What's in store for the Mavericks?

[Shank]

I agree with some of your points, but you can never have enough defense, especially in the playoffs. G Wall will be healed by playoff time I believe and that's when the Mavs need to showcase that their regular season is a preview of what they can do in the playoffs.

It would depend on the cost of Wallace. If Dallas can get Jackson for Butler's contract, that's almost a no-brainer. I actually like what Stevenson is doing for this team and would like to hang onto him instead of including him as a part of any package that doesn't turn into Carmelo.

Jackson is overrated and like Butler, isn't a legit #2 option, but I guess it would be a good move if the Mavs didn't have another choice..he does bring toughness and his balls scrape the floor, he also seems to dislike Kobe and the Lakers, so that would be another incentive, since they could very likely play them in the playoffs..

He's an underrated passer(especially on the P&r with cutters, so Chandler would benefit) and wouldn't be a defensive downgrade from Butler(probably around the same defensively, Jax might be a little better), and he has a better chance of getting hot from outside..

His main flaw is that he has horrible shot selection and he takes up a lot of time in the clock on every possession, similar to Caron Butler..his shot selection might be different with the Mavs, since they have more offensive options than Charlotte, so he would have less "freedom"..

H

I would make the move, since there doesn't appear to be a better option..Iguodala would be pretty much the same IMO..Martin is much better than any of these guys offensively, but he would obviously be a defensive liability, so I'm not sure I would go for it..

Maybe overrated, but provides offense and toughness. The mavs could do worse, but Charlotte's is probably gonna ask for too much.

I'm still not 100% sold that the backup PG position is shored up. I still can't stand Barea out there.

Isn't Beaubois supposed to be the backup PG when he comes back?

He would have been, no doubt, if he'd been playing through the summer and showed something in Summer League. As it stands, he didn't show well in those auditions and is a huge question mark for that position.

[Shank]

there are bigger things to worry about than backup PG when you already have kid, jet, beaubois, etc who can dribble the ball down the court for s sake. someone to create in the halfcourt and backup PF are both much bigger concerns tbh.

I didn't say it was a priority. I just figure if we're putting together a shopping list for , why not kick that little Barea out?

if a trade isnt made then its 1 and done again for the Mavs. If the Mavs FO thinks that Roddy is going to come back and put them over the top this year, they are sadly mistaken. With a lockout looming, this old aging core does not have the legs left to piss away another season. Mavs are fooling themselves is they think they can win anything with this roster sans Butler. A trade needs to made and Omar in' Casspi is not the answer

[ezau]

oui

[frodo]

getting mayo or cassipi would be great imho.

sand trigga hits 3s and plays D, he'd not make us elites instantly but he'd be certainly a +. trade exceptions + picks + minimums for mayo or cassipi and butler's 10m will be used elsewhere for another big name, like sjax, iggy-brand or probably even melo

[u4lakers14]

are you really roddy?

oui

its true.

i saw him with a chick with braided armpit hair at the pants store.

if you were roddy, cuban wouldnt let you use a computer for fear of breaking your wrist.

[Shank]

Casssssssssspi. Say it with me now. Casssssssssspi.

Casspi couldn't be combined with another player I believe until 90 after after he is acquired and by the time that deadline passes, the trade deadline would have passed as well

[in2deep]

How can we be so sure?

Simple: The Mavs always make a trade.
