Who the is ode to triple ocho?
Oh that's right, just another generic laker stick who nobody knows Move along, everyone.
and something he's doing in a contract year, something he won't do next year, and something he's only done once before in a Dallas uniform. Haywood > Damp.
Haywood > Damp, which was my original point. If you want to start a thread stating that the Lakers > Mavs, be my guest. Stay on topic please.well he won't and he really doesn't change the Mavs destiny either way

Tim Duncan is the best center in the West.11 points, 17 rebounds, 3 blocks
to the best center in the West
I would have traded Josh for Brendan straight up. Getting Caron/Stevenson is triple icing on the cake.
And Dallas got rid of Gooden. Dude was straight garbage.
Well yea I sorta do. He's currently at 9.9ppg and 10.40 rebounds. He'll get way more easy baskets with jkiddo. Rebounds maybe not. If they actually get some practice time I would expect more good looks.
Has Stevenson even seen the court yet? I haven't had a chance to watch much since the all star game except bits and pieces here and there.
yeah he played some very productive minutes last night. hit a three and some open midrange shots, solid defense, and a really nice hustle play that led to an assist to dirk on the fast break.
He played a pretty decent stint. One thing I'll say, I'm not sure I've ever seen many NBA players run up and down the court without the ball as quickly as he did, really sprinted to the other end.
It made me realize how few do it.
If Stevenson can end up being a productive role player, that will make this trade an absolute heist. He was only included to make the #s work.
I've always thought since the news broke about this trade that Stevenson was a nice addition to the trade. Last year, who did we have to throw at the Kobe's, Carmelo's, Wade's, and Lebron's? Antoine motha in Wright? This year we can throw Marion, Butler, and Stevenson (all 3 solid perimeter defenders) at those guys for stretches.
Not to mention if any of those guys get beat, they have two great defensive centers behind them to come help.
Who are the backup powerfowards? Najera and who else? I know Tim Thomas is on leave due to a family illness right? Tim Thomas could be a nice player if he returns for the playoffs. He has a nack for being a productive player in the playoffs.
Najera is basically it right now. He can play 10 minutes a night, and that's all we need him for. In the playoffs, Dirk will play 42-44 minutes a night.
That's why I really wish we still had Humphries, he's > than Najera, and when Thomas comes back we can send Carrol/Najera to the inactive list.
I agree. Getting Haywood and giving up Gooden is an amazing improvement all by itself. Adding Butler and even Stevenson is just icing on the cake.
He's no Dampier.
I'd like to see Carlisle use Beaubois(spelling?) in spurts at worse case scenario. While he is raw, he brings a spark that you could use at times.
Najera is a still good hustle player who can hit the open 3 no? You can live with him getting those 10-minutes a night.
Agreed, the whole pretending Beaubois is too young and inexperienced to warrant any playing time and being part of the rotation thing is lame. At the VERY WORST case scenario, he's still better than Barea, and that gap would only widen with each passing game.
Not against the Lakers. Gasol/Bynum or even Odom would put some work on his ass.
I can live with it sure, but Humphries was basically Najera's hustle + younger and better overall. He was giving us nice rotation minutes at the beginning of the year. Just seems like we gave up depth for no apparent reason to me. The main reason I was worried at the time is that I figured Tim Thomas wouldn't be reliable, and sure enough he's been out for how long now?
He's oozing with talent, but he's very raw. Last night he was falling for all of TJ Ford's tricks and getting lost on defense. Along with Butler and Haywood, you can't have three guys out there at the same time who aren't yet sure about where they're supposed to be or what to do in various sets, but the only way Roddy is gonna learn is by playing.
The Humphries-Najera trade was for financial reasons.
His wife is really sick and there's no word on when he'll be back.The main reason I was worried at the time is that I figured Tim Thomas wouldn't be reliable, and sure enough he's been out for how long now?
Haywood is on a mission; straight up beasting for that contract, much like Boozer except Boozer has more of an offensive game...
Have you guys checked Boozer's game logs? He has been dropping 20/20 this year quite frequently.
