Mavs: Amare to sign with Mavs

[m>s]

oh ok... i guess I wont cheer for the mavs any more then wtf I do to you

Did you mean how long until chandler is back? Lol

[ElNono]

Felton is still a Mav. They traded Nelson iirc.

oh

[Sean Cagney]

What a difference a year makes in terms of the Mavs roster, I thought they had dark days ahead this time last year with that roster. Hats off to Cuban and Nelson for the makeover

No matter what every single year or so they switch rosters, even after the le year lol. They always look different next year, that you can count on. I am not saying they are worse off but honestly they never keep a team together long enough to really gel and that is why they only have one le IMO. They don't have the continuity but yes after missing the playoffs that one year and last years 8th seed I thought dark days were ahead, they did turn it around with some moves and are better this year.

Isn't the Big 3 and Pop the only thing the 2007 and 2014 Spurs have in common?

Another name signing by the Mavs. Nothing to see here.

Wtf. Josh Smith signing was the same thing. Except at least amare don't hang out on the perimeter all game bricking threes

But "continuity" wins championships or something, not adding another All Star and a slew of good bench players.

sorry, that was a typo, I meant a Big Four of Tim, Tony, Manu and Matt.

Josh Smith is actually league average from 3 with the Rockets while he has been here and usually fills up the entire stat sheet. Amare is not the player anymore that will move the needle much for the Mavs imo.

After some early struggles Josh has been good. Especially since Dwight went out. I was hating on the move at first but it was a good pickup especially with Coward's bulky knee. Harden has been able to feed him for some easy scores I dont know if it's a "lefty" thing ...but I think their chemistry has been solid.

I'd have loved for the Mavs to keep more of the 2011 team. If anything they could have used that as leverage to bring in better FAs.

Oh well, at the very least that did rebuild a nice team now. But keeping a core 3 as the Spurs have, seems to have been a better option in the long run.

[Spurs9]

I'm sure Rondo and Amare will get along

this. that was all I was arguing. If you kept tyson and Dirk and added VC and or montae that is a high level team. Do you beat Spurs any of the years after 2011? Maybe not, but with RC working his magic they pushed them last year ...

[DAF86]

Another turd to the wall. I doubt this one sticks.

[Phillip]

hilarious to see spurfans and all the spermshooting that was going on upstairs over the possibility of getting Amare for 15-20 bench minutes a game, and the second he goes to dallas for the exact same purpose, suddenly he sucks, its a horrible acquisition, and hes the worst basketball player on earth

Even more, I think by keeping Tyson and having VC and Monta you then have enough assets to go and pull a trade for a big time player. Maybe you can package Monta and Rondo, with expiring deals and go get Melo. Or use Tyson and VC/Monta to go and get Cousins. A better team is always much easier to re-tool around because you have more assets to play with.

The Spurs dont reshape their main pieces every year. They got this team together here in 012 and let it gel and got a le and a Finals appearance, they did not blow it up afterwards.


They add a piece or two as they did in the 00's le runs but usually keep the core. Mavs have had so many re shapes it's hard to keep up.

Did you check that the guys that were "spermshooting" about Amare upstairs are the same guys saying he sucks here? If not your comment is irrelevant.
