I don't know. Ask Manu and Giricek. You did agree with Kobe's suspensions back then, right?
Because there's so many dominant big men available, right? They're a dime a dozen.

It'll make them a team that lost their all-star center. Does that make Dallas' lack of size less glaring?
Yo Basshole, take reading comprehension.....Jason Kidd was a massive risk, I said brining in Bass and adding it to last year's 67 win team was enough....
SHEESH !

Just look at what happens on the floor. Kidd is a decent 3-point shooter, a terrible mid-range shooter. And we didn't get him for his shooting. His shot selection is great. He doesn't force anything.
And neither one of whom could run a half-court offense in a seven-game series.I think the Mavs panicked...you had Terry and Harris...2 options at PG...both with varying skill sets....
He absolutely makes us better. Keep telling yourself that he doesn't. We'll miss Harris' speed and Diop's shotblocking at times, and there's no guarantee that we'll do major damage in the playoffs, but we are absolutely better.Kidd...while 5 years ago was amazing, is still a great player, but he doesn't make Dallas better.
Because we got bounced by an 8-seed? Because there's a massive difference between the regular season and postseason? Because Kidd is still better than Harris?You win 67 games last year, and brought in Brandon Bass....why the heck would you disrupt your team and take this massive risk?
Time will tellBad move....
Those two are definitely the favorites, but last year at this time most people assumed the conference crown was between Phoenix and Dallas. We'll know for sure in May.It is all on the Spurs and Lakers...those are the 2 battling for the WC crown, all the rest are just pretenders....
Well supposedly we lost the greatest point guard to ever play the game of basketball when we lost Harris.
Why do you keep referencing 67 wins? This team isn't anywhere near that pace this year, even before the Kidd trade.
You know what else is funny? Houston's quest to make it to the second round.
Still have Terry. And if you knew anything, you'd understand that Terry is not a viable option at PG.
Kidd makes Dallas better. I find it hard to believe that a HOF PG and one of the game's all-time best would go to a team and actually make it worse. It's not going to happen.
You're bringing up Bass as though he was a major addition. Disrupt? Risk? Going a little over the top, aren't we? When he first came onto the team, he was more of an experiment in a big body. , he's barely making peanuts in comparison to what some others are making. Bass was a piece added to help in the GS matchups, NOT to necessarily put them over the top of the rest in the West. I'd say he's a valuable commodity in that matchup as he's been a major player in those 2 games.
Cuban is only the owner. Don't believe the hype that he brokered this deal by himself.
Almost as funny as all those Mavs championships.....you know what you get when you multiple all those Mavs championships by 100?
ZERO !!
And refresh my memory how did Dallas do in the first round against the number EIGHT seed last year?

Were you even alive when Houston won their last le?
I love hearing this bull .
Care to reel off a list of "dominant" big men that other teams are just willing to up and let go so they can play for the Mavs? If a team has a "dominant" big man - odds are good they're going to keep him.
Dumb .
This Dirk foul was worse than Robert Horry's forearm shiver against Nash last year, and he was suspended.
How many "dominant big men" are there in the league, period?
Duncan, Howard, Yao, and.....
You are seriously the biggest stupid on the board as of now.
Shank,
You seem reasonable, so I will cut to the chase with my issues with this trade.
I believed that Dallas was good enough and one of the favorites THIS year before the trade.
Sure they had a bad run last year and matchup problems with Golden State, but I think they would have killed them this year in the same matchup.
And Harris was really getting good...he had extended his range out to the three point line and his quickness and flopping on defense were annoyingly good.
The Mavs did not need a Jason Kidd......and now that they got him, they are actually EASIER to guard now....a lot less athletic in an increasingly athletic league.
The same can be said of Phoenix, I think both Dallas and Phoenix screwed up their chemistry and both got weaker overall.....it just wreaks of a panic move by the Mavs.
They didn't need Kidd, and losing Diop will hurt too.....as he was a much better defender in the paint than Dampier...
Anyway, time will tell, and Kidd is no slouch....a hall of famer for sure, but when teams make him shoot, do you really want to live and die by a 35% shooter?
Honestly?

Oberto.
No he wasn't. I didn't impregnate his mother until late '95.
Been a Rockets fan since 1972......born in 1964, love all these kiddos and their massive command of the English language.....

Just wait till the Rockets start getting their brains beaten in this month, the stupid trolls will be about as talkative as the Suns trolls are now.
Dallas has never had trouble beating Houston before, with or without Ming.
Rockets are 80-72 all time versus the Mavs.
This year however the Mavs owned the Rockets early 3-0 against a team trying to find it's iden y with a new coach.
Now the roles are reversed, the Mavs have lost their iden y with Kidd....is there time to find it by playoffs?
I don't think so....
And Dirk should be suspended.
DD
LOL at Rockets fans talking smack...
I don't deal in smack just facts.....and opinion.
