RFA Pekovic... I think he's an RFA.

What about bringing back Collison to play behind J-Cal?

I wouldn't mind if he was cheap, Collison is decent on offense but can't run point for ish

I wouldn't mind that. I also wouldn't mind sending Collison in a sign and trade (plus Kaman) to whomever wants him/them.

Bayliss · 07-05-2013, 09:40 PM

Collision at point?

We have Shane Larkin.. Now using him to trade yes but we don't need all 3.

Five-ofan · 07-05-2013, 09:55 PM

Best pick and roll in the Nba again

sefant77 · 07-05-2013, 09:59 PM

Millsap to Atlanta...guess they dont wanna so the S&T for Asik?!

We could also spend most of the money for a SG/SF and sign Dalembert for a year for smaller money. Or getting Haywood back...

He hasn't played a second of NBA basketball yet.

Now i'm not downplaying the guy, but we haven't seen what he can do yet.

Millsap to Atlanta could also mean Josh Smith is certainly leaving?

Ya screw that guy.

roadrunner · 07-05-2013, 10:04 PM

As a possible filler, anyone else interested in seeing us sign Wesley Johnson? I tend to look at him as a similar case to Brendan Wright. High draft pick that hasnt panned out and may just need a change of scenery and a good coach to bring out his talents. He was obviously highly thought of coming out of college as the #4 pick in the 10 draft. I saw one scouting report compare him to Shawn Marion

sefant77 · 07-05-2013, 10:05 PM

Wesley Johnson cant shoot...hell no. No place for a guy like that on the Mavs.

Brewer would be nice, he really improved his jumper

He's similar Marion with a jumpshot I reckon. Wouldn't mind him.

Five-ofan · 07-05-2013, 10:08 PM

I went to high school with wes, Iv played pick up basketball with him a ton. He's absolutely a great human being. And with that being said, we don't want him as much as it pains me to say it.

sefant77 · 07-05-2013, 10:14 PM

Center:

Peko: No chance
Asik: Dont think we have the pieces to get him
Bynum (just one year guaranteed - doable
Oden (depends on salary low risk high reward)
Gortat (trade, cost us Marion - would do it)
Dalembert (cheap, one year)
Haywood (2m contract with Bobcats)

Remaining bigger names:
Jack (6-8m i guess), could play SG
Ellis (not a good fit)
Josh (too expensive)
Gerald Henderson

I'd like Brewer reuniting with us at SG and Josh Smith(luck)/Marion at SF. It definitely can give Calderon a relief defensively.

Lots of 'he is a great guy and teammate' on the scouting reports too. I like that he has high character. I checked his stats and he has certainly been a horrible shooter so far in his career. However, once he was given a starting role with the Suns toward the end of the year (last 25 games) he picked up his game. Actually shot 45% from 2 and 37% from 3 over the last 12 games. I know that is SSS but maybe he is starting to figure it out. Not sure if his D is any good at this point, but if it is maybe it can be enough to hide is offensive issues. Hard to see that in stats so Im not sure how he ranks defensively at this point.

I was bringing this up as a flier if we are filling out the rest of the roster for a minimum type deal.

dehubb · 07-05-2013, 11:38 PM

I'd rather go ahead and trade for Eric Gordon, and sign Bynum and try our luck with their injuries then go another year trying to get the top free agents.
Hoping for Lebron is just a dream he doesnt even have to opt out his contract and why should he? He's winning championships and the Heat could trade Bosh and get great value for him if they need too to keep Lebron happy and surrounded with good players. Pacers arent letting Paul George walk.. and Kobe? come seriously him to signing with Dallas, he'd retire first..

Caldoron, Gordon, Dirk, Bynum.. healthy can compete.. and if they do happen to get injured then Mavs suck and we get lottery pick.. seems like a win, win either way. but atleast the office tried not to waste Dirk talents again for pipe dreams

Iv kept up with his career. He's one of only three professional athletes I legitimately feel comfortable calling a friend. He's a solid defender with the potential to be a stopper. He's a great athlete and he's incredibly long. Also he can shoot, he just has a very slow release and he can't dribble so he struggles to create his own shot.

backb0ard · 07-05-2013, 11:53 PM

Brandan Wright is coming back right?

Did Corey Brewer improve? I remember him shooting bricks and committing lots of bad fouls in the series against the Warriors.

grndmstr_c · 07-05-2013, 11:58 PM

There's been no word on Brandan yet.

yahyes · 07-06-2013, 12:17 AM

I appreciated what Wright brought. But I think we can do better for guys young like him. Like DeJuan Blair or Tyler Hansbrough I'd like. Blair could be an project to see if we can get him back to the good rookie he was. He's a bruiser down low Randolph like. Isn't scared to lay it up with contact either. Psycho T is also underrated to me as a real bench guy for Dirk. Tough and never scared of contact.

My sleeper is Byron Mullens too. These are all PF options.

Don't be surprised if we move on with Wright.

Somebody photoshop a rockets jersey on Dwight and a Mavs jersey on Bynum

I'll be pretty surprised if Wright isn't back with the Mavs next season.

Cerberus · 07-06-2013, 08:52 AM

Something I found surprising; Monta Ellis has a higher career FG% to Jason Terry. Who would've thought that?
Ellis @ .456
Terry @ .447

Ellis even shot an incredible .531% @ 20.2PPG in 07-08!
Though I'm not surprised that Terry has a higher eFG% @ .514 to Ellis' .482

I'm not a huge fan of Ellis, but I don't reckon there's any other FAs that we can sign around the 10mil mark that can really score.

mavs777 · 07-06-2013, 09:17 AM

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 7m

Mavs' post-Dwight interest in Bynum is legit. They ARE pursuing him. Yet it's been made clear they'll make detailed/careful evaluation first

He15man · 07-06-2013, 01:06 PM

I don't have a problem taking a shot on Bynum if the price is right and the Mavs doctors clear him.

I watched like 70% of the Nuggets games, i think he would fail as a starter. Way too trigger happy, mediocre/streaky shooter, good defender, good in the open court. Could be one of the better bench players in the league, but would fail as a starter imo.

41mvp · 07-06-2013, 02:23 PM

Another bad offseason for the Mavs,another weak roster,another miss chance for next ring.
We missed all best players,it is so sad but we all know that it will happen.
I feel sorry for Dirk.

FINtastic · 07-06-2013, 02:36 PM

J-Smoove is off the market:

FINtastic · 07-06-2013, 02:39 PM

Also saw on Yahoo! that Wright took a two year deal with the blazers.

Almost had a heart attack until I realized it was Dorrell Wright.

Melonhead · 07-06-2013, 02:55 PM

Would have been interesting if the mavs could've pulled josh smith, but just out of our reach money wise.

Wouldn't mind Ellis or jack.
Would love pek/asik/gortat if at all possible
Guess we'll have to settle for bynum unless something else happens with trades

EricaLubarsky · 07-06-2013, 02:56 PM

Thing about Marion-- he's got one year left and is still a nice asset. He'd play hard for us the first half if the season and would either expire to give us room for a max contract of he could be used to trade for Rondo at the deadline.

yahyes · 07-06-2013, 03:02 PM

No need to be discouraged missing out on Josh Smith. Crowder, Marion, and Carter can give it a go one more season. Find a starting SG who I think can be Corey Brewer. With lets say Gary Neal. You have most of the guards set.
