The Mavericks #2 Must Do Behind Signing Dirk

by bbob on Jul 2, 2010 1:17 PM CDT

As we all know Dirk can't play every second of every game. What the Mavericks need most they already once had, a stellar backup for Dirk that can create his own shot, pound the boards, and excite the crowd. Ladies (all two of you) and Gentleman I present to you, KHump.

If they get him, sources say they have a deal in place to move Kris Humphries to clear additional cap space to make a max offer to Chris Bosh or another free agent of his choosing.

What team would be on the other end of that deal? Your Dallas Mavericks (we can always dream).

Well at least this is better than robert veno

trying to explain how dampier isn’t an asset to the mavericks. Anyway, to be honest, Chris Bosh is not coming to Dallas. He’s probably ending up in Miami, given the relationship he’s built with Dwayne Wade. The mavs should be focusing on getting the 2nd tier free agents like Joe Johnson (who in his own right is damn good on offense, not so much on defense) and Brendan Haywood. I would hope that we could target particular Timberwolves like Al Jefferson and potentially Corey Brewer (with Minnesota trying to sign a big name FA and their recent selection of Wesley Johnson). Brewer has been a guy who is just starting to come into his own, after under-performing the past few years.

Rangers FTW

i think that excerpt was from another article.

i doubt anyone in dallas thinks bosh is coming here.

i hope so.

I don’t really want Bosh coming here. I would love to get a younger free agent here to try to accelerate a pseudo youth movement. The one FA i am excited about potentially bringing to dallas via sign and trade has to be Amare, who the Sun’s are apparently moving on without (after signing Hakim Warrick today). Amare is most likely the FA that the knicks target from here though, with Mike D’antoni there.

Rangers FTW

Yeah sorry I did a crappy job of quoting.

It was referring to the Nets getting Bron and moving KHump to clear room for Bosh.

no problem, guy.

you were too busy lookin at the dreamynezz.

Amare is going to the Knicks, wouldn’t want him anyways. He was offered a contract already, and it’s huge.

by Why on Jul 2, 2010 2:32 PM CDT up reply actions

is either add bench support or go aggresively after Lebron/some other big FA. Dirk’s back-ups are fine. Marion is fine as a back-up PF, and I can deal with Najera

these fanposts

are outta control

Twas tongue and cheek..

I am a big KHump fan as most of the regulars know, but even I know that he isn’t the 2nd highest priority for the Mavs.

unpossible

I'm doing the binary conversion now.

Speaking of idiots,

Don’t you love a world where the Mavs number two priority is trying to find a way to get another elite player to join the team, and the Spurs number one priority is getting Tiago Splitter to the NBA?

they're turning duncan into a cyborg.

or so i hear from my sources.

That’s just sad…

No thanks, using Marion as a back-up PF is fine. Anyways, Miami is trying to use him for a possible sign and trade, maybe with Toronto, but no one wants him.
