EDIT: Ric bucher's twitter also has Greg Buckner to Dallas and Quincy Douby to Memphis.
Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
I'm glad we threw Devean George in there too. So damn sick of him.
Possible rotation as of now:
Kidd/Barea
Howard/Terry
Marion/Ross
Dirk/Singleton (maybe Bass)
Gortat/Dampier
Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
Buckner has the exact same type of contract as Dampier
The Mavs can now offer a full on max contract for a player next summer in a sign and trade. Some team is going to lose their star for nothing and Dallas will be able to step in and give them instant and significant savings with two completely non guaranteed contracts.

In Cuban we trust? Damn, I just wanna see Dirk win it all, and with the Mavs not anywhere else.
Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
Wow they even get Humphries out of the deal.
Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
I don't know why but I can see a 2nd rounder thrown to TO for some reason. In these types of trades, there is usually a draft pick somewhere...

Lebron may have some thinking to do. Dallas is a far bigger market than Cleveland, not as big as New York though. However, with their roster intact apart from Howard and Dampier leaving Lebron would have a terrific chance to win with Dirk, Kidd, Terry, and the rest. Wade is another guy who you could bring up, but I question how deep the hate really runs between Dirk and him. Their mutual dislike seems pretty genuine.
The guy I look at is Joe Johnson, he could fill that 2 guard spot and would compliment Dirk well. Ah well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion are reunited once again.
Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
Whatever with Marion, I'm just glad that Devean George is gone.

How good is Wright? Possible starting SG for the raps next year?
Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
^I'd rather start Derozan than Wright, though we havent even seen how Derozan plays, i bet they will average around the same numbers... Around 7.3 PPG same as Wrights average last year
Why dont Mavs fans like Devean George? :confusedshrug: Are you gonna tell us or are you gonna let Raptors fans find out...
Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
[QUOTE=Twiens]How good is Wright? Possible starting SG for the raps next year?[/QUOTE]
Inconsistent.
Offensively, when he's on fire, he's on fire but that rarely happens. Can drive to the basket (occasionally) but gets caught out by the defenders easily + unable to create contact or force a good shot. He is a shooting guard that can't shoot. I lost counts on how many open shots he missed last season.
Good defender though, I believe he defended our oppositions best wing player occasionally. Didn't do too bad of a job. I guess that's all lol.
Who's your projected starting SG?

Wright is a solid defensive role player. You really don't want to have to start him unless you have 3 solid starting scorers though.
He has a really nice don't F with me mean streak too.
We don't like George b/c he is the devil. For every good play he will make two bad ones. Ok but overrated defense. Loves to take stupid fouls once he gets beat or feels he was fouled on the other end. Takes bad three pointers all the time. If he drives, 90% of the time it ends in a charging foul.

Bargnani, Bosh, Turkoglu... I'd rather Derozan start at least he can knock down mid range shots...

Thats all raptor fans want to hear. :cheers:
Oh and I guess Derozan will be starting for us at the 2 spot.
