Delk must GO! - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

Max Power · 01-23-2004, 06:27 PM

I've been thinking about it for awhile and I have come to the conclusion that Delk must go. He would be an asset on any club who needs scoring off the bench but we don't. Especially Delk's low percentage scoring. I'd rather have a Hubert Davis type - someone who can score efficiently but doesn't think he needs to score to justify his existance.

Classic addition by subtraction.

Max Power · 01-23-2004, 06:31 PM

BTW Delk has only played 3 minutes during our win streak.

sike · 01-23-2004, 06:35 PM

so just what are you suggesting besides he "must go" what do they do with him??? trade him? who wants him??? blah, blah, blah......

Max Power · 01-23-2004, 06:56 PM

Trade him to one of the teams under the cap for "future considerations" or buy him out.

bernardos70 · 01-23-2004, 07:11 PM

Buy him out? It's not like he's a distraction for the team, and if mamadou goes we'll have another spot in our roster back.

Josh says he's one of the funniest guys on the ballteam. You can't let those kind of guys go.

I also don't like the way he jacks it up, but I also don't think he's a distraction or of much relevance at all.

The Mavs needs a better 1-2 than Delk. If they can get it, Delk has to go.

MavKikiNYC · 01-23-2004, 09:11 PM

But Nellie loves Delk. He said so.

dude1394 · 01-23-2004, 09:12 PM

Well the mavs need a better 2 guard as well. If they can get it finley has to go.
Well the mave need a better 5 center as well. If they can get it bradley/fortson has to go.

Yes, of course, if we can get Kobe or Ostertag, say, easier than Davis, say, the priority would change.

You know, I have been thinking that, maybe, walt williams may be a better addition instead of Delk. Williams understands Nellie's offense.

Please bring this man back Nellie. He was arguably our best defender in the playoffs last year, or tied with Bell.

Max Power · 01-23-2004, 10:47 PM

The Wizard or Hubert is the perfect role player off the bench. We don't need an inefficient scorer-type off the bench - we need a guy who knows when to take his shot.

Good post MP. Here is something I posted about ywo weeks ago in another thread. Some pretty interesting Delk stats. I'm sure they've changed a little but probably not much.

I just realized what a black hole Delk has been this year. He is only shooting 38.5% from the field. On top of that he is only averaging .8 dimes a game. Terrible.

Granted he plays some 2 for this team, but lets compare him to other PGs in the league. Nobody averages fewer assists per 48 than Delk. It isn't like the guy doesn't have any options either. Call him a 1, call him a 2, but 2.3 assists per 48 is miserable for any guard. Hell it's pretty crumby for a center.

LRB · 01-24-2004, 12:21 PM

Delk's only worth to this team is trade fodder.

Cause hes hurt...still...best is better

jayC · 01-25-2004, 01:48 AM

Delk still can light it up for 20. In the playoffs or in a big game guys like that are priceless. Sure Walt was good, but he faced the same problems. As far as shooting inconsistency.

doggnutz · 01-25-2004, 09:23 AM

Delk also plays good defense. When the playoffs come you need guys like Delk. Plus he hasn't been 100% since he's been here...In the playoffs Delk has a chance to due what NVE did in a different way, with Defense and Scoring. It would be interesting to see what his stats where in the playoffs with Boston.

madape · 01-25-2004, 10:36 AM

When healthy, Delk is a valuable addition to this team. He looks to be behind Best and Howard in the rotation, but in case either goes down, it is important to have a seasoned veteran ready to come in and contribute. Delk is a good scorer and above average defender. I'd love it if a trade opportunity came up in which we could get a decent five to split time with Shawn and Fort. But until that trade presents itself, all talk of dumping Delk is foolish. Cutting him simply to open up a roster spot is especially short sighted, considering Mamadou is about to go away.
