2016 Champs nice :applause: nah but would be nice

Can you play LA and Dirk at the same time and still be successful??

Guessing Dirk will be a super sub.

Guessing Dirk will be a super sub.

That's what I'm assuming. You could maybe sneak LA to 5 but it would take away from his ability to shoot from the mid range and still have a big in position to rebound.

Should be interesting if it happens

Sign LA12 with capspace...sign-and-trade Tyson and Felton for Deandre Jordan. Re-sign Monta or let him go and sign Wes Matthews

PG
Monta
Parsons
LA12/Dirk
Deandre Jordan


Yes pls

[T_L_P]

I'd LOVE to see LMA on the Mavs. :cheers:

Not to be a d1ck, but asides from the hometown Texan thing, Aldridge has a much better chance of winning in Portland than in Dallas. Sure, Damian is overrated but as long as Olshey resigns Wes, Lopez and maybe even Afflalo, Portland is in good shape. Injuries derailed this season - i'd say that Portland had a legit shot at the WCF this year

I agree that Portland offers a better chance of winning than Dallas, but Afflalo is not going to re-sign with the Blazers, and Lopez is one of the worst starting centers in the league.

Anyway, losing Afflalo is no big deal considering how great CJ McCollum was looking at the end of the year.

lol

Dallas already as good as Portland WITH LMA, RIGHT NOW... if LMA goes to Dallas then the difference is huge.

[BlakFrankWhite]

At this point....how is Dallas better than Portland?

It would be a dumb move tbh....if Spurs and Pop want you....you go there....simple as that

[StephHamann]

Why would he go to Dallas? :lol

Makes no sense

Yes pls

Why do Clippers do that?

[gasolina]

I have a hunch this is all a smokescreen to get his price up and still sign with the Spurs.

[brain drain]

Here we go again...

The standard pattern for the last 100 years or so has always been:

1) star player says he wants to play for / likes Dallas
2) Mavs fans get excited
2a) (optional) Cuban does something bizarre like show a cheesy comic or run off to shoot a shark tank episode
3) star player signs elsewhere
4) Mavs fans are disappointed

Honestly, what was the biggest outright free agent signing of the Cuban era? Dampier? Old Kidd?

[Springsteen]

Why do Clippers do that?

Tyson and Felton for Jordan is retarded in the sense that Jordan is still 26 and has ways to go in his career while Tyson is on his way out in a couple years (felton lol), but looking at it financially the Clippers are REALLY going to be maxed out on the books if they give Deandre the money he's looking for.

[bluechox2]

how much money can dallas offer lma?

[Nanners]

I am thinking Lamarcus is going to stay in Portland just due to the fact that they can give him a lot more money than anybody else.

Not many guys are willing to leave $25-30 million on the table.

[Spurs m8]

lolol Dallas.
shit arse team with a high turn over rate who fluked 2011.

***** never gonna wing a ring there...good...hes a boring arse player anyway

If you look at Melo's career arc, they probably should

Still, better than having Tyson and Felton for the same yearly cost. If they make that trade, more needs to go to Clippers in the form of future assets than Felton.

[BlazerRed]

It's SA or Portland.

[kenny817]

Why do Clippers do that?

Uhhh cuz if Deandre Jordan is leaving...they have no absolutely ZERO cap space to go get a starring Center. Might as well take Tyson...whom CP3 loves

It really makes perfect sense for them to swap teams

[kenny817]

lolol Dallas.

Just wait. When Pop and Duncan leave...yall will be the Bobcats again

Can't wait...shit ass fanbase in SA full of fat people who know jack shit about sports

Why would he need to get his price up? He's getting the max wherever he goes

That makes no sense with max level players
