    Dunno how the ? we did anything with a ? 6'6 center.
    Very optimistic about this year however.
    Lots of young talent on the team.

    lmao, because the "chuck wagon"(I hate that ? name almost as much as I hate clyde drexler doing games) is a beast. Real ? though Hayes would be an elite defender if he was a couple inches taller. Anyways I'm checking in, Kyle Lowry one of the most underrated players in the league and if Pumpfake(K-Mart) played defense HALF as good as he plays offense I might consider him a player who is close to being a star. We gunning for the 8th seed!!! SMH

    True story. I really don't understand what Morey did in this draft. D-Mo is 7 foot but he's 215 pounds and we don't know if morris can play sf so we basically drafted two players at a position that we are strongest @. Neither one of them are gonna take Pat's playing time. I understand best player available but come on Morey. I wanted Kawhi and after I saw the spurs a.k.a. the kings of finding "diamonds in the rough" trade up to grab him I got even more ? off. I don't think Kawhi is great but he can be a very good wing defender and high energy athlete which is what we need.

    Yeah its a big log jam at both forward spots. You think Morey will try and trade Scola?

    Yep. I'd hate to see him go but he's the most attractive piece(pause, n.h.) that we can afford to get rid of. Everyone else we either shouldn't give up(lowry, k-mart) or no one would want. If we're talking about getting a star wing I could see him giving up K-mart and Scola. For as good as Scola is offensively he is a pretty weak defender. Pat doesn't have his skills on the block nor his footwork but his mid-range game is very good and he's a better athlete plus he will probably become a better defender. I still think a scola/k-mart package is better than anyone else will offer Orlando for D. Howard unless they're giving up a star themselves but I know Houston isn't a big name squad and a lot of people don't check for our players so others wont agree.

    yea but we built our team around Dwight and we will most likely get value back for him if he chooses to leave.

    chuck hayes is arguably the best post defender in the league and dude even pulled off a triple double this yea. He is more than capable of starting.

    The ? is 6'6....
    He can provide a good spark off the bench for sure, but he cannot be a long-term starter if we plan to win in the near future.

    Chuck Hayes should not be starting at center for ANYBODY. Good defensive player and should be coming off the bench.

    I honestly wouldn't mind it if we tanked, especially if we got a solid big man in the draft out of it.

    Reports are Tyson Chandler is meeting with us this week, he's also meeting with New Jersey and Golden State. New Jersey and Houston being mentioned as front runners for Nene and Tyson Chandler and Chandler already said he doesn't think he will be in a Mavericks uniform this year. Good news for us....

    hill is a ? still. Dalembert is gonna make a BIG difference for our team, I know it's the first game but just having a big body out there changed our team defensively let alone having a big man who can actually defend. Pumpfake a.k.a. kevin martin out here on his usual ? , trying to draw fouls, shoot 3's and play ZERO defense...
