I would sign Kirilenko hundreds of times before signing Jennings, and Jennings is certainly asking more than Kirilenko.

I really wish we had drafted Dieng.

What the hell is D Ferry doing?

ARE we tanking?

not really striking out, we tried, we werent willing to give a HUGE RISK 6-8 million dollars. Neither were the mavericks.

Neither was ANY OTHER TEAM :P

But , Ferry alluded to "more phone calls to be made, more contracts to be signed' today during Millsaps intro.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine

Neither Atlanta nor Dallas, sources tell ESPN, made formal offer to Bynum after their respective sitdowns with the former All-Star this week

Tells me there were more question marks than certainties.

Mavs were pursuing him HARD, and never made an offer.

At 6M only guaranteed per year, I would have add a extra full unguaranteed third year.
In a 3 big rotations, he didn't have to play 35 minutes, and all the back-to-back. If he stays healthy, we would have dominated all East frontcourts for sure.

A gamble, but a better gamble than any other.
And now, DAL is said to be interesting in Oden, but not ATL

It's less of a gamble because it will certainly be more unguaranteed than Bynum, so I hope we are after him too to test Horford with a real big potential C this season and not wait next season or more without knowing.
