How many of you would be interesting in writing articles for the site? Now I know the construction of the actual site has been put on hold indefinitely, but Rob and I have been considering creating a new forum just for writers to post their articles. Only Dallas-Mavs.com writers would be allowed to post new threads/articles, but everyone else would be allowed to post replies, to debate or just to give feedback on them. Now the only problem is getting people to actually agree to post new articles regularly. We all saw what happened to the Fantasy Hoops board a while back. I don't want to create a new forum that will get just one or two new posts a month. What do you all think? Can I get a show of hands from would-be writers?

Got tickets through work when travelling through Dallas in November 2000. Unfortunately we lost the game against the Jazz, but things have turned around.

I'd like to give it a try. I actually used to cover sports for a weekly newspaper, so I've got the experience thing going, yeah right ;-)

I would love to do it. maybe I could bring something from the stat perspective. if you have read my posts then you know that is my strong suit. Seriously though, I have no job now, so this would be a great opportunity to keep me busy. + I would be honored

I'd be willing to try to write an occasional article but I can't promise a regular schedule of articles.

If you want a guest column I'm trying to motivate myself into explaining why Shaq isn't the best center in the history of the game. I've got the info, just not the motivation.

Ocelot_Ark obviously has serious writing talent so I'd love to see him get a weekly column...I'd volunteer myself but I know I don't have the time/energy right now.

MFFL, great topic, definitely do a guest article on that, because i agree with your premise.

Wow, Hales...thanks for the props bro! I doubt I deserve it though.

I really would like to do a series of comparisons of our challengers, a mock draft (it's fun, we did it at LMF last year), some general NBA articles where I can rant on WHY Kobe is overrated and TMac would kick his ass one-on-one.

That's just some stuff off the top of my head, but maybe I could be as controversial as possible just to make the debates EXTRA heated.

I'd like to do it, maybe won't be weekly but I'd like to do a few different articles. Maybe a few odds and ends about Australia.

I bet you are all waiting for an update on Chris Anstey's progress (or lack thereof!)

<< yeah what the hell ever did happen to anstey? >>



Anstey is currently playing for the Victoria Titans, was injured for much of last year, but still managed to win the best sixth man award. Seems to have lost a bit of the hunger that he had before he played NBA, but is still amongst the best big men in the league this year.

He was just picked for the Australian squad today, not that we have any reason to have a squad anymore [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
He has been rather dissapointing since coming back from the NBA. I thought that atleast the training would have improved his game. It's taken him awhile to get back into the swing on things. That said, he did have a career best game last weekend.

Well I guess we can do this on a trial basis. I'm going to go ahead and set up a new forum where only articles can be posted. Everyone feel free to post your works. New articles posted will be kept at the top of the page for one week, and everyone is encouraged to reply to them to give the author some feedback.

I'm going to leave the forum &quot;open&quot; so everyone can post/reply, but if people start posting random garbage or off-topic threads in there, I'll change the permissions (so each new thread/reply will have to be approved before being posted).

Remember this is for WRITERS (amateur or professional). For general mavs chat and discussion, stick to the mavs forum. Thanks

Ok let's see who'll be the first to get an article up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] If any of you can write at least one new article/editorial a week, then you can have &quot;Dallas-Mavs.com Writer&quot; or &quot;Sports Writer&quot; or something similar as a title (hey it's better than nothing right? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]).
