So they throw in roddy/dojo.. Again the point IS that just because they bring Chandler back they don't stop thinking of ways to improve the team. But somehow the argument is that if chandler is back..then time stops and that's it. That is not it.

And if they are not thinking of stripping the team down, they also look at players that may have longer contracts.

Somehow the MBT would have just become super-stupid if they had a solid center on the team. I don't buy that.

Nope - there is no deal for Collison without Indy's perception of Mahinmi, which was totally based off of his extended role/playtime this last season.

You can talk about making other deals, but even those would have been limited by our inflated payroll and lack of tradeable assets.

I just do not agree, it is too static. IF the mavs had not decided to take it down to the nub then many more situations would have been in play. Jkiddo snt, jet snt, etc., etc.

Bullshit. Mahinmi was already viewed as a solid backup with good size and athleticism. His value might have actually decreased in 2012 compared to 2011.

Speaking of bullshit:

2011: 3.1 PPG / 2.1 RPG / 0.2 SPG / 0.3 BPG / 8.7 MPG
2012: 5.8 PPG / 4.7 RPG / 0.6 SPG / 0.5 BPG / 18.7 MPG

You should probably drag your sorry ass back to db.com where people will buy what you're selling... There's no way in hell that Ian Mahinmi was worth more in 2011 than in 2012.

Were you, as a Mavs fan that watched Mahinmi game-by-game over the last couple of years, higher on him after 2011 or after 2012?

After 2011 I viewed him as a young athletic center with size and decent potential. A backup C that could develop into a starter. He started last season well but numbers dropped off and Brandan Wright picked up more minutes.

In the end Mahinmi put up lower per-minute numbers last season than he did the year before. Failed to take a step forward in development like we had hoped.

2012, not even close. Is this really a question?

It's a shame that we aren't as bright as the cats at db.com are.
