This Thursday.
Mavs need an extra body against Shaq and Yao.
Mavs have too only 10 usefull players for the playoff (their 3 rookies are far from being ready to help them for the playoffs), it won't hurt them to add a vet at the end of their bench.
And if mavs sign nobody, it won't be a big deal.
link?
From the Dallas Morning News...
Workout scheduled: The Mavericks are going to bring in 44-year-old Kevin Willis for a workout Thursday to find out if he might be a viable option for their vacant roster spot.
This is a sign of how shallow the pool of available big men is. Willis was one of the most remarkably svelte athletes in the game when he was playing, but the 7-footer has been retired since the end of the 2004-05 season.
Willis won a championship with San Antonio in 2003 and last played for Atlanta. Willis played 20 seasons.
the mavs are tryin everything to get over the bump of sas...
see 2006 season
Considering Willis has NOTHING to do with the Spurs. It would be adding another big man for the extra fouls they would need vs. Yao and Shaq (if they met them).
exactly, i can't believe timdfhkhdfhcircvniurnfsdbnmbcvh thought it was about the spurs
there's not a 7 foot six foul guy who's younger than 44?
Apparently, there's no one that they're interested in. I'd be ok with Willis is he was still in decent shape.
He was pretty good on Pro's vs Joe's
true! anyway he would just be a third option, won't see too much playing timeHe was pretty good on Pro's vs Joe's
No 2nd chance for Mamadou N'Diaye? Shame.
"It's in the hole!!!!!!!!!"
He is probably going to show up for the try out just to punch Cuban in the face
hey wait, wouldn't this make the mavs..............old? i guess the "old" tag can be silenced like the mav "fans" wanting the "we have 3 rings" talk to stop if this were to happen.
I dont think he would single handedly make this team old. Him and Stack would really be the only 2 old guys
Mavs are desperate.
they already tried to get Miller, Pippen, now Willis?
They are showing signs of being afraid by the Spurs
they already tried to get Miller, Pippen, now Willis?
I don't really think it's only about the Spurs.
mavs know that if they don't get the championship this year, it would be a monumental failure. They know that if they don't get the rings this year, they probably never will.(with this team)
they are nervous, the pressure is all on them. and that is good for Spurs
If they were going to do this, they should have done it earlier in the year .They arent going to get the real benifits of K-Wills leadership or defensive presence that he can bring. At this point, he will barely get to know the guys, and wont get to really affect them. Cause you know he wont ever see the court. I wonder how much Avery had to do with this
Wait. So Mavs+Kevin Willis = teh win! But Mavs-Kevin Willis = 1st round loss?
How is anyone reading this as a desperate move if it comes to fruition? It's a body for the playoffs. IF he sees any play, it would be minimal at best. Damp-Diop and rotating Dirk/Croshere around the 5 with the smaller lineup will be the main strategy. Willis is just a body (read: OLD body).
The Mavs aren't nervous. This is just Neo adding a flyswatter to his arsenal before shooting up the groundfloor.
Yeah, they really need that as they're struggling w/o it.
As I mentioned in earlier post, they are just looking at someone to give them 6 more fouls in case they meet up with Yao and/or Shaq. That's all this is about. I guess they'd rather have a veteran w/playoff experience to do this for them.
They don't have a 3rd center since MBenga went down in case some of you Spurs fans had forgot or didn't know.
keep telling yourself that.
howcome Suns, SPurs are not making last minute changes? and you forget that Mavs PUBLICLY thought about getting Reggie and Pippen.
truth is they are not happy with the current state of the roster for getting a championship. face it. or don't. whatever.
