Yeah and a week ago nobody thought we were interested in Travis best either....
Miami since they are in the size-starved east, find themselves in the midst of a frontline logjam, and with the departure of Best they are going to have to fill a need at PG. Stepania could just slip thru the cracks....the heat have signed 3 big guys and already have 3 other FA big guys, an unsigned draft pick, Ken Johnson,not to mention Brian Grant. We could steal him away, he's already a journeyman, so I'm betting he's not exactly attached to Miami. Also if the Heat land Odom, their next step would be signing a PG (which they are now in dire need of).

Stepania is a guy I wouldn't mind being a Mav at all. He has almost no skills but he does have size and he can at least rebound. From what I have seen of him, he's certainly tougher than Raef or Bradley ( I know that isn't saying much but still) Trade Raef and Bradley for Stepania.

RE: Vladimir Stepania
I'm surprised by this. It's a great deal for him as he can terminate the deal and return to the NBA at anytime. Make some money and keep playing basketball.
It's a shame he didn't take the 1 year, $3 million dollar offer from the Heat. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

well I'm sure there is more reason to going to Croatia then money, alot of teams would be willing to spend more then 1 mil. I think his foot was padded.

Didn't one of our great posters here predict that he could overseas a while back?
Why yes....I think so. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] |

RE: Vladimir Stepania
Interior defense and rebounding have not been the problem thus far... especially during those times when Nelson employs his bigger lineups. There is nothing to warrant an assumption that Step, Mourning, Mutombo, or anyone would get more time than Shawn Bradley has to this point, and there is nothing to suggest that they would have done any better than Shaws has up to now. The problems on this team right now are offensive. Stepania does nothing to address that.

RE:Vladimir Stepania
I agree Ape and getting through the growing pains will work out the offensive kinks. Remember the Mavs are the greatest O on earth!

RE:Vladimir Stepania
I saw step play last night and he looked absolutely terrible. I'm very pleased in the decision not to pick him up because he is a big body.

RE: Vladimir Stepania
Offtopic, but during the game last nite George Karl said, after Wallace went on a fast break and shot a quick three: "Everytime I see Wallace shoot a 3, I think of him in a Dallas Mavericks uniform." The announcer next to him says "what are you talking about, he's in a Blazers uniform. Do you have any inside information?" to which Karl responds "I don't think so, I just think of him as the big man Dallas is looking for." Hmmmm...
