Trade with the Clippers in the mix?

Well I'm sure there are more than a few fingers in Dallas and maybe even in L.A. that are crossed on that one... there haven't been any rumors spreading around, but everyone has to wonder what Rick Carlisle and Mike Dunleavy were talking about yesterday during the SL game, whatever the conversation was pertaining to looked extremely interesting, and looked like Dunleavy was leading the conversation with some serious concerns, hey maybe I'm just reading something into nothing, but let's hope this has something to do with a certain "new" German and him coming to Dallas to join the Mavs squad.

Time for the game! notes on the SL thus far coming later.

Good Lord Man!

I am getting Psyched about the start of the Summer League, I cannot wait...
expect to see coverage and more updates from me.

You will be missed Lue!

Well.. not really,
Nothing personal against Tyronn, but his decision to go with the Suns is in no way
making or breaking the Mavs, pretty much like his signing.
he was a nice enough guy though, so good luck in Phoenix, and don't let Shaq intimidate you!

An Interesting combination.

Even though I had already heard that Chris Kaman was going to be teaming up with Dirk Nowitzki and team Germany for the Olympics, I hadn't considered what a presence he would be on the Mavericks roster, and frankly I was too full of beer and barbecue to think about it.
but that didn't stop some other MFFL from suggesting a trade for him, keep your eyes peeled,
maybe something can bring the big man to Dallas.



Cheers!

Dallas- Where welcome back Desagana Diop, we're sorry we traded you happens.

The Mavericks have addressed a need and a want in the early stages of free agency.

They needed a big man and they got him Wednesday, agreeing to terms with former Maverick DeSagana Diop on a multiyear deal that starts at whatever salary the full mid-level exception is, an NBA source said. Most NBA executives expect it to be around $5.5 million

That is a spot of great news, we all love Diop.. unfortunately that MLE is gone now! so what do the Mavs do? They've got a real center now, they've got a solid back up for Dirk, they've got a pretty decent SG lineup now, only a few more pieces, and I might be back excited about this new season.

Old Faces, new faces.

So apparently JJ Barea, Eddie Jones and Desagana Diop and possibly even Eduardo Najera are currently in discussions regarding playing for the Mavs again, unfortunately getting Diop back will most likely involve our entire MLE, but the great thing is its the first step in Cuban fixing the boo boos in his ridiculous dream trade from earlier in the season, the immediate firing of Avery Johnson and then the refusal to change the lineup clearly states, that none of this was any fault of the players and all Avery's fault... or so Cuban thinks.

In any case Gerald Green or as I like to call him "the poor guy that didn't stand a chance against Dwight "Superman" Howard in the Dunk Competition" (its just a little pet name.) has verbally agreed to sign a 1-year deal with the Mavs, this could be interesting as I am pretty sure this would make him the youngest SG on the Mavs roster, maybe he'll become a starter and show true potential, the way I see it, he likes to dunk, Kidd loves alley oop passes, Howard could be great again, Dirk will alway be Dirk, Diop is going to be back, we've got ourselves an Ok starting line up.

New month, no significant changes yet.

So free agency officially begins, there's is all kinds of crazy rumors surrounding teams not named the Mavs, players opting out having people calling them left and right, every team going after guys like Baron Davis, Josh Smith, Andre Igoudala, Corey Maggette, Josh childress, Ben Gordon, Gilbert Arenas and Beno Udrih, everyone except the mavs, maybe because we are too content with are ever aging roster, I'm just saying make a push for Chris Andersen, Sebastian Telfair, and Matt Barnes.. doesn't sound like much.. but it's better than a group of old guys that tried to ride the pine to a ring... we can't all be Sam Cassell. :0
