Dallas Mavs

[Hambombs]

Winnnn

 

[WilltheThrill]

I'm so glad we drafted both Jared Cunningham AND Bernard James, two so-so college players, over Draymond Green, a first-team collegiate all-star. I was pissed about it the night it happened back in 2012 and I'm just as pissed about it today, watching Draymond drop 20 on the Mavs while Cunningham and James are already wasted picks.

Just more evidence that little Donnie can't draft for shit. Instead of picking the obvious names who will at the very least become decent rotation players, he swings for the fences with college players who weren't as good but have so much "potential" or random raw foreigners. DeJuan Blair is another perfect example of a great college player who has carved out a nice career as a very decent rotation player who little Donnie passed over in favor of a boom-or-bust pick.

Draymond is such a winner. I love his game. People really missed out

No chandler parsons for mavs. No lee or bogut for warriors. Also mavs, clips, Cleveland and warriors interested in jermaine O neal

I wish all 3 of them played. The game would have slowed down with Bogut and Lee in there. We have enough trouble guarding PG/SGs when neither of them play GS is smaller, faster, and more athletic. At least the Mavs showed some heart. The poor start killed them.

 

[Justinkm83]

We still have not beat one of the West's 1-8.

They NEed defense on the perimeter in a bad way. That's why they're having trouble beating the top teams.

One of the drawbacks of sharing a facility.

Super duper rare occurrence tho. Maybe a couple times a year if that. I would imagine the Staples Center has more issues with the Clippers, Lakers, and Kings sharing it in addition to all the concerts and stuff that happen there.

Only problem is i dont think Draymond would flourish as a Mav because of Carlisle. I think he is a great coach but not with youth.

Mavs need to find a way to trade for Lance Stephenson. You could mis-match the rotation. Late in the game play Monta at the point, with Lance at the 2.


Wilson Chandler would be a good addition too IMO.

I'd keep an eye on the Knicks and if they on a selling spree. Would love to have Calderon back.

I would like to have Jose back, but that's not going to solve our perimeter D problem. I would gladly trade Jameer and another for him though.

 

[Justinkm83]

The Mavericks are serious suitors for Rondo, Wojnarowski reports. The Rockets have also discussed a potential deal for the point guard with Boston as well, Wojnarowski adds.

 

[Justinkm83]

Wojnarowski lists Brandan Wright and Monta as pieces going to Boston. I don't want to trade Monta. Throw in Crowder and a 1st round pick.

Rajon Rondo subject of Boston Celtics-Dallas Mavericks trade talks - ESPN

I think it will end up being Wright and other veterans to match salary.

Me too, w/ a 1st round pick.


We better find a way to get Monroe or someone to back up Tyson if we trade Wright. Maybe Garnett?

That's a steep price to pay for a guy they won't re-sign, but that gives them a championship level PG who plays perimeter defense. Jameer Nelson won't cut it as a starter and Harris is better coming off the bench. It would make Dallas a legitimate threat.

I just read that's the reason the Mavs are trying to get Rondo early in the process. They want to give him plenty of time to settle in here to try to talk him into staying.

And that's a good assessment whoever wrote that. The earlier the better. The reg season is largely irrelevant. A championship team can beat anyone.

 

[Hambombs]

That would be sick if Dallas got rondo. What does everyone think of rondo? I think he's a great 3rd best player on your team
