RE:Which high priced ex-Mav did/do you dislike the most?
oddly enough, juwan howard's defensive abilities almost mirror those of danny fortson... although fortson has the capability to rebound better.

And yet anohter poll. [img]i/expressions/rolleye.gif[/img]
There is no choice for those of us who don't dislike any of the 3. Don't get me wrong, there were parts of all their games that frustrated the devil out of me, but I don't dislike them and wish them well.

RE: Which high priced ex-Mav did/do you dislike the most?
I voted for Howard....
You know, he seems to do better than okay for other teams. I feel like maybe he just wasn't utilized correctly when with the Mavericks.

RE:Which high priced ex-Mav did/do you dislike the most?
lrb, this poll doesn't apply to you then
[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
this poll will at least have results that vary a bit.. the winner won't rack up 80% or more of the total..
there seems to be enough hatred to go around for all three.
now, we just need to find out who was hated the most....definitely a burning question that needs to be answered

He wasn't high priced but I didn't like the way Hardaway dissed the Mavs after they traded him.

RE:Which high priced ex-Mav did/do you dislike the most?
In that case....I guess Howard by default. I liked Raef and NVE.

RE: Which high priced ex-Mav did/do you dislike the most?
It's a tossup between Raef and Howard. They both spared everybody to death. I went with Reaf because his poor play is a more vivid memory.
How any true Mavs fan can say Nick is beyond me. He clearly helped the team. Even the anti Nick faction admits that we wouldn't have made the WCF without him. I have yet to read a compelling argument suggesting that we would have made the finals without him. Dirk is a better player because of the playoff experience he gained this year with Nick. So basically what you're saying by choosing Nick is: he helped the development of my team, but it wasn't worth it since I dislike him so much.

RE:Which high priced ex-Mav did/do you dislike the most?
dirno..the question isn't "which high priced ex-Mav played the worst?"
it's "which high priced ex-Mav did/do you dislike the most?"
if how much we like/dislike a player is solely based on what they contribute on the floor, then Dirk would be everyone's favorite mav..

RE:Which high priced ex-Mav did/do you dislike the most?
I don't dislike any of them. I was a huge Fab Five fan, so I like Howard. Van Exel brought an attitude that the team desperately needed. And Raef, well you know how I feel about him. If I was forced to choose one, I guess it would be Howard.

RE:Which high priced ex-Mav did/do you dislike the most?
NVE got hot in the playoffs (a one in a lifetime streak for him) and he brought us Jamison via trade
besides that, he wasn't that impressive while with the mavs

RE: Which high priced ex-Mav did/do you dislike the most?
Forget Jamison. I'll admit Nick got hot, but his hot streak helped the franchise beyond what he brought in the trade. What if Dirk has to go at it alone and we lose to Portland. That would have set this franchise back without a doubt. What if we lose to Sac without Webber. We already question the confidence and attitude of this team. What if they had to come into the year after pulling the biggest choke job in history? Tell me Murph, what did Nick do beside help your team. Did he stunt Dirk or Nash's growth? I think not. I understand you don't like Nick, but it's clearly personal.

Raef got my vote because the other two TRIED. I rarely got the impression that Raef was trying as hard as he could.

RE:Which high priced ex-Mav did/do you dislike the most?
I'd definitely have to say NVE, I didn't like him when he was a Mav because of his crappy shot selection half the time, and his desire to try and take over the offense (although maybe that was Nelson's doing)... I really don't like him now because of all the "Nick was the only reason the Mavs got to where they did in the playoffs last year" crap that everyone is saying now that he's gone.

Howard.
At least NVE fought.
Edit: Raef is just naive, basketball related.

RE:Which high priced ex-Mav did/do you dislike the most?
Raef...for the same reasons expressed by Max....just a headcase. i'm not sure why anyone would vote for NVE...he came here with a bad rep; played the solid citizen role....and F*'ed em.
Is it because he's disssing the Mavs organiztion now.
Have to say that I'm pretty neutral on Juwan.

If Raef doesn't win this poll, the collective IQ of this board needs to be checked.

NVE? Easy... he represented small ball. What's small ball? Something that slowed down the development of the mavs. Why? Because it slowed down dirk's development on the interior.
Plus, NVE routinely put up bad shots instead of getting the ball to better options. Yes, I know that Nellie wanted NVE to look for his shot. but when you're on the court, you have to know what's a good shot to take and what's not a good shot to take. NVE has never figured that out.
