Seriously, this must be one of the worst nba rosters of all time. I can't believe we are winning games with team.

Dj is a pretty good player. Jack is a great player. Hendo will be a good player. Diaw is a highly talented but maybe even more highly unusual player. Livingston isn't a bad scorer off the bench. We have a good coach who knows the guys well considering the circumstances.

Yes.

Corey Brewer would be an excellent addition! He is a young guy who has been productive this season. He fills a big need for this team, the wings. He also fits the motto of not only helping us this year, but also for many future years because of his young age. He would fill in very nicely on the bench. Much like Hendo was doing before the Wallace trade. Your telling me you would rather have no one in that roster spot than have Brewer who could at least add SOMETHIGN to this team to try and make the playoffs? Adding Brewer would be big. IF in fact we could do it, it would almost be like he were included in the trades. He would be a big plus to this team in the future and most importantly, now. Please pick Charlotte!


its not that i wouldnt mind adding him, its that i dont want to pay him anything more than minimum. the tweet made it sound like brewer was chasing the best money offer. i didnt want to win that bidding war.

All a player can be offered after clearing waivers is (I think) the minimum.

Just filed to ESPN.com: Mavs close to completing free-agent deal with Corey Brewer. Closing in on multi-year deal if Brewer clears waivers

Deal will start in $2 million range. Mavs capitalize on fact they could outspend Spurs and Celts, who made strong impressions on Brewer

He plays defense.

Don't see how he works in Dallas. Someone's going to get their PT cut.

They're already playing small ball at the 2 more often than not, and need to cover those minutes.

My point is that they've got enough minutes at the 2-3 going to crappy players that it will be an improvement.

IMO, I think Dallas is trying to conserve Marion, Terry, Peja, and some of those other guys for the playoff push.

And they want Marion to get more time at the 4, I'd imagine, where they're short on skill.

Cuban will overpay, so we cannot really compete with that. Oh well, at least we tried.

On the bright side, we'll trade for him after Cuban overpays him this off-season. :lol:
