I see today that Kobe is unhappy that Odom was traded, and especially to the Mavs. I think I agree with Momo...seems something else is yet to come.

Wow Lamar Odom is a good signing, this came out of no where

Along with him comes the Kardashian clan.

Yep...my old lady is happy about that!

And JJ is gone. Minnesota T-Wolves is his destination.

I think the T-wolves over paid for him as well. No way Dallas could match that deal.

Yeah, I was surprised at 4yrs/$19M. Good for Barea. He's supposed to be a starter now too. That will expose any weakness he has.

[Juiced4v]

Barea = Najera

[silverhatch]

I like jj but not for that money.

[mustang_marc]

Barea = Najera

Only in the sense that he's a change of pace player. Najera was more of a hard noses/gritty/do the dirty work player who wasn't relied on for offense. Barea was not so much a defensive player...and more relied up to run the offense at times.

So Mavs signed Odom, West, and Carter. Hmmm, I'm curious who they are leaning towards Deron or Dwight? With all these moves, trades, and cap they are freeing up something has to give.

Delante West?

HIDE YA KIDS, HIDE YA MAMMAS!!!

That guy doesn't fit these teams locker room profile at all.

[mustang_marc]

Delante West?

Yeah. I just saw he signed for a year. Don't know much about him though. Supposedly he's here to back up JKidd.

DALLAS – The defending NBA champion Dallas Mavericks have filled out their 15-man roster by agreeing to a one-year deal with guard Delonte West, a source said.

West, 28, has started 225 games for four teams during his seven-year NBA career and can play either guard position. He was limited to 24 games for the Boston Celtics last season because of a wrist injury.

West, a full-time starter for a 66-win Cleveland team a few seasons ago, will play for the veteran’s minimum. He joins eight-time All-Star swingman Vince Carter and 2007 eighth overall pick forward/center Brandan Wright as players to sign with Dallas since the NBA lockout was lifted. Dallas also traded for reigning Sixth Man of the Year forward Lamar Odom from the Lakers and made a draft-day deal with the Trail Blazers for swingman Rudy Fernandez.

The 6-foot-3, 180-pound West, who could become Jason Kidd’s primary backup, has career averages of 9.7 points and 3.6 assists per game. He also has a reputation as a tenacious defender.
