Avery Fired! Official!

[monosylab1k]

Avery wanted Kidd here!!! After the first trade failed, he insisted that the Mavs make the deal and convinced Cuban to pay 12 more million dollars to have him in Dallas.

He screwed himself with that deal.

Not according to OV The Omnipotent Spurs Fan. He apparently used ESP to gather info and found out that Avery wanted no part of Kidd.

[Sportcamper]

The Mavs were 35-18 before giving up Devin Harris and a package of players and picks for Kidd... They went 16-13 after he arrived — 17-17 counting the playoffs….Fire the coach…It is his fault…

[clambake]

avery didn't trust harris

avery and cuban argued over bass' playing time(cuban was right about this)

avery made some of the worst subs utions known to man.

avery just failed miserably on making adjustments.

[Sportcamper]

Avery brought some “Spurs D” emphasis to the Mavs…And from the sound bites I am able to hear from the courtside on TV…He follows the game & makes adjustments…

I like Avery…Other than Dirk I think he was the best thing the Mavs had going….

Avery's press conference is going on right now.

Damn, that guy is a Grade-A Bull ter.

[monosylab1k]

And it's pretty obvious he's read this book cover to cover.

[monosylab1k]

Now apparently the Kidd trade wasn't his fault, not developing Harris properly wasn't his fault, losing to Miami wasn't his fault, the 67 win team was really only as good as a 52 win team, therefore losing to the Warriors is acceptable, he's basically not responsible for anything that went wrong......

....I was starting to feel some sadness over losing Avery, but this bull press conference has killed any good will I was feeling.

Avery.

[clambake]

what else?

[monosylab1k]

He's definitely, without blatantly saying it, making the point that he didn't want Kidd and that Kidd is 100% responsible for this team's failures. At the same time he said he approached Cuban this year and told him "I need a point guard!" and basically called Devin out for not being a good passer.

He's found a way to throw Kidd and Harris under the bus at the same time.

[clambake]

nothing about howard?

[monosylab1k]

nothing about howard?

they asked him about it, but he really didn't offer anything new. Just "bad judgement, hope he gets it together, etc"

He did say there wasn't a positive vibe in the locker room towards Howard by the other guys.

You can tell that he was trying to imply that he didnt want Harris to leave and pass the blame to others....He built up Devin as a 18ppg 8ast guy and said he invested some much time into him....like someone said, GRADE A BSer

[monosylab1k]

What I don't get is...

He says Terry played great at point and that he's the reason they got to the Finals,

And he says that Harris was on the brink of being an All-Star,

So why did he also say that he went to Cuban this year and said "We need a PG"?

According to Avery, he had 2 great ones. According to Avery, he didn't want Kidd. But also according to Avery, they "needed a PG" this season.

That guy is so full of .

[sribb43]

He said he went to management with the players that he felt they needed would help their team and Donnie and Mark went after those guys...Those are guys who are old vets which avery loves....so he just indited himself with that statement

if thats true, why do we need donnie?

[monosylab1k]

if thats true, why do we need donnie?

good question.

[sribb43]

Avery got the players he wanted and it failed...simple as that and thats what led to his demise

[sribb43]

Congratulations Dallas you got rid of that little piece of !!! All you need to do is get or that moron Howard and that ass clown Stack and the team should be looking decent

1 down, 2 to go

[sribb43]

Oh ya and Avery said it was a miracle the mavs made the playoffs

[clambake]

wish we knew the players that went to the party.

and if there was bad vibes toward howard, didn't he think it might reflect on the court?

my guesses would be Wright, George, Damp, Lue

[clambake]

there's only a few of us in here, so, what do you guys think about Dunleavy for coach?

he hates the clips owner and cuban will give him what he needs.

not a fan of dunleavy...my fav is Rick Carlisle. he did good things in indiand but got screwed by Artest and the idiots on that team. Also he did really well in Detriot but got shafted by Larry Brown

[clambake]

i've sat behind the bench during several clip games.

this guy has skills.
