    Mavs are toast. Now watch their attendance go down to our levels. Dallas fans are bandwagoners too.

    I never understood the Monta hate. He's actually a really good player and he'd be a fantastic option for us or any contender off the bench as a super 6th man. Even as a starter I'd take him over a lot of other players in his class such as K-mart, OJ Mayo, J.R. Smith, Louis Williams etc. I think Monta will be a good fit and play well in Dallas.

    Exactly.

    He's a good player. Said it last year he would be much better for the Thunder than Martin as he actually shows up in clutch moments, is very aggressive.

    I also think he's much better than Mayo or Smith.

    Dirk will pass the touch or Ellis will shank him for it.

    This. Why get Monta and the likes of Calderon and Harris when you could tank for Wiggins?

    42 percent shooting from the field including including a putrid 28 percent from deep. Also took him 17.5 shots to avg that 19.2 ppg

    Now... had they done this and offered to take JLin and Asik off our hands it would at least be an interesting team to watch...

    Lin
    Monta
    Marion
    Dirk
    Asik

    "Take them off our hands"...for who? This doesn't even make any sense. For that matter why the hell would you want Dallas to be good?

    Side note: for comedic purposes, a friend of mine works for the Mavericks and he's extremely pissed off. "Welp, back to being a Rockets fan". Haha.

    They've said on the radio her in Dallas that Mark plans on playing Harris at the 2 guard.

    They'll screw the pick up, I promise you. They're not getting the #1 pick, so don't worry about it.

    I'd rather not take the chance.

    Have a lot of faith in your crystal ball do you?

    Really? You're going to try and take a shot at me? LOL...
    If people who work for the Mavericks don't have faith in their GM, why would I?

    The competence of their GM has no bearing on whether they get lucky in the lotto or not.

    Um in case you haven't noticed the lottery has been rigged for quite some time. If you really think the team set with the 14th pick is going to manage to get the #1 pick, I don't know what to say to you. I'm done.
