More Vecsey BS

[MavsFanFinley]

Before Danny Fortson reconfirmed his criminality and Dirk Nowitzki sprained his ankle, the Mavericks were listening to offers for Eduardo Najera, who was in mid-mope due to minimal minutes. You don't have to be a born cynic to disbelieve Mark Cuban and the Nelsons when they swear they haven't been shopping Michael Finley. The plan is to obtain a younger, more athletic, defensive-oriented guard.

First off, I think Finley has been playing some solid defense. It's not being noticed by one or two Finley fans, but from a lot of people. Even his harshest critics.

Second, even if the Mavs are shopping Finley and are dying to get him off their hands, don't they already have his replacement in Howard? Daniels even?

What a dope that guy is.

[sike]

other than the $....there is no reason for anyone to be dying to get rid of Fin.....he is pure greatness!
I have said since the beginning of the season, give Howard one year to learn under Fin and then see what Fin will get you...
Vecsey is a moron who prints stuff with no consideration for the truth.....on more than one occassion he has proven yellow!

It's still pretty interesting that Vescey claims that the Mavs were shopping Najera until the Fortson hack. Could it be that Nelson is contemplating giving Najera most of Fortson's time, even after he returns to the lineup? I could beleive that.

ape, without a doubt Eddie has been coming out of the early season slump....more minutes for Eddie has never proven a bad thing in the past!

If we were shopping Najera for anything it would be for someone with more size, I would think. That would mean, if anything, that we would step up our efforts to get another big after what happened last week.

Important things to remember:

1. Vescy is a dumbass
2. Vescy knows almost nothing about anything, including basketball
3. Vescy likes to pull "facts" out of his ass because he's too lazy to do a real job
4. Vescy is a dumbass
5. Vescy hates the Mavs and all things Cuban
6. Vescy woudl sooner strip naked and dive into a swimming pool full of rusty razor blades and barbed wire that say anything positive about the Mavs
7. Vescy is a dumbass
8. Vescy goes out of his way to make trouble for the mavs, including "inventing" stories that could be detrimental
9. Vescy doesn't have enought credibilty to get a job as copy boy at the National Inquirer

And don't forget

10. Vescy is a dumbass

Yeah, Vecsey knows "the plan" because of all of his inside Mavericks sources.

Dallas isn't trading Finley. But if they do, it ain't gonna be for a guard. Sheesh.

As for Najera, I think the Mavs would deal him for a reasonable skilled 7-footer.

I love what Eddie has brought to the table for the Mavs. For what he cost us, he's been a terrific bargain. But hell yes I'd trade him for a reasonably skilled 7-footer and I think the Mavs would be crazy not to.

True, but I wouldn't object to giving up eddie to get a reasonably skilled 7-footer. In other words eddie's not the deal breaker. It's the CBA, the other team's reluctance to part with talent, or the other teams requirement for other talent from the Mavs that would be a deal breaker.

TRADE ACCEPTED


Just an idea. SA gets rid of Rasho and gets a good center and in the same beat get 2 athletes (which they need) Dallas gets a big man and Hedo who might thrive here. And Cleve gets rid of Miles and gets 2 1st rounders and a hell of a lot of cap room. Losing Zs deal and MIiles's deal, and Mercers big deal is off the books after this year

[LRB]

I'd do it, but still like the Delk for Mihm deal better.
