well considering their options...5 pg's to which one is pushing 40, 3 basically suck, and one is a serviceable backup at best. So it definitely would be an upgrade.

Was that Dallas team with Dirk, Nash and Michael Finley better than the one that won the ring?

in 02-03 

Dirk putting up 25, 10, 3 apg, 1.4 spg, 1 bpg

Finley putting up 19, 6, 3 apg, 1 spg

Nash putting up 17 and 7

Solid contributions from Nick Van Exel (12.5ppg), Raef LaFrentz (9 and 5), Shawn Bradley (7 and 6 with 2 bpg) and Eduardo Najera (7 and 5, and a really good defender)

the next year they got Antoine Walker, Antawn Jamison and Josh Howard coming off the bench

From a pure talent perspective yes but that championship team was mentally tougher which means more.

well that, plus I dont think anybody was beating Timmy and the Spurs that year.  I feel like if that Mavs squad would have stuck together they could have won multiple rings.

Did you guys know that Dirk has never ranked lower than 10 in PER in his career?

Pierce will not pull a Lamar.

 

[mjsaver]

Just shows how underrated Pierce has been his entire career , putting his name within a paragraph of Odom is an insult and I'm a laker fan.

 

[grandtheftbike]

Respect the hell outta Paul Pierce. Wish you didn't have to end your career in Boston either, my dude. You'll always be a Celtic. Paul Pierce = Lamar Odom after being traded from the Lakers?

youre a Celtic fan and you think pp with be a post lakers lamar? What??

Why no, no it doesn't.

We call comments like those (air quotes) 'trolling'.

CertifiedFlyBoi23, if the only thing you have to contribute to a discussion is to throw out an off topic response that is most likely meant to push buttons, just don't post. Thanks.[/quote]

Don't start that ****. He mentioned gambling, what does gambling have to do with Jordan's ability to play and stay healthy? So read what I'm replying to before you jump

Not once did i compare The Truth to Lamar Odom basketball talent on the court. What I DID compare is bring traded from their teams that cherished them and the teams that they have a bond with. Pierce is beside himself at Boston's management and does not wanna be in Brooklyn. Just like how Lamar spent several seasons as a Laker and thought he would retire there.

Reading is fundamental.

Dipset strikes again

 

[Ja's 2¢]

So Farmar must be a die hard laker fan or something to give up an estimated $5-10m to get out of his turkey contract for a train-wreck of a team with some lofty fantasies for 500k. Damn.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Odom is mentally soft, it's as fragile as Oden's and Bynum's knees combined. Lol at anyone comparing this situation to PP leaving Boston.

Where is one piece of evidence that PP does not want to be in Brooklyn? Lol, dude has been on record and all over television looking and sounding perfectly content with Jason Kidd and Brooklyn. He and Garnett were just on Sportscenter being interviewed saying they still have gas in the tank and are going to a good situation with Williams, Johnson and Lopez where they will be more role players than stars.

Great team but Dirk hadn't reached his prime yet, as good as those numbers are.  He really came into his own as a leader (and became an OK defender) in the years after Nash left the team.

The Jamison/Walker experiment was a huge failure the next year though.
