    This is without a question, the most talented team the Mavericks have had. Of course, talent isn't everything, but it seems like they not only are talented as , but balanced too.

    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.
    his main problem is he gets eaten alive by picks

    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.
    neat

    This thread isn't about talented, lazy asses who play hard when he wants to. This is about the badass that is Brendan Haywood. gtfo.

    Really?

    Even the year you had Van Exel as your 6th man? Or the following year when you had Nash/Finley/Howard/Daniels/Jamison/Walker/Dirk?

    The Humphries-Najera trade was for financial reasons.
    I'm more worried about the product out on the court than Cuban's wallet tbh. Humphries was a great glue guy for this team.



    His wife is really sick and there's no word on when he'll be back.
    All I know is that the guy was involved in some kind of late night thing at Ihop or Denny's, I can't really remember which, and it got really hushed up and all of the sudden he hasn't played a game since. The whole situation with Josh this year is another sketchy area. It seems like he would always come back at the most awkward times and then some other random injury would pop up. They were definitely not playing him at times when he was too ed up to play in order to protect his trade value. Then all the sudden he was magically playing heavy minutes in the few games right before the trade to raise his value. Sure enough right after the trade, news comes out that they sat him once before because he was too hung over to play, and some words are exchanged back and forth. Not to mention the whole thing with Dampier being out with what seems to be the AIDS, until the more recent "dislocated finger" excuse. All I'm saying is that there are some funny things going down in big D sometimes. I don't really know if Tim Thomas' wife is really sick or not, or if that's really the whole story. It could just be a convenient excuse, she may not really be on her deathbed, it could be something less serious than advertised. I can never really tell what's going on behind the scenes, just that there's some funny business here and there.

    the year with jamison and walker may actually be the most offensively talented team, but it was a re ed mix of talent (mainly due to walker)

    this is a much better mix all around of defensive ability, offensive ability, and athleticism. the mavericks might be the most well balanced team in the league now.

    Like i said before, it wont take long (if it hasnt already) for Dallas fan to realise Brendan Haywood will be the real difference maker from the trade, not Caron Butler.
    Most of us said this before the trade even was official...

    Mavs BBIQ increased exponentially by removing jho, gooden and hump and replacing with Haywood, butler and najera

    Why throw Humphries in there? He's not a low BBIQ player IMO, he gave us nothing but solid rotation minutes. Let's not throw a player under the bus just to justify his no longer being with us.

    Haywood > Damp.
    Basically the same player just younger and can finish around the basket slightly better. Hardly a huge upgrade, just a replacement.


    Haywood > Damp, which was my original point.
    Barely which was my original point. Hardly makes Dallas 'stacked' or a much better team.

    If you want to start a thread stating that the Lakers > Mavs, be my guest. Stay on topic please.
    Cool strawman bro. Sorry if you're butthurt over someone pointing out the truth. Go make a thread about it. Topic is Brenda mutha in Haywood which I'm currently discussing. He won't be changing the end result in Dallas. Stay on topic please.

    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.
    I think right now it's more shawn marion than najera, najera is taking all small center minutes. That'll stop once dampier gets here or the new kid from the d-league actually. TimThomas back would be really nice but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

    Well too bad you don't own the team. Saving money (to possibly get the deal done for example) makes sense.

    All I know is that the guy was involved in some kind of late night thing at Ihop or Denny's, I can't really remember which, and it got really hushed up and all of the sudden he hasn't played a game since.
    Wrong again, check the dates and the game logs, he played in NY for example. You don't know what you are talking about. So just quite yacking to hear yourself type.

    Yes, he's "basically the same player," which means he fumbles entry passes and only plays hard in a contract year.


    Barely which was my original point.
    "He's (barely) better," "He's the same player." Pick a lane please.

    Hardly makes Dallas 'stacked'
    Where did I say Dallas was "stacked?"

    or a much better team.
    Butler/Haywood/Stevenson for the Josh Howard Poo Poo Platter makes Dallas a much better team. How much better? We'll find out in May.



    He won't be changing the end result in Dallas
    Not this year. But with Dampier's partially guaranteed contract, there is hope for next year.

    so because Dallas got a center that can catch a ball, all of a sudden they are contenders?

    In addition to getting a wing that isn't a lazy pothead, they're contenders to lose to the Lakers in the Conference Finals. And they have Damp's contract to parlay in the summer.

    W/O Haywood: 8 straight games of yielding 100+ points.

    With Haywood: 5 straight games of yielding < 100 points.

    Spur Fan, worry about your own ty team. What's hilarious is that if the Spurs traded for Haywood, you'd be the ones talking all this about how great Haywood is. But since he went to the Mavs....
    My team has more championships than yours so I know more than you, and I know Brendan Haywood is a bum. CIA Pop could have had him if he wanted to, there's a reason why he didn't get him. If that didn't make any sense...

    4 rings, got.

    I won 4 championships, so I know what a contender is. The Mavs are NOT a contender.

    As I had mentioned I think that Haywoods points will continue to be above 10 this year. So does he I expect. Also I will be really interested to see how aggressive he can be once he has someone to back him up. Right now he's making sure he stays on the floor (another thing I like about him, he seems to understand the situation).

    Talking about tommorrows lakers game.
    "I have to be smart but I can't play scared. I can't take a silly foul early on, because they're too big for our backups. But at the same time, I can't just give up layups and inside position, because that will hit us as well."

    Haywood is coming off of a 13-point, career-high tying 20-rebound night against Indiana in a 91-82 home win.

    "As far as the points go, I basically just thank Jason Kidd for those," Haywood added. "If you're active and around the basket, he'll find you."
