Found this somewhere else and wanted to post this for Warrior Fans to be happy they didn't shell out 95 mil for him

He's looked absolutely horrible to no ones surprise. Always has been overrated and nothing but s product of the system. Crazy becae he had a lot of hype coming into the league.

Like 99% of all preseason stats this is kind of pointless(especially considering the type of player comparison we are making).

What's worse is he's a billed shooter who can't shoot

It's a little bit early there to make any proclamation.

But it ain't good.

It's not looking good for the Mavs

Preseason. PRESEASON. P-R-E-S-E-A-S-O-N.

Like MJ say, you have to play every game like it's NBA final.

say preseason all you want its clear this guy is not that good and he was extremely lucky to hit FA when the cap increased. hes gonna take his payday and run

He is a horrific offensive player. I'm not shocked, and I think he will stay sub 40% for the season as far as FG% goes. He is terrible, and I was against this signing from the first moments. At least on a logical level. I guess I tried to convince myself at some point that he could work out, but other than defensive versatility and rebounding, he has very little to offer, and you don't pay 20+ mill for that.

40 mil combined for Matthews and Barnes.

And to think people actually thought he'd be the next Harden.

My condolences to you Mavericks fans.

Must be great to be Barnes though. Dude had his hand held since coming into the league.

Mavericks rolled the dice that he would make a Harden/Jackson type leap by being more featured. After Harrison rookie year I was convinced based on physical tools that he would be the best player on the team, but he never improved. I really think something is mechanically is off with his shooting form or mentally at this point, his shooting has just been atrocious since the finals. I hope he gets it going somehow, clears this mental hurdle he's going through in his career.

What were the Mavericks thinking with that contract?

Can I get a link to these hilarious posts?

It's just pre-season but this isn't a shock, particularly after all of the completely wide open jumpers he bricked during the finals.

And those stats were before his 1-9 night against Houston yesterday.

Through six games he is:
12-51 (24%)FG ...
3-16 (19%) 3pt ...
5 assists TOTAL matched by 5 turnovers
He is averaging 6.7 ppg in about 20 mins per game so far.

Wow

Yeah, don't even start me on Matthews. There are like two NBA players who managed to come back from an achilles rupture effectively, ever.

I think he is going to have a Wes Matthews like season. Atleast shooting wise. I expect 39-42 fg made % and mid 30s 3p made % as he will be pushed in a bigger role than he should have. Poor Dirk I hope he can make the playoffs 1
