He hardly played for us - even when he played for us.

He's really made a difference for the Mavs. I hope he can stay healthy.

I'd give anything if we had something to offer for Wallace. I really like seeing the Mavs win with defense, and I think he would make us better defensively. We have good defensive wing players now, but he would be better than any we currently have. But honestly, I think we've got nothing to offer if you decided to move him to start a rebuilding process. I mean, the Mavs aren't exactly full of young prospects. :-?

He was not very good for us as a player outside of his defensive man marking skills. I wish I could say I'm happy for Chandler in Dallas, but I'm not, I'm only happy for their fans. Mavs have a lot that I like about them, Dirk, Jkidd, Tuff Juice, Carlisle, Cuban, Haywood, yadda yadda... Pussyfoot is not one of those things.

I mean, we used to do over/unders on how early he'd pick up his second foul, which we all know is an LB mandated icing until the second half. I mean, we called him pussyfoot! Screw that guy.

Me personally, I'd do Butler and a 1st, but I don't know if that's enough because our 1st's are always late 1st's. I wouldn't do 2 1st's simply because Dallas has so few tradable assets that we've got to be careful with the ones we have.

And by the way, I do understand how some of you feel about Chandler. I acknowledge that so far, Dallas has seen him at his best. Healthy, happy to be on a winning team, motivated, appreciated. If it was the injured version that you guys saw, with the expectations that you had of him, we probably wouldn't be as happy as we are right now.

Its because he's on a good team now, who has there stars, and role players already defined. He knows the roll he has to rebound, block shots and lane intemidation.
