Injuries had always been a question mark for that man, but he's made a serious impact on the Mavs. Anyody else wish we would have taken a flyer?

Well considering that rumors were going around that we could habe swapped Ben Wallace's cap relief for him.. and we didn't...and he's been healthy and solid defensively since then...

yeah, would have loved him

Yeah, I always thought the guy would have fit perfectly in our system next to Amare. I thought our medical staff would have done wonders for him too.

Absolutely. Amare next to a defensive rebounder who can also throw down a Nash alley would be beastly. Nash just has to chuck it up there and one of those two would get it.

I busted balls about Chandler for a while. Amare and Chandler would have been absolute filth.

Nah...Even though Frye most likely wouldn't have been signed to that ridiculous deal the Suns did the right thing. If they got him they would never have been able to get Gortat who is younger, healthier and has alot more potential.

The Suns wouldn't have Gortat or Warrick. And would probably still have Amare.

Should have, could have, if we didn't sell Gortat in the first place we could have kept Marion and we could have gone for different guys with our 15 th pick.

We should have done that simply because we resurrect careers.

+1

I'd take a front court lineup of Amare/Chandler/Lopez/Frye over Frye/Lopez/Warrick/Gortat any day of the effing week.

I know there was Amare for KG talk, but I thought there was also Marion for KG talk. Never heard any Marion for Chandler talk though.

Same with Marion for Shaq. That trade was totally out of the blue.

I remember at the time of the Shaq trade, I was a scrawny little Asian kid, and angry we didnt do Marion for Yao. :rofl:
