Mavs - The Winning Streak Busters

[YoungB]

is Cubes gonna raise the Streak Busting banner ??? Typical Mavs during the regular season.

C used to be mavs shortest stave before they got TC, and they've been looking rather great since TC joined. imho the SG/F is the strongest position on mavs squad and should be the least in need of refurbishment. you have a number of 10m+ caliber SGs and SFs already, and some of u picklebreaths still insist you need further enhancement at this position, which illustrates nothing but your lack of basketball knowledge.

marion only attacks the rim when he's in position, either with assists or not. Marion doesn't have the skills to initiate the offense from outside the 3-point arc, nor does Butler/JET. JJB and Jason Kidd are your only two guys capable of that tbh. outside of zone Marion & Butler are nothing more than a couple of cheep shooters, and Iggy wouldn't be much more than that imho. Joe Johnson would do a world of good if he joined the mavs and he will be the only G/F swinger that mavs should seriously consider buying.

We're arguing 2009 Shawn Marion vs Iggy right now, so it's not really anything more than me implying you need a real scorer. Iggy is an upgrade over the current Shawn Marion, no doubt about it.

As far as 2009 Marion taking anyone off the dribble, it happened when he would spend time at PF. Marion was also good at getting to the rim by spotting up for three and then driving the lane after the ball rotated to him.

Either way, it would be an upgrade to get Iggy, I just don't see him being the type of scorer Dallas needs to pair with Dirk. Teams don't want the ball in Dirk's hands at all...with Iguodala, they'll gladly let him have the ball and give him the 15 foot J.

if 76ers accept a straight marion-iggy swap, i would do it in a heartbeat. no doubt iggy would be an upgrade but there's no of way it would be a significant one like Tyson Chandler, and you would have to slurp another big contract to have Iggy. Mavs will be starting to rebuild once Dirk's age takes effect, and that can happen anytime considering he's already 32. Iggy will be a fine #2 option to have but a terrible choice to treat as your franchise player and build around (just see how 76ers worked out with him as #1)

JET, Marion etc... will all turn dead stocks sometime, and we can only hope that comes as late as possible.
