[m>s]

the howard battle is heating up really, if we could outrace other pursuers and end up getting that n!gga i'd call it a complete success.

DH is a more realistic target than paul imho. the league is looking for a potential take-over on the hornets so they don't want the team to lose its value this soon. lakers proposed a 3-side deal which also included the rockets but it was vetoed, the fat son of stern ain't approve it

[DPG21920]

Mavs offer in my scenario gets them some names, helps them compete this year as much as the LA offer, but gives them cap flexibility as well. Much better offer.

great centers don't grow on trees imho. seems we're stronger on paper with TC gone and LO/VC in but we're still in search of a good C and we're not very likely to end up getting one that we're 100% satisfied with. there's no guarantee dale will join dallas and even if he does join us, it'll remain a question whether he can get into our system as well as TC did. you had awesome chemistry with your old guys and you won the championship, it doesn't make much sense to reshuffle it and remake a squad which looks stronger but aren't guaranteed to be so.

I believe you are spot on.

[Nathan89]

Just stop, DPG. Most GM's, Hornets fans, media disagrees with you.
1. Most of your compadres upstairs still over losing scola to Rox
2. Martin is one of the most efficient scorers, though he sucks on defense.
3. Odom is the reigning 6th man and is a high level rebounder ...I really hoped he does well ...bit not in dallas we have no one to guard him.
4. Dragic has potential ...but he did regress last year.

Most

I've seen at least one guy NBAtv talking about how it was a bad trade because it makes them a 7th seed. The worse position in the league to be.

That is why I said most ...

I could post plenty of articles that disagree with plenty of executives quoted that Demps did a great job. Whatever.

Again, Im glad the trade was nixed (assuming we get someone else) we gave up too much IMHO. I said that from day 1. If Paul wasnt coming with knee concerns maybe I would of felt different.
Sure Pau and Lamar are over 30 but yet they are championship bigs.

What I dont get is us giving Lamar (tear and all) away for practically nothing ...In Mitch I trust ...but he better not mess this up.

I don't get how you trade the 6th man of the year the following year without getting something really substantial. How hard would you have to look even in the lottery to find a player of that quality?

[m>s]

the crunch time lineups will be kidd/JET/Marion/Odom/Dirk which doesn't look too bad imho

[m>s]

lakers are going to land paul guaranteed, trading odom for TE was just sort of a preparation. hornets don't want Odom but they would hardly say no to a TE which counts ZERO to their payroll.

According to the "sources", LA/Paul isn't going to happen.

[Blouses]

Per Eddie Sefko of the DMN, the Mavs will be able choose any of their first rounds over the next six years to send to LA in the Odom deal.
Dallas' first rounder -- whenever it comes into play -- will also be top-20 protected.

lol lakers federally ed

Odom/Dallas trade shot down by NBA: "Basketball reasons"

[Texas Chili Dog]

Cuban would beat us all in a game of chess. To me, this trade is all about keeping Dwight Howard away from the Nets. If he ends up in LA as a result, so be it. But the Mavs are creating a better package for the Lakers to use to present to the Magic, to compete with the ones the Nets will offer. The last thing the Mavs want is for Deron Williams to have a reason to sign an extension with the Nets. And having Howard as his teammate would make that almost a certainty.

[Mav-elous Man]

At least the Khloe jokes will cease.

tee, hee.

But they will start here in Dallas. Can we trade her away or is she a package deal?
