Jamison/Martin

[Charlie Brown]

New Jersey's in turmoil. New Jersey doesn't think they can sign Martin to long term deal after this season. They are second to last in scoring in the NBA this season. Perhaps, this is an intriguing possibility.

trade clearly favors us, but remember, this is under the assumption that Martin doesn't want to sign a long-term contract with NJ. if so, do you think NJ could get something better than a Jamison in return?

i'm not so sure . . .

He's a clown that Charlie Brown.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


I doubt seriously that NJ would be interested in divesting themselves of KMart. I do like Kittles game. At least this wasn't some NVE for Finley out of the pooper trade idea. It would be a coup for the Mavs imho.

[scorched03]

interesting trade.
i'm not sure NJ goes for it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] although i wish they would.

would martin be a SF or PF in the west? he's kinda a tweener in the west?
but much props to his good defense.

kittles is great role player. i'd love to see him here. steals galore there

[EricaLubarsky]

Just what Dallas needs-- another K-Mart...

and just what the Mavs need-- another 6'9" center

NJ would rather shop on the sign and trade when things are more certain than run a season without Kmart because they might lose him to freeagency.

I dont think we have to remind NJ that KMart was part of their Eastern Finals run last year.

[grndmstr_c]

Advantage for us: Kenyon would upgrade our interior D, Kittles is great on the break.
Disadvantage for us: Kittles wouldn't be able to backup Nash, and we'd lose out on Delk's defense

Advantage for NJ: great defensive backcourt in Delk and Kidd, better halfcourt execution with AJ.
Disadvantage for NJ: lose Kenyon's interior D, might miss Kittles a bit on the break.

Two things standing in the way: AJ's contract (NJ trades K-Mart for contract reasons they won't want to take back a long max contract in exchange), and the attitude difference between the principles.

or to try to make it more even . . .

Change in team outlook: +0.2 ppg, +2.6 rpg, and +1.0 apg.

[bogey]

No thank you.

[sike]

"you're a block head Charlie Brown"....actually i'd do it if we could....still, I'd rather give up Walker.....oh well....

[jimmychipwood]

Yeah, if you're Dallas, you'd have to do that trade. I don't think NJ would unless things just got terrible with Martin, but from Dallas' perspective, you'd have to do it.

Martin could be that missing piece type of player.

[Dirkenstien]

No, I wouldnt do the trade. Howard is going to be a heck of a player and Jamison's game style compliments the mavericks very nicely. I dont like Dirk playing center and Martin lacks the size to bang around down low at the 5 with the big boys of the West. We need someone who will get Dirk back into the 4 while keeping a true small forward at the 3, making it more plausible to keep Jamison and perhaps trade Walker for a good defensive center. Although, im afraid this is easier said than done.

[kg_veteran]

The first trade, I'd do, and quickly. The second trade, I'd pass on.

[jimmychipwood]

I agree that I would rather put Walker in the trade than Jamison, so Jamison could move to the 3, Dirk 4, and Martin 5. I think Martin could handle the 5 okay.

IMHO, he would help our team more than almost any player we could somewhat realistically get.

So, you'd have to do either of those trades. In the first trade, we're talking about 2 bench players for a starting an aggressive starting big man.

In the second trade, we're trading surplus guards and small forwards for big men and small forwards. I don't see NJ doing it unless they feel they can't keep Martin, and even then, they would probably be able to get a better deal than a maxed out bench player and a promising late first-rounder.

I have been one to push for Jamison to start, but maybe what the Mavs are doing is "showcasing" Walker, because they know he will have the most trade value, because of his shorter contract. Make him a starter, keep his scoring averages up, keep your ideal 3 waiting in the wings on the bench...

Just thoughts.

[jmiles65]

First Trade.

I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[Mavs Rule]

Just thoughts.

Nice idea. I have been pushing for Jamison to start too, and this makes some sense. Will we deal him at the first possible moment, Dec. 22nd? Mavs are always about making a player look good in order to get max value. And then they usually trade out at the top, just like they did with NVE.

While showcasing Walker does make sense, it would give away our only playmaker (good passer) other than Nash. Could we survive that? Early in the season I believed Walker would walk (in trade), but now that Best is not the playmaker that we thought, we need another passer in return in the trade along with the big man we all want at center. So does Delk go in the trade too, since we can't dump Best?

Edit: Oh by the way, I say no to the two trades listed above. We need a center not another PF.

[grndmstr_c]

I don't buy the showcasing Walker thing. Nellie's too into the point forward thing. Even if that was going on the chances of us getting a good offer this year are very small, IMO.

[Fah Q]

I really don't see how Kmart would help us anymore than Jamison or Walker. He's not bigger than either of the two and he sure as hell couldn't play center in the west.

[Simon2]

No way to the deal. The Mavs are clearly getting the short end of the stick there. Jamison > Kmart and Delk > Kittles. Not to mention that Martin is a headcase. Besides, the Mavs already have enough PFs.

[kingrex]

Jamison can hit the 3 and post up and is a model citizen. Martin can barely hit an 18 footer, posts up nicely, but is a thug.

Fuggedaboutit. No deal.

[Walkerforthree]

You are underselling Martin as a offensive player, he avg. 18 ppg on good shooting and is a great defender.

You can't seriously believe Delk is better then Kittles, can you?

[sike]

in your mind what sets kittles ahead?
