Giving up Beaubois to get a guy marginally better than Josh is stupidity at it's finest.
Then again, nearly every Mavs fan here thought Kidd for Davis/Kaman was a bad idea so why wouldn't they want to trade away the one young talent our team has.
The only part that Cuban should read in that article is this:
lol rapeNowtizki is saying he's not having much fun this season, despite Dallas' solid record, and it's now that you have to mention that Dirk could be a free agent after this season.

Butler is marginally better than Josh? Josh sucks. And Haywood is a good two-way center.
It would be. I'd love Kaman, but the Clips can keep Davis. He's a bum. When was Kidd for Kaman ever on the table?Then again, nearly every Mavs fan here thought Kidd for Davis/Kaman was a bad idea so why wouldn't they want to trade away the one young talent our team has
I'm apprehensive of giving up Roddy B as he represents this team's only real youth. I don't think they'll move him unless a trade assures they'll replace his potential. We're seeing the writing on the wall for Barea. DNPs for a guy that was starting just a couple weeks ago?
I'm all for the mentality of the "win now" mode, but there has to be something viable for 2-3 years down the road. Right now, it's only Beaubois as part of that movement.
Holy crap, that's frightening.
Morey probably pulls the trigger on this one. It wont make us a legit contender but it brings Yao, Battier, Butler, Brooks and Landry all off the books in time for the new CBA.
Beaubois for Butler is Kidd trade part 2.
he says it all the time. i wont say hes lying, but i havent seen him show proof of it either, that Kidd for Baron/Kaman was legitimately on the table.
I've been thinking the exact same thing for a while now too.
None of the players being mentioned to the mavs make them on par with LA oe even better than Denver....mavs will be in salary cap if they go for iggy
God just two weeks ago the Mavs were second in the conference and Mavfan was riding high, saying that we're a piece away from LA. Now we go through a slump and all of a sudden we got no chance to even be better than Denver.
lol Beaubois becoming the new Luol Deng
This is what he did in a short amount of time last game
If he were a spur you would be ing your pants, dont lie.
yo fish... for real... he is looking really well... though i would definitively not me ing my pants... I have DeJuan Blair already filling that role...
Baron Davis is most certainly not a scrub or washed up and would thrive in the Mavs system with Dirk. Not to mention he can still lock guys up defensively. He takes a lot of games off and you can question his heart, but he when he decides to play he is still capable of being a beast.
The article sucks. The guy writing it gives Butler way too much credit or underrates what Beaubois can do. We expect more than Butler if we trade Beaubois. But then again we made that stupid Kidd trade.
Beaubois isn't that good yet. He cant get a proven all star all by himself in a trade.
His potential along with what he has already proven with limited minutes should be an eye opener. Especially for a team that wants to rebuild.
we already have more than one of those type of players. why would we add another?
Because talent wins. I would take games off too if my owner was a racist and my team sucked.
he's a 44% chucker over his career, he's not that talented
That's why you're such a moronic mother er as the bold illustrates. There's no need to waste the time arguing that Smokey is quite an valuable piece of stock on the Mavs squad that they should make the most of, as well as Dampier's contract. In a swap from Josh to Butler you would only get exactly what the Wizards have been trying to get rid of and your own squad wouldn't get an ounce of quality upgrade through such a trade. Despite how damn good Josh used to be, right now this guy has no other value outside his contract which expires when summer comes and it's not even rumor that there're quite a lot of teams seeking such contracts. Even the Rockets are planning to make a frogleap by convecting the prodigious Tracy stock into some instant upgrade, and it doesn't require rocket science to finish the calculation that Josh and Damp's salary plus values roughly as much as T-Mac's.
The only reason Rockets are rumored to pick Butler over Iggy is the Rockets have a cheapass owner identically the same as Spurs owner that won't agree to lose even one dime for luxury tax. The very basic condition for taking Iggy is swallowing either Dalembert's contracts or Brand's, neither of which is far beyond Houston's afford but both are only desserts for Mark Cuban's stomach. Not to mention you don't necessarily have to lose Dampier to get done a deal that brings you both Iggy and Brand, or Iggy and Dalembert.
, just because he is not a good shooter means he is not talented.
If the 76ers happened to be too dumb to make such a deal with Mavs I'd rather remain the same formation and wait for summer to make some deeper changes than pick up a used piece of tampon like what you are.
it seems like a horrible crossover to pile up two elites in Marion and Iggy at the same spot, but that's indeed not an unsolvable condition when it comes to your mind that Marion can be promoted to PF with Dirk at C. That's why I've been advocating a trade involving Dampier whose contract would generate a tremendous dilemma if Mavs keep it till summer, when the Mavs will only have to options on it: either let him walk elsewhere or pick up the team option to pay him 13 million for his service in 10-11, given that Dampier won't accept minimum and Mavs won't afford a mid-level demand.
It's undeniable Rodrígue Beaubois has considerable potential and will probably become a perennial all-star in years, and presumably the very likely consequence of trading him is tons of blames/criticisms thrown in as a sequel of Harris-Kidd deal. But it should be quite clear that such blames/criticisms the Kidd trade has received are absolute nonsense. The Mavs are working for present rather than future with all their pivots on the wrong age side of 30. If Mavs start rebuilding without a ring won by this current crew, jeer should be something well deserved and quite inexorable for this team no matter if they have Rodrígue Beaubois on squad. Rodrígue would only make a rebuilding team look prettier but never would bring such a team anywhere less pathetic that reality. Personally I don't think Kevin Martin gives the Kings better potential than Clippers who have absolute no talent of youth.
