Tim Cowlishaw believes the Mavs have to make a move, just to make one apparently.

My preference would be to see Shaq stuffed into a Mavs uniform...

...The fact that they almost certainly still would not have enough to beat the Lakers in the playoffs is irrelevant.

You can't base every decision solely on whether or not it gets you a title. Not in the NBA. You have to just try to improve.

Dirk had a very relaxing All-Star break.

"I got some rest and really caught up on my sleep. I didn't go out last night [Saturday]."

He may or may not have already been asleep during player introductions last night.

---------------

Fisher has some All-Star game notes.

On the court holding a framed Mavs-like All-Star jersey were Stern. ... Cuban. ... Dirk. ... and Shaq?

I'm sure it was a passing-of-the-torch staging. Shaq repping Phoenix, passing the game to Dirk, repping Dallas. But ... Dirk and Shaq, on that stage together. ... sure got me all dreamy. ...

----------------

And Fisher is also exited about the idea of LeBron doing the dunk contest in Dallas.

Can someone sign James White just so he can compete? Because this is how you dunk from the free throw line.

James White seriously,

at the 6:30 mark of this video he does a windmill from a few inches behind the free throw line.

I posted too soon

At 9:15 he goes between the legs from about where Howard took off on Saturday.

For once, I agree with Cowlishaw...

The Mavs DO have to make a move… If they want to be relevant, they can’t go into the second half with this team as currently assembled…

So what's your pleasure?

Salmons? Shaq? Davis? Camby?

Or would an Afflolo/Watson/Conley kinda thing be sufficient?

It will get everyone excited about the Mavs again.

That's what they said about Kidd

‘(Expletive) Dave Samson,’ then don’t say anything at all.
So I’m not going to say anything at all.
Is my mother the greatest or what?"

Yep, straight from Cuban

I think we were stagnating some. I think the spark and excitement that JKidd will bring is more than just what his talent offers. There is a reason why Kobe and Lebron were lobbying management to bring JKidd in. We think he will recharge the batteries of not just our players, but the organization, fans, media and even merchandise and advertising sales.
