Co-sign. Diop aint been on the team for a minute and the Mavs will try and shop Dampier or keep him as the backup. Damp wouldnt be a bad backupcenter.
You could argue that this past season was Dirks best season, possibly better than his MVP season. Dude put in work. Had 23 straight games of over20 points or more, the longest in the NBA this season.Originally Posted by air max 87
ehhh for Dallas to win dirk needs to step up, dallas has had pretty good teams the past few years, but none have been stars, dirk needs to put the team on his back and take on that role.
Dirk doesn't want out of Dallas, he has said it multiple times before. He wants to win a championship in Dallas. Dont think Dallas wont be inthe "2010" fight. We got Mark Cuban money backing our team.
I think some of yall should stick to talking about the teams you know about it.

My bad guys.
Forgot about the Carrol/Hollins for Diop trade.
Like I said, Take the L. I was wrong.

Someone must've missed the playoffs when Dirk was putting in work.
Yeah, a young talented PG, and a young athletic wing man, and a reliable 2nd scoring option, and an inside presence to dump the ball into and take some of thepressure off Dirk, and a decent bench to go with. Did I miss anything?
Cuban is keeping this roster moving with duct tape. Either get guys in to take it all the way (with Dirk) or blow it all up and start over next year (withDirk)
Middling around in the 4-6 spot in the west isn't doing anything at all.

I will give you the Lakers, Spurs and probably the Nuggets. Not convinced that Utah and Portland are better than the Mavs though.

Portland was better last year i dont see how that changes this year(even CP hating #@% will give it to Portland)
and even if you better then them my main point is that this team is at best a 2nd round team getting beat down, cuban had his shot to blow the team up andrebuild QUICK with the FA market next year and killed his shot

how many times did portland beat the Mavs this past season?...were the Mavs a healthy team this past season?
Would you knock it off Mike, I ain't a damn hater, realist, but not hater. (if you need help looking up any of these words, lemme know)
And Utah was a tough tough team the year before, and was just demolished with injuries last year. If they are healthy, and especially if Okur and Booz aredriven in their contract seasons, they will be better then Dallas. Come on.
Tell ya what, tell me who on the Mavs is improving and getting better.
Because in Portland, Roy can get a little better. LA will get better. Rudy might get a little better, Oden can't go any lower, so he has to get at leasta little better, Webster will be back, Outlaw, maybe a little.
Who on Dallas improves with another year of mileage?
5-6 seed. Thas about it.

Portland is better and will better IMO. A lot of young talent and they still have like 9M or whatever to add a FA or trade for somebody and don't reallygotta include anybody since they can absorb a contract

Dallas will be better because their second and third best players won't be hurt 25% of the season.

The Mavs dont have young players that have to improve and get better, this is a veteran team that is already established. What the Mavs have is ateam that won 50 games last year with the team they put on the floor. (That teams wasnt that good) Also, Josh Howard was never healthy and missed 30 games.
If that team can win 50 games, then give me a healthy Josh Howard plus Gortat and Shawn Marion and they will be in the 53-57 win range which will be goodenough for one of the top 4 seeds.
Like I said, the Lakers and Spurs are by far the top 2 teams. Nuggets will be good, but what have they done to improve that team? Portland has alot to proveand the Mavs swept them last season. To0 early to tell about Utah and what they will do with Boozer and AK-47.
Brooks
Battier
Ariza
Scola
Center
Landry
Lowry
Hayes
TMac and Yao as wildcards
Like I said, Houston is going to be tougher then people think. Don't know why they're gettin written off. They may not score a ton of points, butthey certainly ain't givin up any points either.

You also have to wait to see if TMAC is traded also.
That might bring in some help for Houston.

Slooooooooow down man. Be real with yourself. Those are the same kids out there battlin with the eventual champs right? Except with a younger 3 then the onethey had. These guys gonna be just fine, if they get anything outta their 2 "stars" that'll help, but this team right here is better thenMemphis, or Clips, or Minny, hell they way NO is going, they may give them a run. And who knows where Phoenix is gonna come in.

Wow I just checked the records and Portland won 4 count em FOUR more games than the Mavs.
And we swept them.
Unless Portland makes a move, we are better than them by adding Gortat and Marion.

Marion? This ain't 2005 man.
Marion and GORTAT make you improve that much more then the young group Portland has? Really?
You were 4 down, and that was sweeping them, if they take a game or 2 from you, that puts you 6 back. Marion and Gortat make up a 6 game difference?
Come on. Dirk rolls his ankle and you guys win 30 games. Not the 53-57 I saw earlier
