George to sign with Mav

[picnroll]

Nice to see the Mavs postponing Gumps minor European league travels.

Good move for us. He's Manu's .

When the Spurs were looking at him you said...

I'd take George at a good price.

$1.2M is a good price IMO...

[LEONARD]

Hypocrits!! If I'm not mistaken the spurs were interested in signing him not too long ago...

Yep...

Devean George would fit in nicely with the Spurs. His length and athleticism along with his 3P shooting could help the Spurs big time. Talk about a player that could guard Dirk. His not going to be the savior for the Spurs or anything, but a nice role player he is. He has also got playoff experience.

George would give you a little size, a few boards and some range in your perimeter rotation. I wouldn't mind him on the bench.

I'd be comfortable with either George or Jumaine off the bench as a combo forward. Their games are similar. They have the shooting range of a SF, but better than SF rebounding numbers, per minute. Jones is a bit more athletic and a couple of years younger.

Either Jones OR George would be solid pickups IMO. Devean George played well under Phil Jackson's system play, and would do the same here. Also plays pretty darn good defense when healthy as well. Last resort if Jones, Jeffries, or others can't be had.

Devean George and Mbenga are what the Spurs could use, a true center an a long SF. So they are role players. Do you even know what a role player is?

I wouldn't mind having D George on the spurs. He was a key player in the faker's runs for three championship.

During that time he was able to:

1. Be athletic
2. hit the open shots and the three
3. Rebound well
4. Play decent D
5. Be clutch

The problem is all of that has taken hit but he's still good enough to be an effective role player.

[Kori Ellis]

Spurs fans just got completely owned by Mavs fans.

[picnroll]

Gump is too dumb to be a Spur. He'd constantly screw up on defense like he always does and never get off the bench.

A lot of people are Manu's , though.

I said he'd be a good pick-up for the Spurs because he would fit in with this team, because it's similar to the structure of those Lakers teams. Emphasis on defense, multiple threats on offense...I'm not so sure how he'll fit in with Dallas.



That said, for cheap he's still a good pick-up for Dallas. Doesn't mean Manu won't rape him still.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Glad u asked, the plans are going well for the 06-07 season.

BTW, In the Zone '98 sucks!! You deserve to be banned for liking that game.

Pfft, please.

I owened in that game. Just stick shooters in the corners and get a quick guy that can penetrate. The open guy hit it every team. Watchu' know about dat.

The post moves werent' so great though. =/

I would hope Manu could beat him. I can't envision a scenario (other than on a switch) where George would be guarding Manu though. Especially in the 10-12 minutes that George might get.

Wouldn't George and Fox alternate on Manu back in the Shaq/Kobe days?

George is an underrated player, but he NEEDS a big behind him who can swat shots.

Exactly...saying that Manu torches him is pointless for the role he'll play for the Mavs...

[Kori Ellis]

So are the Mavs actually trying to trade for Kenyon Martin?

[MWILL]

I don't think so

You owened in that game cause you were the only person playing that easy piece of game.

George is ok. He'll play for Dallas about as much as he would've for us. Not much.

[J.T.]

Props to LEONARD for pwning the hypocrites. Good game, dude.

I can think of too many reasons for them not to do this but ya never know.

I think they're about done for the offseason. They upgraded their backups and that was their goal.

[cheguevara]

George should have retired after shaq left. He is a waste of bench space

[LEONARD]

Hearing VERY little about it up here...very doubtful IMO...

Props to LEONARD for pwning the hypocrites. Good game, dude.

[Buddy Holly]

George sucks... I would have personally shot Peter Holt or RC had they signed him for anything more than a big mac.

Honestly, there isn't a basketball game out there I like. I could tolerate in the zone, but as far as sports games go I'm only a fan of Madden, MLB: The Show and Fifa (for some odd reason).

You're definition of 'hypocrite' varies from that of the dictionary.

[George Gervin's Afro]

For the league minimum D. George is a decent pick-up (if it's official).
I'd rather have Reggie Evans though.

I just think alot of Spur fans are a little fustrated because, of the offseson moves the Mavs has made. Let's face it, in the offseason Dallas did improve thier team with the 1st rd Draft Pick & they filled their bench with good role players. The Spurs didn't do much, though I think Elson is a good pick-up.

frustrated with the Mavs? your kidding right? What exactly were the Spurs supposed to do? The Mavs blew their only shot at the championship.. and the Mav fans think we're worried??

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Anybody the Mavs bring in who will get Dirk/Terry off the floor is fine by me.

[LEONARD]

I'm curious to know why last season was the Mavs only shot???

[G0D]

3-0 Mavs fans. 3-0.

um... saying that now will not help you guys any more. Mavs are focused on winning championships and the Spurs are falling behind. its time to face the truth. get your head out of the past (that's my job) and look to the future.

anyway, George is a good player. the 3rd best player on the Lakers this year. and he plays good defense. just cause he wont shut down manu doesnt mean its a bad pickup. thats how the spurs fans judge all these moves
