Mavs FA Signings, etc.

[Gtracer]

Who knows maybe the mavs can sneak in and steal howard. I'm waiting.............

Pass whatever the hell you are smoking this way...I want to belive this too...lol

[bjtheman1]

The Mavs want Brand so they will most likely get rid of Haywood soon.

I really hope they don't get Brand, he is nothing like he used to be. Too old as well, Mavs need to focus on more youth

I dont want Brand either but he's serviceable, as is Kaman.

Getting Brand is a plus imo, he can back up Dirk and can swing him at Center at limited times..same with Wright

Mavs need a true shooting guard, not a damn combo guard
Haven't had one since this guy..........

[OreoStang]

You are stupid if you wanna trade Dirk. This isnt NBA2K13

Y. Let him have a chance somewhere else. There is no point in keeping him. We need to get back into the draft. Best chance cause it is proven free agents dont want to come here

[DeddRekoning]

I seriously doubt Dirk will ever leave the Mavs. He isn't the type of guy to go to Cuban and ask for a trade so he isn't going anywhere. That being said, they will try to put some pieces around him that show some semblance of a team and attempt to get someone else in here that can score with him in the next year or two before he can't get his 20+ a game anymore. Two to three more 20+ a game years left in him IMO.

Well my thing is he wouldn't be a dick bout a trade. Just say hey trade me to help yall out is what he would say. A more classically move

[Doug Hatton]

Things are pickup up a bit over the last few days. Signed Kaman who is a true center with post offense. Just 3 years ago was almost a 20/10 guy. Has been fighting some injury issues, but supposedly is healthy now. Definitely an upgrade over an amnestied Haywood. Mahinmi for Collison/Jones is a no-brainer! Here's a guy that was an UFA that the Pacers could have just outright signed, but instead, we get 2 solid rotation players for him! All day every day! Add Brand to the mix and this might start to get interesting! We should know tonight whether we won the Brand bid! GO MAVS!

It's official now...Haywood is amnestied.

So who do you think we can trade him for?


Don't give me some NBA2k type of trade.. No team will give up a lottery pick for Dirk. Do you think some team will trade a good young player for an old Dirk and that salary...

dont worry i'll wait

Depending on what happens next summer, i can see Dirk retiring in a few years when his contract is up.

[TRAXX]

Brand is now a Maverick. Hopefully Carlisle can get all these new parts playing together decently.

I would say tradw for some young players. Maybe a pick. Of course an all star for him but he is at the end of his career. Why not get what we can. I would rather suck hardcore for a few years and get into the draft then be average. Average doesnt win rings. Trying to look towards the future

[bjtheman1]

Mavs signed Brand for $2.1 Million, actually that's a steal really as long as he stays healthy.

[2cammer97]

It's easy for us to knock Cuban but the reality is the guy knows his stuff and gets things done. How quickly we forget that the Mavs were NBA champs. I know I still celebrate it and reminisce of sweeping the Lakers and beating down South Beach.

With that said, Cuban has made some great moves the past few days, and played this offseason exactly as he should have. This team could actually be pretty salty next year. Probably not title contenders, but the West is pretty even aside from the Thunder. Carlisle will get this group to play well together. We got Kaman, Jones, Collison, and Brand for next to nothing. Sounds like the rookie draft picks are playing well. I say we sign Delonte West or one of the other shooting guards to a bargain contract and play ball.

Go Mavs!! MFFL!!!

You guys think the Nicks are going to screw themselves if the sign Justin Lin to a big multiyear contract? It could mess up their cap and force them to trade players like Chandler or Carmelo away. Or so I heard on the radio earlier.

Oh yea it will. With the luxury tax they will be charged each year for him, can't really say what the knicks will be able to do
