Yeah, i hope the negociations went all cool and Cuban didnt play hardball with including Humphries over Banks etc.
This could really help for Bosh. Lets hope the new Raptors still suck next season

how about a howard/carroll/williams for Tmac? Then we could have 2005 allstar roster.

True, but Jawai has at least played some organized basketball with the Australian pro league. My guess is he'll be starting.

Louis (San Antonio)
Even with Marion, Mavs can't touch the Spurs, right?
John Hollinger**(3:15 PM)
Um, you watched the playoffs this year, right? San Antonio obviously will be better adding Manu, Jefferson and McDyess to that crew, but I don't think it's a given that they beat out Dallas.

Seeing as it's finally official, I'd just like to say that I'm very happy with this trade. Absolutely worth the wait. Doesn't address passing or three-point shooting, but improves the team in every other category - defense, rebounding, fast-break, points in the paint, scoring balance, lineup flexibility - and does so without costing the team either of it's most valuable trade chips moving forward. Hell of a job by the front office showing patience early in the game, and then moving forward decisively and creatively when their moment arrived.

Some Nathan Jawai Highlights

Dude has a 7'5" wingspan! Only thing bad i've heard is that he has a heart condition.

We still got the Buckner trade chip....and boy all the goodwill we have built with Toronto may bode well in any Bosh Sign and Trade.

I couldn't agree more. I've been ticked off at the Mavs FO for about a year now, but they sure came through in Summer '09. It feels good to regain some confidence in their abilities.

Honestly, at this point in his career, what is McDyess going to do for them that Kurt Thomas couldn't do? Nothing.

Although I think McDyess is better than Kurt Thomas, I see your point. So I guess Drew Gooden is out in SA?
