<< NVE is a quality player that doesn't fit the mavs needs. why not?
because he looks to shoot first instead of distributing the ball
because he shoots even worse than artest
because he is a mediocre defender0
He DOES NOT fit the mavs needs at backup PG. >>
I've already conceded that NVE isn't a great fit in Dallas because he needs to be a primary scorer to thrive -- but if I'm going to deal a quality player that doesn't fit the team's needs, I want to get one or more back that DO fit the team's needs. And this trade does NOT do that.
<< you receive players in artest and austin AND you also get a #14 pick. >>
Players - bench players. I want starter-quality player(s) in return for a top 10 PG.
<< No, it isn't the trade i'd be looking to make. but once again, if the mavs are unable to address their interior issues and if this trade is made, you'd have to take it.
and yes, perimeter defense is one of the major needs of the mavs in case you've forgotten >>
Murph, why turn to insults? Adding a bench perimeter defender by subtracting a BETTER overall bench player makes no sense. Artest, if he is an upgrade at all, isn't a significant one over Griffin. And certainly you're not looking at Croshere to provide perimeter defense, are you?
The deal's not a good one, and no amount of protestation to the contrary about how bad NVE is for this team makes it better.
