kids in highschool are better than what we have.
I wonder if a 50-year-old James Donaldson is better than what we have now.

e20 would be better than what we have now
Call me crazy, but I think Green has a good shot at being our starting SG this year. It seems to me his biggest problem has been his work ethic, well around Dirk I doubt he will have those problems anymore.
I see a lot of upside for this kid, and think he will fit in well with what we are trying to do with J. Kidd.
I know allot of people here seem to think we need to trade for an established shooter, but what do we have to trade? Howard? Who is going to take a small forward for their shooting guard.
It isn't like it is some well kept secret that the 2 is a more important position in the league right now. No one is going to give up a legitimate 2 for a 3. Outside that we don't have much in the way of trade bait. To make a successful trade you have to have something the other team actually WANTS.
Between Green and Foster I think management has done everything they realistically could to shore up the shooting guard position. You can talk Howard for Artest all you want, but I doubt management wants anything to do with that. Thats trading a guy who has the potential to run his mouth and shoot himself in the foot, with a guy who has the potential to run into the stands and shoot his audience. I want nothing to do with that, and doubt Donnie or Mark do either.
im pretty sure the mavs intended on signing green to start and run and gun with kidd.
I really dont mind Green at all. I think he is going to suprize some people, much like Bass did last year, or Alan Henderson did in 04-05, or Diop did when he came here. People don't realize, but the Mavericks have actually found quite a few players recently in FA that no one expected to do much at all, but actually turned them into nice pieces for our teams.
I would love getting Artest here, but fact is, when i examine it more, we are not going to be getting a lot, because he will be here for one year, and thats it, because the Mavs wont have enough money to resign him. we could get better pieces for the future if we were to trade Howard.
Now if we could get Michael Redd for Howard, I would be all over that. But otherwise, about the only thing we could use is a pure, reliable shooter. I think our defense will be much improved now that we have two presences in the middle and will allow guys like Kidd and Howard to play more aggressively on defense and get more turnovers.
The scouting report on Green is that he's nowhere near ready to play heavy minutes for a good team. He's the kind of guy who only gets minutes on a lottery squad.
If Donnie Nelson was/is banking on Gerald Green to be the answer at SG, he's a lot dumber than I thought. And I think he's pretty ing stupid.
Green as the starting SG would make me vomit... I would rather have Jason "tweener" Terry.
And I think you're pretty ing stupid for ruining my once great reputation around here. I can't believe I let a girl get me so worked up, I guess it was just your tough looking DiCaprio avatar
You did it to yourself.
why are you arguing with a troll?
I didn't know it was a girl. I didn't even know that was DiCaprio. It looked like some pissed off guy. I feel honored though that someone would use my name.![]()
Well it's another new week in the offseason. I wonder what GM Donnie Nelson has up his sleeve this week. I'm sure he's working on something to improve the Mavericks as I type this.
Oh wait, no he's not, he's out coaching the emm-effing Chinese National Team! Instead of doing his job!
Is that why the Mavs suck ?
I think that all started when you hopped on the wagon.
so Artest is gone now.
they're really gonna roll out the same team that's had nothing but epic failure 3 years straight? Cuban really believes that's the best thing to do?
this team.
what the ing, sucking, ass ing is this ?!
kings take this garbage for artest when they could've had at least a half-decent player in Brandon Bass
the NBA
Where the is Donnie and why isnt he doing is job? Oh wait he is coaching the ing Chinese national team...that sorry piece of
And why do we have to give up a load to get J-Kidd but everyone else in the league can acquire stud players by giving up absolute garbage
should have swapped jho for artest..
the Mavericks are such a joke of a franchise.
, why jump at the best offer? As the NBA has proven recently, it's completely possible to pawn off your for an All-Star. I'm waiting patiently for that Eddie Jones/James Singleton trade for Lebron to go down. Should be any day now.
The trade for Kidd was different. Kidd had a huge contract and we needed to make the numbers work
But this artest bull is totally unreasonable![]()
Oh and Josh Smith better be on this ing team when training camp comes around or else Donnie Nelson should without a shadow of a doubt, be fired and then have the beat outta his fat ass
