Carlisle Press Conference on right now
A few points so far.
I think he said Dirk was there.
The team is going to run more and have a very difficult training camp.
Apparently the Musers told him that Avery predicted the Mavs would not make the playoffs next year.
Did anyone hear that?

said the same thing yesterday...and dang it if it doesn't become more true every time I hear the guy speak...hoop insight leaks out of him.
Every time I hear him speak (especially with the multiple praises of Donnie and Cuban's ability to overhaul roster in just this presser) I get the distinct feeling that Carlisle is expecting some kind of "big move" this off season to improve the roster.
How could that happen without moving Josh?

I don't know...It only creates an opportunity for people to throw it back in their faces later on. Dirk is not Larry Bird. They don't play the same.
They have in common the facts that they're white, and bad ass at playing basketball.

I think they have a little more in common than that, but fair enough.

Yes. Norm Hitzges asked him if they would make the playoffs next year with no other changes than the head coach, and Avery said no VERY emphatically.

seriously?
I don't like hating on Ex-Mavericks (Nash/Fin/etc) because I try to respect what they brought to the city and to the franchise. But, Avery is making it hard for me not to hate him.
sidenote:
Avery will be on TNT tonight, and I'm sure the Mavericks will be a topic of discussion. Tune in everyone.

Cuban's bringing the Team Shrink back.
Avery didn't want him, because HE wanted to fill that role.
Good call.

The role of that "shrink" sounds really fascinating to me. It should tell you something about Avery's ego that he believed he could fill that role for every player on the team.

It was on the radio with Norm Hitzges. Unless it's in one of his podcasts I'm not sure you'll be able to find it.

I loved the story he told about his rookie year in Boston.
Carlisle is a great communicator.

they are just on differently levels of hoop talk...AJ spoke in such generalities...Carlisle has some serious depth as a basketball man.

Avery really said we won't make the playoffs next year? Didn't Don Nelson make that same prediction when Nash left?

and said it was a miracle that they made it this year...(probably thinking of Devin's injury and then JKidd not mixing well with "the system")
but I think Avery is just arrogant enough to assume that they would not make the playoffs without him at the helm...He built this team to what it is after all...how could they possibly be predicted to maintain a high level without him and yet again, "the system"?

All I have to say is Avery is one arrogant idiot.
Very good press conference from Carlisle. I see him as being a guy players will really like and respect.

It is a little to early to know how things will go but for right now Carlisle has me inspired by his words. It is great to know I'm not the only Mavs fan feeling this way.

They are sure talking Josh up a lot...and not the "build his trade value up" kind of talk, IMO.

if they want to make a big off season splash....I think it must mean moving Josh.
its obvious they arent moving Dirk or Kidd....and JT just doesn't have that kind of value...

I don't disagree.
I guess I'm just really buying what they're selling. It sure sounds like they're planning on him.
But it's a loooong off-season. So we'll see.

Mark Cuban coming up on The Ticket momentarily....supposedly.
6 months...the NBA off-season kills me.
The NHL starts a full month earlier than the NBA, and only starts their playoffs a week earlier. I don't know why, but that extra month from October to November just pisses me off. We need NBA in early October, dammit. Training camp in September.
