    The Atlanta Journal-Cons ution

    [...]

    Had a post-game phone conversation with Tyronn Lue and he says it’s official, he’s signing with the Dallas Mavericks. Lue was waived Friday by Sacramento and had his choice of teams (Dallas, Phoenix, Denver, Charlotte, etc.) in need of a veteran backup point guard to help them through the end of the season and the playoffs. He fielded calls from good friends in Phoenix (Shaq, Grant Hill, etc.) but said he opted for the opportunity in Dallas because of the role he’ll play backing up a future Hall of Famer in Jason Kidd.

    Injury insurance for Kidd and a good 3-point shooter. If Kidd sprains an ankle, we're not going to beat the Spurs, Lakers or any big boys still left on our schedule, but we do have to beat the teams that are must-wins in order to make the playoffs. Lue would help with that. At this time of the year, he's a good waiver pickup. That's all. Nobody is planning a parade or anything.

    Barea was that bad? His speed looked like pretty effective from the games I saw. He was like an energizer bunny.

    Pretty much agree with your take.

    difference between JJB and Lue is that Lue can actually guard people in this league, something JJB cannot do..also people will have to respect t.lues shot....whether he sniffs the floor is one thing

    Lue maybe slightly better defensively than Barea but he actually might be worse offensively.

    Are you re ed?

    Lue may not be equipped to play great defense, but he does play hard and try his best to irritate his opponent. And he is very capable of scoring some points as well.

    keep telling yourself that to make yourself feel better.

    truth is, Barea could also score as good or better than Lue. Lue is a slight improvement over barea, but not by much

    and talking about re ed, didn't a mavfan create the Mavs over Lakers guarantee thread right?

    Lue is a solid pickup....

    I've seen him play in Atlanta for the last few years. He's a good shooter and plays with alot of "moxie". I wouldn't characterize him as a ballhog....or anything other than "a solid player and professional".

    If I had to make a comparison....he is to Dallas what Jannero Pargo is to New Orleans.

    Meh. He'd be nice to have but I'm sure he's gonna have as much impact as Jamaal Magloire. What the is that all about? He can't even suit up?

    He did suit up. I just think that they want to integrate him more into less intense games. Plus, Damp was a in monster yesterday.

    We got our Iverson stopper. I think Avery is going to play him. Otherwise Lue wouldn't have picked this team.

    That Barea guy is pretty bad. He had one good game and then when I watched the Mavs play when Harris was out and Barea was running the point, he was out of control out there and had no clue.

    Damn it's a lot of haters on this site. Don't pay any attention to that BS,
    Lue is a solid pickup and it was evident that the mavs needed a veteran backup for Kidd. Lue will only improve that team. I wish the Lakers would have picked him up.
