It's like he abandoned us and created a new Mavs site out there.

We’re the first wife whose husband took off with a younger gal.
I am reading waaay too much into this.

well, that's not the starting lineup i was hoping to see

by octoberty on Oct 20, 2009 6:39 PM CDT reply actions

What do you think about Gooden getting the nod at center?

I don’t feel too good about that.

I think Luke French has a lot of potential. TORP potential.-Dstar

I can't think of many teams that have a worse situation at center than the Mavs

Minnesota

Here's a few I like less

Detroit, Minnesota as of opening night, Golden State, Houston, Indiana, Miami, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma City, Washington and Sacramento

throw in San Antonio and Phoenix if you don’t consider Duncan and Amare as centers

I would take Beidrins and Turiaf over what we have in a heartbeat

I like NY, Washington, and Sac better than what we have

by octoberty on Oct 21, 2009 12:03 PM CDT up reply actions

Like Miami better

Brook Lopez, NJ?

I do consider Duncan and Amare big men, not necessarily centers, but guys who live in the paint. Guys that would play the 5 position if they played next to Dirk.

OKC and Indiana, to me, are the only teams worse off.

we disagree

I see the perfect mixture between Damp and Gooden, and I think Damp plays best in a tandem: offense, athleticism, tough rebounding and fast break opportunities from Gooden with the ability to guard the smaller lineup Cs out there; defense, size, offensive rebounding from Damp

What’s not to like there, with an opportunity to grow at the end of the season by trading Damp’s expiring contract?

I like the contract aspect of Dampier

I’m just talking on the court. If it was Damp from a couple years ago, then I would agree, but he was close to useless last year. Maybe he worked extremely hard this offseason
