forget it.

Did you just try to say that Martin sucks because the front office that TRADED AWAY JAMES HARDEN couldn't find a use for him?

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of their basketball a en there, chief. Reggie Jackson is a terrible chucker AND a far worse defender than Martin and they play him 20 minutes per game.

Reggie ing 28% from 3 Jackson.

smh you dumb got

I can tell you're going down with this ship so ok, you win. Kevin Martin is UNDISPUTABLY an 'ABSOLUTE STAR' who's ALSO a MUCH better DEFENDER than REGGIE ing jackson.

[FkLA]

that REGGIE ing JACKSON guy is a MUCH much WORSE DEfender

[Malik Hairston]

Dallas has such a strange roster, tbh..Chandler, Ellis and maybe Dirk are the only players on the roster that seem to have a concrete, defined role..

[Findog]

Adding Amare and Kevin Martin to your bench are no brainer moves. It doesn't guarantee the Mavs in the playoffs, but it makes them a better team.

I agree with this, the Mavs bench looks pretty awful from a talent standpoint(Amare was a good move), but I still think their team is built strangely..you could argue that the 2011 team was also "throwing on the wall", but that team had an entire roster of players with defined roles..

Carlisle found their roles later on. At the beggining Cuban was just getting big name players that were slightly past their primes and Carlisle somehow made it work. Kidd came as a hall of Famer fast-breaking PG and ended up being a great defensive PG that would get the team on their sets and knock down the open 3 (something he never has done before on his career), Marion came to be the high flying, slasher wing and ended up as a defensive specialist, when he got Peja I'm sure he got it with the idea of being something more than just a 15 mpg bench player yet he fulfilled that role. The only move that seemed to be made thinking more about the cohesive work of a team than just getting a recognisable name was the acquisition of Tyson Chandler.

It's not that bad of a strategy tbh, if you get smart past-prime all-stars like Kidd, Marion and Carter that are willing to adapt you get a team of above average skills for role playing parts.

Sure, but Kidd had already been a defensive-oriented player at one point in his career, as was Marion..the transitions to defensive role players wasn't farfetched, even prior to actually utilizing them in such roles..

Peja was also a 3-point shooting specialist for his entire career, obviously..

The current Mavs team doesn't have any 3&D players, their PG doesn't know what to do in their system, and Parsons-types are the most difficult players to fit on a roster IMO(what exactly does he do at a high level?)..Rondo could become a defensive specialist at PG, but he can't shoot, so obviously that doesn't work(unlike Kidd)..

It's a similar strategy in theory, but completely different in terms of execution of the strategy IMO..

And now Monta Ellis is playing the best ball of his career for Dallas. Same with Tyson Chandler, he was a decent defensive big for Chicago, NOLA and Charlotte, but he took off with the Mavs. Dallas is gaining a rep as a place where players come to get better, similar to what the Spurs have already done. Mavs are like a watered-down version of the Spurs.

Yeah, Parsons has been a severe disappointment for almost any amount of money.

Well, outside of Pop and maybe Thibs, there's no one I'd rather have to develop a player other than Carlisle. And considering Thibs thinks that all of his athletes do ultramarathons in the off-season, I'd probably still take Carlisle.

Going to be interesting to see if the Mavs can remain contenders after Dirk is gone. They definitely have some pieces there.
