It won't be Josh Smith. That's too obvious and the word is already out. They like to 2nd guess themselves and will be at the other end of a lopsided trade for a piece of .
Unless there's a major move on the horizon for some player we haven't mentioned yet, it may be another wasted season. Not to say that I've given up on the team. It appears that management loves the smell of their own too much to pull the trigger on anything that may upset the delicate balance that is this Mavericks roster.
the Mavericks are such a joke of a franchise.
I almost feel badly for the players that buy into the preached to them from on high.
Then I remember that they're millionaires and it doesn't hurt so much.

The Mavs shoulda traded for me when they had the chance
But they let me go to Miami & I had to kick their ass
Tryin to hack at me, Nellie and his fat face
Yo Mavericks, tell me how my ass taste!
Rappin' Shaq is a damn solid SpursTalk character. I approve.
this guy is awesome.
Not sure why everyone is salivating over Josh Smith. We would have to trade Howard to get him. You're overrating Smith and underrating Howard if you think that is a huge talent upgrade although it's obvious Smith is the better player. a HUGE talent upgrade is what the Lakers gave up for Gasol and the bag of potato chips the Rockets gave up for Artest. Howard for Smith is incomparable to those two examples. People complain about the lack of shooting guard or low post scoring and smith fills neither, although watching that freakish of an athlete with Kidd would be marvelous, I doubt it's a part of the championship puzzle. I would rather keep Howard and acquire a guy like Jason Richardson than swap Howard for Smith.
It would be good for the future as well though since Smith is 6 years younger, but I'm still thinking about winning now, not the future!
Rappin Shaq is in' awesome!
That's why the Mavs should re-acquire Loren Meyer, Doug Smith, George McCloud and even Tim Legler....to use them in a trade.
I'm all for getting Jason Richardson. His athleticism, shooting, and just overall explosive scoring ability will be nice to have, as well as the size for the 2 spot. I wonder if we could trade garbage for him as well...
The Mavericks aren't going to get else besides D-League scrubs. They love their team and we're going to see this same suck ass crew next season.
Anyways, their front office has more important things at hand. Donnie has to coach the Chinese National Team. Cuban has to buy the Cubs. How could they possibly find the time to run the Mavericks this offseason with more important things like that on their plate?
Donnie too busy teaching the pick and rowrr and how to sram dunk the bawrrr.
LOL! It wont be the same "suck ass crew".
Qbunz wont allow it.
its not in his nature.
you guys need a new gm or something.. cuban the owner is willing to spend but im not sure cuban the basketball wiz is too smart.
I would love j-Rich on this team, he's everything we need in a two guard, plus i doubt he's part of the Bobcats future so he might be available.
Oooooh...sorry, too late. Just traded to the Hornets for the retired rights to Grandmama. Charlotte also sent $15 million to New Orleans, just because.
Donnie said Mavs weren't interested in quality players for pennies or free cash in return.
reminds me of that City Wok guy on south park!!!

Here's our likely roster/depth chart if we go to war with what we have and don't make another move. Drink it in, see if this goes down smooth:
Center: Dampier/Diop
Power Forward: Dirk/Bass
Small Forward: Josh/Singleton
Shooting Guard: Stack/Terry/Wright/Green/Foster
Point Guard: Kidd/Terry/Barea
That's not...terrible
I guess I would distribute the minutes this way in the regular season:
Center: Dampier 20, Diop 20, Dirk 8
Power Forward: Dirk 26, Bass 22
Small Forward: Josh 32, Singleton 8, Wright 8
Shooting Guard: Stack 12, Terry 12, Wright 8, Foster 8, Green 8 (hopefully one of these bags of suck would emerge over the other bags of suck and claim the starting job)
Point Guard: Kidd 32, Terry 16
Dirk: 34 mpg
Josh, Kidd: 32 mpg
Terry: 28 mpg
Bass: 22 mpg
Damp, Diop: 20 mpg
Wright: 16 mpg
Stack: 12 mpg
Foster, Green, Singleton: 8 mpg
It's not terrible, but it is what you have had for the past few years.
What we've had the last few years has been pretty good. I don't know how to feel about the upcoming season. Part of me thinks the Mavs will be a little better than what they showed under Avery and the West won't be quite as tough as last season. I think we'll see a more normal distribution of wins instead of it being top-heavy like it was last year.
I think Denver and GS took a step back for sure, with only Portland there to pick up the slack. I don't think the Clippers can be counted on to make the playoffs with Camby and Davis' injury histories. I think Dallas is just as good as Phoenix and Portland at the very least, and should be able to grab one of the 6-8 seeds for sure. Vaulting into the top four depends on picking up an impact player ala the Lakers w/ Gasol and the Rox w/ Artest. Dallas is one impact player away right now.
I really, really hope stack does not start even once this season
Donnie says he has discovered 3 cant miss guys in China and he plans to bring them over for training camp
