    This guy does a good impersonation of 'Ron Artest' from a few years ago and goes on a bricking streak with disregard to the game plan if he's in panic mode. You guys think the Mav's would have been worst off if they had this guy on the court? I think so, he takes away from Dirk's shot and really doesn't fit their team.

    If he was playing, we wouldn't see Deshawn Stevenson, which is a good thing for the Mavs.

    The Mavs would probably be even better. I think Caron would start, and Marion off the bench. That's just sick.

    Caron would be taking Deshawn Stevenson's minutes. I see nothing but positives.

    Mavs defense would be better and he has the experience from his time in Wizards to guard Lebron.

    Mavs would have finished as the #1 seed and best record in the NBA. They would have been the consensus favorite to win it all. They would have beaten New Orleans in the opening round (since MEM would not have tanked), OKC in the 2nd round and [whatever team] in the WCFs.

    Wasn't he trying to come back in the 2nd round, then the team announced he was out for the remainder of the playoffs? I wonder if that includes the NBA Finals? If he thinks he can be productive off the bench, I would let him get a chance to play on the biggest stage in basketball.
