That's an insane wingspan for a PG.

Yall keep talking about 2nd rounders as if that was apart of the OKC trade just now... do we know that yet? I mean I know that we got two in the trade with Portland, but the trade hasnt happened yet with OKC. I am still wondering the reasoning of it, and if we are getting anything in return for trading down again for Beaubois. Another 2nd rounder or something else?

Nowitzki4President · 06-25-2009, 09:10 PM

So is Rodrigue gonna play here next season? Or is he staying in France? Cuz I'll be damned if he stays in France.

Watching the RB vid on YouTube. The kid definitely has long arms and a smooth shot. Reminds me of Reggie Miller, in a way.

All we know for now is that it's "a future second round pick".

The Crippler · 06-25-2009, 09:13 PM

that youtube I posted reminds me of Ben Gordon.

Pongo · 06-25-2009, 09:13 PM

cubes two minutes ago: [witter] We got the exact guy we wanted and picked up a couple future 2nds as well Hopefully we arent done ! #fb

Nowitzki4President · 06-25-2009, 09:13 PM

"We got the exact guy we wanted and picked up a couple future 2nds as well Hopefully we arent done !"

That was Cuban's most recent tweet.

That's an omen for things to go down... "hopefully"....

I don't know how to feel about this.

EDIT: Ahh Pongo, ya beat me.

MavsWiLLHaVeRinGs · 06-25-2009, 09:13 PM

I think I've figured it all out. Cubes and Donnie are trying to recreate the magical Mavs of the 90's.

And the clip even has Jackos Thriller as background music. Thats allmost x-files material right there.

On another note: I´ve seen this clip before. So someone probably pointed to him as a possible pick here. If so, good job.

Pongo · 06-25-2009, 09:17 PM

beaubois aveaged around 5 points. in france.

That's exactly why Cuban wanted him - it's all part of a plan!

The Value of the Point is clearly MUCH more powerful than the value of a point in America...remember we are in a recession.

Is it destiny that Thriller is the music background for that video and he gets drafted on this day of all days?

Yeah but he really came alive at the end of the season. Got more minutes and had a stretch of 10 games where he scored 12+ points. In europe (where games are shorter and players generally get less playing time) thats pretty good. His best game was the last one where he scored 31 points on 13-23.

Also your stat is wrong. He averaged 10 points in 22 minutes. Not bad at all for such a young guy.

Pongo · 06-25-2009, 09:22 PM

oh yes. oh. snap.

The guy (Beaubois) worked out for the Mavs. DB.com picked it up, posted the link to the video. DMN Maverick blog may have too.

DirkFTW · 06-25-2009, 09:24 PM

dammit. I'm not taking down the pic.

tcat075 · 06-25-2009, 09:25 PM

Let's trade into the 2nd round and get Sam Young.

heck...even blair or chase.
There is no risk with it, might as well.

Agreed.

Can't believe Blair fell all the way though. I guess being a 6'5" center will do that.

Ah thanks, thats probably where I saw it. In retrospect it had to be someone from europe, as sure as they were about getting him.

TheMaverick · 06-25-2009, 09:29 PM

It must really suck to be Blair right now.

Pongo · 06-25-2009, 09:30 PM

well still, i'm not really impressed by 10 ppg in france, though it's not exactly bad

darkwitzki · 06-25-2009, 09:30 PM

Let's get Chase!

tcat075 · 06-25-2009, 09:33 PM

He's a white shooting guard. You know, like Matt Carroll.

You want him now?

MavsFanFinley · 06-25-2009, 09:57 PM

I wondered which team would gamble on Blair. With Thomas and Oberto out in SA he'll have a chance there. Short, obviously, and the ACL issues but a 7'2 wingspan and rebounder like his was a no brainer.

Chase is NOTHING like MC, at all. Chase is crazy athletic...MC has no athleticism. Chase is a SF fyi.

Also, B.J. Mullens is mix-raced, not white.

There's a lot of Donnie level stupidity going around tonight.

I want the dude's teammate. The one with the long hair and what looks like an unkempt beard in some of the highlights. Ever since Nash left and Dirk stopped making a big deal about randomly shaving his head, this team has been seriously lacking from the forehead up.

Come on. Really. If Cubes really isn't looking to add some talent to the team, why not at least give us fans a good coiffure for conversation?

Those damn mixed-racers are ruining racism for everyone!
