Mavs free agency and draft discussion (welcome back TC!)

Looks like Marion will take less money and go to the Cavs...

I don't blame him. After the Pacers lost Stephenson and George, I don't blame Marion. The Pacers are gonna suck this year. He'll get to play with Lebron and have a very strong chance at a championship before he retires.

Smart move for him for sure. Cavs are starting to look very good!

And it looks like the Pacers are now after Marion as well.

Any word on Marion yet?

I saw something yesterday where he visited with Cleveland. No deal yet though.


And it looks like Love to Cleveland for Wiggins and Bennett is done.

Looks like Love will sign a 5 year deal with Cleveland.

I wish pre-season started next week. Sucks having to wait til mid October for it.

Yeah this and football

The pre-season schedule looks interesting with Dallas meeting Houston in the first game as well as meeting up against Vince Carter and the Grizzlies. We also have games against OKC and Cleavland. Man even the pre-season has me excited.

Starting 5

Nelson
Ellis
Parsons
Nowitzki
Chandler

I'll take that

That's a good starting 5

[Jose]

Any word on Marion yet? I haven't heard he's signed up with anyone yet but it seems like we are out of money to sign him regardless at this point. If so that will be to bad.

Otherwise, next season is shaping up to be really interesting and I can't wait for it to start up.

[TRAXX]

Starting 5

Nelson
Ellis
Parsons
Nowitzki
Chandler

I'll take that

Definitely looks good.

Off the bench...
Devin Harris
Brandon Wright
Richard Jefferson
Maybe Felton (holding out hope Carlisle can get him back to his prime)
Maybe Marion


Looks solid. Will miss VC but feel Brandon Wright might be the guy to take a more prominent role on that second line.

Starting 5

Nelson
Ellis
Parsons
Nowitzki
Chandler

I'll take that

At least this will make them more competitive with the Spurs. Gonna be hard to dethrone a team that's bringing back 90% of it's players from a championship team, even if half of them are over the hill. (Cuban, you can learn something from the Spurs org). Yeah - It still bothers me a little that the Mavs didn't have a chance to realistically defend their title, but it seems to have worked out.

Yeah he should have kept team together...on the other note as Mavs were the only team to give S.A a run for their money in the playoffs this year. Should get interesting this year!

[mustang_marc]

Yeah he should be signing today...Mavs look to really want to make a push at another ring.

Looks like Mavs are aiming for Jameer Nelson for PG. Might not be a bad pickup.
