Mavs offseason

[Teffer10]

The problem with trading Marion for Howard though is that Marion turns 30 in a few months, and for a guy whose game hinges entirely on athleticism -- that doesn't sound like a good idea.

I think Marion's athleticism will be around as long as Kidd is on the team. The only real problem would be the length of contract that Marion would demand. If we had to sign him for 4 years, I would have to agree with that it might not be a good deal.

I do like his game with Kidd as the PG though and am getting concerned about Howard's role the rest of this season.

If we opt to rebuild next offseason, I think this idea might help.

lottery pick (#7) second round pick (#37)

Trade JET, JoHo, Stack for retiring and expiring contract and picks.
Sign Elton Brand for 1 year with Larry Bird's right.
Draft Tiabeet (#7), J.Thompson(from JoHo trade), Shipp (#37), Forbes (#54)

Here's what you've got:
C - Hasheen Thabeet - Erick Dampier / Justin Williams
PF - Elton Brand - Jason Thompson / Brandon Bass
SF - Gerald Wallace - Rayshawn Terry / Eddie Jones
SG - Jason Richardson - Gary Forbes / Renaldo Seibutis
PG - Jason Kidd - Josh Shipp / Jose Juan Barea

All the new draftees are smart players who can contribute on both ends. The biggest problem should be on Elton Brand. I wonder if Mark can get something similar to DG's 1 year (with Bird's right) and re-sign him the season afterward.

You are going to trade Dirk for that crap?
