Thats the only knock on him? Sounds like an excuse for bad coaches to use. He's young, its not like he's 30 and making bad decisions with the ball. Why not take the small risk of putting him around smart players and see what happens?
Besides, what has high basketball IQ gotten us these past two years anyway? Oh yeah two of the more embarrassing playoff exits in recent history.

Haha no, what I meant was that the Mavs need to get rid of all the players... thus ending their lives as a Maverick player.

Re: Mavericks will need to get creative in off-season

You got it. 
You know what I'm saying tho. With a player like Kidd, who makes his teammates better, we should be able to bring on a young project guard with tons of potential.
Stro is past the point of catching on and becoming a star... Green is only 22. Theres still time for him and why not on our roster picking up minutes during the regular season?

Re: Mavericks will need to get creative in off-season
He still has a chance to become a solid player, but what he needs is 30 minutes a night and no team is going to give him that, no coach in the NBA will let him play through all the mistakes at this point anymore.

well i wish we could just end devon george's life....
j/k
But I really don't like the guy and veto'in the trade was the icing on the cake. Stuck with his mediocrity for the length of his contract. I hope we already got rid of the guy who thought George should have any type of special rights to his contract...

Let him run with Kidd on the break. It'll sell tickets. I'd rather see him in there screwing up than our high IQ players doing just the same and looking slow while doing it.

I'd rather get better players than Green or players with more potential for the future.

Yeah, well... He did bring the Mavs back during the Final game against the Hornets. That's pretty much the only thing I can like about him, but I honestly would prefer if he wasn't in a Mavs uniform next year.

Re: Mavericks will need to get creative in off-season
George always steps up when he gets playing time. I don't mind having a player like him deep in our bench, he knows what he's doing and he doesn't make a lot of mistakes.

We are a veteran team and a playoff team, we can't afford mistakes. Brandon Bass is the only young player that i am fine with getting more minutes.

Nothing's worse than filling your roster with expensive veterans in order to win now, and then don't.
