Jason Kidd signs 3 year deal with Knicks. (Not officially, but I'm calling it and that is what matters)


Jason Kidd just signed a 3 year deal with the knicks.  What does this mean for the Mavericks? 

 

Who is our new starting point guard..

JJ Barea is it right now...  We can't even win 40 games with that...  He's a good backup, but not a starter...

 

Whats Cuban going to do?  It seems as though he's not into spending the money anymore at all, I think he gave up..

 

So if Barea is our starting point guard going into the season, then we know this organization is done?

They’d have no depth behind Howard. Lost Battie/Turk and now Gortat? Probably won’t though.

Gortat

Mark Stein Twittered earlier tonight that Gortat to the Mavs is all but a done deal.

I haven’t seen any confirmation on Kidd to the Knicks either, but I can’t say it bothers me. Maybe now the Mavs can get on with shaking up the team.

eh, he's 24 so if he develops into a solid C, you're getting him on the cheap through his prime

i like the idea of signing a guy like him… But unfortunately we just dont have the pieces and we now need a true SG and PG really. I wonder if Jet takes the reigns full time now at PG? Does that even seem viable

Also the idea the Jr is spreading

that damp and stack can be traded before the season starts really should be taken as an assumption completely detached from reality, well, like all of Jr’s moves. Those 2 won’t likely get moved until the deadline. If Kidd is smart he won’t board that plane back to Dallas.

no i have never heard of a television.

thats what the internet is for. of course it also allows people, apparently you in this instance, to think people, me, are trying to start fights, which is not the case.

typically when breaking news is posted on the internet there is a link or some sort of credit to go along with where they heard it. there was none, no mention of where it was heard and i looked and found nothing, hence it is easy to believe that this was more of your schtick. if that is not the case then i will hope the mavs “brain trust” has some sort of strategy to get a starting pg in here and thank you for breaking the news.

Jason Kidd informed the Knicks he plans to take the holiday weekend to consider his options – coming to New York for the mid-level exception or taking a three-year, $24-million offer to stay in Dallas – before making a decision on his future.

Ross is not a 3-point specialist. He shot the three well last year, and only last year. He couldn’t hit a house from three point range his first 4 years.

You’re reaching for negativity here.

His first 3 years he took a combined 21 3s.

Ross as a" plus 3 point shooter "

can’t be taken seriously. He about 25 3’s in his first 4 years,made about about a 20% clip and then has a year where he makes about 25 threes (or 1 every 3 games) at a league average rate can’t be regarded as an improvement over Wright. Ross is third string all the way.

Dude

The one who can’t be trusted is you. You’re severely misrepresenting the data to make a point, which is really sad.

He essentially doubled his three point output in 07-08, and hit at .429%. Then last year, while playing 17 minutes a game, he was slightly above average. Maybe it’s a stretch to say “plus” but he’s significantly better than Wright.

Young PG

The Mavs did acquire two in the draft- Beaubois and Calathes. I’m not that high on Beaubois, but Calathes is supposed to have a lot of potential. Dallas just has to wait a year until his contract with Panathinaikos is up.

I don't think Calathes has "minus" speed

he’ll be average or a little on the slow side but I think elsewhere he could be solid. There are point guards out there who don’t have the tremendous speed.

If Beaubois somehow turns out a lesser version of Devin Harris, I’ll think it’s a nice pick.

calathes contract is for 2 years i believe

although he will most likely be there for only one as he has a reasonable buyout.

unlike most i am actually a fan of roddy b. I was hoping we trade up to get him in the second after we picked mullens and as i was texting that to a buddy okc took him next pick. I was very surprised we grabbed him that high. bottom line is he is raw yes, but has a great shot, off the charts athleticism, and devin harris speed.

I just realized it today

He has been frustrating me with his approach to the Rangers since last summer, and it finally dawned on me that the core of the issue is that he doesn’t actually like baseball like he does the other sports. So you have a team that hasn’t won in a long time, and you combine that with his lack of interest in the details of the sport, which he has for the other major sports, and you get his lazy approach to the Rangers.

i don’t see that. knicks need to free up money for 2 big signings next off season. bosh/lebron?

they’d only get kidd for 1 year, and i’m sure dallas can beat a 1 year deal

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

by gossamer on Jul 3, 2009 12:17 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

My thoughts.....

I do not think that Kidd will sign with the Knicks. The main reason that he would sign with them is the chance that Lebron somehow winds up there (I don’t think this will happen)

Here is what I see happening this off-season for the Mavs:

1.Gortat signs and the Magic do not match.
2. Kidd re-ups with the Mavs
3. The Mavs then trade Stacks expiring in a sign and trade for Shawn Marion.
4. Bass will sign with someone else

our lineup will look like this:

C: Gortat, Damp
PF: Dirk
SF:Marion
SG: Howard, Terry
PG:Kidd, Barea

It will get you to the playoffs again…..but I can’t see it getting you past the 2nd round, so the mavs will be right back where they were….not good enough.

I would agree....

Again that is just what I see happening.

I like Williams because like Gortat they make this team younger as well as better.

I just see the mavs looking to make a splash that will put butts in seats. Marion fits that bill.
