Re: Mavericks Offseason Trade/FA
Clippers Released 3 Guards better than our most of our backcourt bench... Livingston, Smush Parker, and Dan Dickau.
We HAVE to sign one of these guys. I'd prefer Smush or Livingston but Dickau is better than seeing Barea on the floor.

Better than Barea and I can't blame Smush for not wanting to cave into the Kobe Diva situation in LA at the time.

Re: Mavericks Offseason Trade/FA
He also played lousy in Miami and for the Clippers, he is just not a good player. I would rather take McLeod than him and that's speaking volumes about our depth.

Fair enough. I'd wish we'd take the chance on Stevenson. That'd give us our project backcourt of the future. Low Risk and High Reward. We have plenty of minutes to spare with all the over 30 guards we have needing to take on less minutes to be ready for post season play.

Ha yeah, Shawn Livingston. Too much multitasking at work 
I'd have Livingston on some HGH the day he signs tho. Small dose so he can gain mass with out testing positive before the season.

Re: Mavericks Offseason Trade/FA
We've resigned Antoine Wright today. 
I like the guy alright from his college years but he's yet to do anything special in the NBA.

Re: Mavericks Offseason Trade/FA
He isn't good enough defensively to justify his inept offensive showings.

Re: Mavericks Offseason Trade/FA
Just another case of not ever having to really be a defensive stopper from being more athletic than everyone he's ever defended until now and/or half assed coaching his whole life.

Re: Mavericks Offseason Trade/FA
HOOPSWORLD:
According to a source close to Dallas, the Mavs have offered Brandon Bass and Jerry Stackhouse for the Kings small forward. The chatter was first reported by Hoopsworld here, but I've independently confirmed the pieces in the offer. Stackhouse has a contract that's almost identical to Artest's ($7.4 million, expiring for Artest; $7 million expiring for Stackhouse), and Bass is a young beast of a big man who comes at the bargain price of $826,269 (also expiring). I can't even come close to seeing Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie doing this deal, not unless Josh Howard is involved.
And from what I'm told, that's not going to happen. As the Mavs see it, the perceived risk of taking Artest is acceptable so long as the price of getting him is Bass and Stackhouse. Lose Howard to get Artest, though, and the gamble is too great. As is always the case, though, things could change.
As far as the continuing frontrunners in the Artest sweepstakes, I've been told by a source close to the Lakers that there are no ongoing discussions. The next relevant date remains Friday, when the Lakers' deadline to match Ronny Turiaf's offer sheet passes. It's at that point the Lakers may decide to take on Kenny Thomas to fill Turiaf's old role or quite possibly engage a third team in the deal so as to avoid his contract.

Re: Mavericks Offseason Trade/FA
We can't give up Josh for him, we have to add talent, not make lateral moves at best.
