Diop sounds off on Mavs

[td4mvp21]

I don't understand why Mavs fans are taking this so ing lightly. Diop's pissed. He's going to drop 6 and 6 on you next time the teams meet. Watch your back!

NETS AT MAVS

DIOP'S REVENGE. Watch your ass.

[mavsfan1000]

Diop can be a really good player if he is put around players that can score. Dallas had that and that is why I think he will be a big loss to our defense.

You are correct sir. He is a good role player and is valuable in the right mix.

If the Spurs have any interest this summer, in former Mavs center, Desagana Diop, (and I damn sure hope they will), they'll likely encounter some compe ion from the Nets, who are seemingly angling toward retaining his services. He also sounds off on his former team, too.

February 27, 2008 -- Devin Harris, who may make his Nets' debut tomorrow after his first full practice with the team today, was the key acquisition in the trade of Jason KiddJason Kidd . But the guy who originally was seen by many as little more than an expiring contract, DeSagana Diop, also could be a real keeper.

"I think he's going to help us," team president Rod Thorn said of Diop. "He's got a defensive presence, he's athletic, blocks shots, gets rebounds. I think he's a good player. He is someone we will look to re-sign. We like what we see."

Though New Jersey already feels like "home", Diop made one prediction for Dallas.

"They are going to miss me," the 7-foot Diop said. "They got a Hall of Fame star, a point guard. But defensively I really think they're going to miss me.

"You hope they [Nets] want you. At the same time, I know what I can do. I know as long as I stay healthy, I'm going to be around, if not here somewhere else," said Diop, born in Senegal and the No. 8 overall pick by Cleveland in 2001. "But I do look at New Jersey like a home. The coaching staff, everybody, Rod, they're saying they looking at the future so I've got to keep working and then see how it's going to be in the summer."

I love SenorSpur's sense for Basketball. This would be definitely a good adquisition - he was solid when playing the spurs. And he's probably right on everything he says.

Magloire = Nigerian Nightmare

Former KC Chiefs RB Christian Okoye was the Nigerian Nightmare, at least until Steve A er drove his ass back through a hole that his line opened up for him.

Never heard Hakeem called that.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Imo his worth at least 3m-MLE money only for what his going to provide only on defense.....

anything more is overpaying

hey look at guys we once had, rasho 8m/yr, or nazr who were earning above MLE....they come to spurs there stats decline, all we need is a big body in the middle who can play defense and rebounds...

heck is there a 7ft poster on this forum who cant do that at 50k a year? ....

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Both Jason Kidd and Allen said that Magloire still has it. He just didn't fit in because the Nets used the Princeton offense and Magloire is a low post player.

Because the Mavs' offense sooooo runs through the low post...

Magloire couldn't get off the pine in an offense that actually set him up for backdoor cuts every now and then, yet somehow he's going to thrive in the chucker's paradise up in Dallas. This is going to be awesome to watch.

Amazing how Diop has gone from "a great contributor" to "A stiff" in a matter of 2 years.

[monosylab1k]

Amazing how Spurs fans are still so arrogant that they think they understand the Mavericks' situation better than Mavs fans do.

That's what happens when your productions goes to .

Amazing how Dallas fans mistake understanding the game and what makes it more complicated for the Spurs (as in, Harris guarding Parker and Diop guarding Tim) as arrogance.

It's even mroe amazing how in the mind of Spur fans Diop has went from decent low post defender to a wide Bill Russell in even less time.

Amazing how Spurs fans are so arrogant that they think it's all about them, even when it's about Dallas.

[T Park]

Its more amazing how Dallas fan has forgotten the games against the Spurs and what it took to beat the Spurs.

[dirk4mvp]

It's also pretty amazing how Spur fans don't realize Dirk won us that series not Diop blocking a few shots and Duncan missing a few point blank layups.

[monosylab1k]

I understand that losing Harris & Diop hurts Dallas against San Antonio. I guess if the Spurs were on the schedule 82 times this year, the trade would be a total failure. But they're not.

I'll take my chances in a 7 game series against the Spurs with the team we've got. It's not like we had a guaranteed series win with Harris/Diop either.

Yeah Diop didn't play good defense, nor did Devin Harris.

Thats fine, We like that you guys are in a haze over everything.

Nope. Just Duncan missing point blank layups he's supposed to miss. No surprises at all.

"it's OUR website, so you accept what WE say! Nyahhh!"

This is true. Devin and Diop were more important than Dirk, Josh and Terry.
