I stand corrected, thanks Mike.
Despite that, I would have really liked for Dallas to have some time to get adjusted to our new players.

Hey, I value bigs. Anthony has shown some flashes of brilliance. The kid needs to get his head on straight on the court, but I'd be more excited about a potentially dominant big than a very good shooter, and that good shooter shot 42% last year.
He can have a really good career as a shooter, he needs to start getting some efficiency under his belt and use his size to his advantage. As far as potential is concerned though, Anthony's is through the roof.

The Knicks are SORRY,i dont know why you fans defend them.
And its stupid of you to mention how many finals apperances they had in the past 20 years because its not like they have those players anymore or that any of that info will make them better. they SUCK and thats that!

Well considering the fact that he was out most of 2008-09, last year was essentially Gallo's rookie year.
Gallo's more than a shooter, he has all-around game, and as potential is concerned though, Gallo's is through the roof.
Wilson Chandler..no slouch.
Toney Douglas and Bill Walker played great given pt at the end of last season.
The Knicks have some thing's going, it's just that money concerns were more important than basketball concerns these past few years.

Why are you so mad? I thought we were talking about Dirk? Why do I have to waste time explaining to you the Knicks situation and complete difference with the Mavs when we talking about Dirk? Go to the Knicks off season thread and read through it.

MeloVP,
I don't see the Knicks missing the playoffs next year when all this stuff is said and done. I just don't see it. I'm predicting 5-7 seed with room to grow. They still have that Curry piece.

You said no one was explaining anything about the Knicks chances of building a franchise. I explained, simple as that. You can agree or disagree, that's my stance.
Why should Dirk try and better his situation when it's clear that his owner has tried and tried and tried to do that for him? Would it have been better for Kobe to leave and not have the opportunity for the right piece to drop? (Pau Gasol). Ring chasing, teaming up with a great player like Wade or Bron, what's the difference? In the eyes of Mavs fans and most NBA fans, if Dirk left to pony up with another superstar, he'd be the #2 guy regardless. He'd be the Pau to Kobe. If he won a ring, it'd be because of ________, not because of Dirk, or the Mavs.
Jeff Hornacek chased rings? Word? Dude got traded for Barkley, and then was involved in another trade. And that's totally different situations. Don't get me wrong, I loved Hornacek, he's my favorite SG of all-time, but he isn't on the same kind of level as Dirk.
Dallas is going to try and get another player to help Kidd and Dirk win a ring. People who follow Dallas know that. They're going to try and work hard for a really good player. You can say you don't have faith in Cuban or Donnie Nelson, but the talent shows. We've had tons of talent come and go over the past ten years. KG and Minny ain't quite the same. There have been times where Minny was atrocious, and KG often voiced his displeasure with the direction of the team. They didn't try to put a team around KG, but Cuban has.
Maybe it's because I'm a Dallas fan, but I have more faith in Cuban trying to put a better team around Dirk than I do him trying to follow some superstar to another team where they have to build from scratch.

I'm sure he was much more receptive with Germany whooping on the Argentinians earlier.
(I'm so glad they demolished them, I just don't like Argentina [word to Olympic Basketball]).

Just throwing a bunch of rollin smileys talking about the Knicks chances.
I took that as you wanting an explanation of what others thought about the Knicks chances. All you had been talking about before was the Knicks, so I figured you mentioned them, you wanted an explanation, you got it.
Regardless if circumstantially Dirk won with LeBron James or Wade or whoever, if it wasn't in Dallas, it wouldn't mean as much to Dirk if it weren't in Dallas. He'd be viewed as helping LeBron get a ring, instead of LeBron helping Dirk win a ring if LeBron came to Dallas. It may seem like the same thing, but Dallas is important to Dirk, that's why he isn't leaving, that's why he took a discount. A lot of people would probably consider Dirk not being able to get it done in Dallas if he moved on, just as you're saying right now, but Cuban will tweak this team until Dirk retires if he has to in order to get it right. Here's to hoping he gets it done. We've continued to tweak, and we've continued to be successful to some degree. In the early 2000's we made it deep a few times, 2006 we made it to the Finals, and then two years ago we got stopped by a good Nuggets team. We're always competitive (no Hornets/GS), we can give the Lakers a run for their money every now and again, we want to win, as does our owner, you can balk at our moves all you want, but you can't slam us for a lack of EFFORT.

Ain't nothing going on. Dirk and Pierce re-signed for less than max. Amare looks to be going to NYK, but not final. JJ is 99% staying with Hawks, LeBron, Wade, and Bosh are all being divas still.
