    I'm sure I'm the only one who thinks so, but the front court of Dirk, Kaman and Brand is a really nice fit. Might not be the best players at their positions, but at least its not a team just throwing any players on the teams wildly. Added O.J. Mayo last night and they're going to contend next year.

    I vow Kaman has a monster season!!

    It's pretty easy to rebuild a clunker, when you already have nothing to work with. I think this would qualify as a trade in versus a rebuild.

      Mayo underrated

      No one ever cut him loose on court

        But where do you see them finishing in the West?? I say they can be the number 2 seed.

            So this is what Dallas gave up their chance to repeat for ? Kaman, Brand and Mayo ?

              Why is that bad?

              Kaman's last full season playing, he averaged 18 points a game and over 9 rebounds. Has Chandler ever been close to doing that?

                  Just need someone to bring the ball up and throw it down to one of those three up front.

                        Chandler was a defensive prescence. Kaman does not have anywhere near the defensive abilities that Chandler has

                        This team is too offensive oriented and will struggle defensively

                        Mark Cuban is trying too hard to patch together a team with trades and free agent signings, what needs to be done is rebuild from scratch. Throwing together a team of parts is not going to work.

                        When was the last time the Mavs had a good draft pick or a good draft? Never, I can't even name a player that they have drafted that has made an impact

                        Mavs need to learn when to throw in the towel, raise the white flag, and try to rebuild for the future

                          OJ Mayo is a good player, if he stops chucking it then he might raise his game to the next level

                            No playoffs or a first round exit. Neither is worth the headache that Cuban has put together. I hope Sacramento or Golden State get it together and bypass the Mavs. They both have better rosters. Carlise will have to be Copperfield to win with this bunch.

                              Mavs will be in the playoffs.

                              Good chance for a first round exit though, all depends on who they play obviously.

                              But they still have Dirk, who will always dominate. Just depends on who else they'll have fill in the 1-3 spots.

                                        Collison/Do Jones/Roddy
                                        Mayo/Carter/Da Jones
                                        Marion/Carter/Cardinal
                                        Dirk/Wright
                                        Brand/Kaman

                                        + the 3 rookies (one guard, one forward, one center)

                                        4th fave in the west according to bookies (behind okc, lal, sa, ahead of mem and lac). I think if they avoid lal or okc they can make the 2nd round, even without homecourt. We'll see.

                                          I'd love to have Delonte back but as far as I understood, he would have to take very little money due to cap and doesn't look like it's gonna happen.

                                            Collison should be able to run that team good...Forgot they got him.

                                            They just soft at the 3 spot.

                                            Bring back Delonte West to play the 1/2 spot off the bench. Guy's a goofball but always thought he was a decent player.


                                            EDIT: yea the guy is gonna get paid probably more to play elsewhere and he's broke, so he'll take the most money offered.

                                              Unrestricted free agent Delonte West has a better chance of being re-signed by the Mavs now that Deron Williams and Jason Terry are not going to be in Dallas next season.
                                              West is looking for a multi-year deal after playing on one-year contracts for two seasons according to ESPN Dallas. Marc Stein added that Dallas wants him back, and it's starting to look like that's what will happen. Jul 3 - 10:26 PM

                                                Dallas will be battling for the 8th seed if they are lucky.

                                                  Mavs did an okay job. In the long run, they would have been better off just holding onto their money, and saving up for whoever is available in next years free agent market. Just because you have a bunch of money doesn't mean you have to go out and spend it. Mayo, Kaman, etc. are all nice pieces, but it does feel a bit "thrown together." Mavs will probably finish somewhere around the 7th seed. The PG position will be a major problem for them. Collison is a backup PG, there is a reason why he lost his starting job and lost significant minutes. Brand, Marion and Carter are only getting older. Who knows how Dirk will keep up with his age.

                                                    Alright team, not winning anything but should get a 6-8 seed. Probably lose in the first round.

                                                          Dirks been old...But he'll still have his only move, which isn't really affected by his "oldness"

                                                          I dislike the guy, but he's a solid player and tough to defend.

                                                              im not sure where ur optimism is coming from. this is a patchwork team with basically wavier wire players and left overs FA's.
                                                              they are pretty decent pickups but none are star unless u consider MAYO to be the exception. the mavs are just putting together a decent team and hoping for a big FA next year, since most of the signings were only 1 year deals.

                                                              i see the mavs as a 6-7-8 type of playoff team, if they make it at all.
