Remember when the NBA season started
and people were talking about Knicks/Celtics as a potential first round matchup and two forces to be reckoned with in the East?
That was fun.

RT @FisolaNYDN: The Denver Nuggets, including the playoffs, are 30-16 since the Carmelo trade. The Knicks, including playoffs, are 20-26.
All Dolan
this quote is hilarious.
RT @FisolaNYDN: Melo says you can’t compare #Knicks and #Nuggets because Denver “got 5 starters” Exactly
Someone needs to put Hubie down.
He’s awful.
Same
Mostly because Donald Sterling is the devil.

Why do you think I hate Greg Monroe?
I like him a lot.

What the holy fuck?
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
I OFFERED HIM BETTER THAN THAT
SOME STRAIGHT UP BULLSHIT FUCKING MAURICE
Jesus fucking Christ, Or.
You traded the only player worth a damn in that entire deal.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
Knight is the tallest midget among DET PGs.
Too many turnovers, too low of a FG%.
Knight’s not a bad player… but he’s nowhere near as valuable as Monroe.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
Is this a dynasty league and no one told me?
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
There are about 25 to 30 point guards in the league
Who are more valuable than him in our fantasy league.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
Knight has the starting gig locked up and will only improve
George is a very valuable piece that will help in nearly every category. Ibaka is a top shot blocker and if Brooks finally decides to play him 30+ could easily average a double/double.
Yup.
He’s probably the third best player in the deal.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
What do the spreadsheets say?
I agree that Monroe is the best player in the deal but I bet the numbers are closer post-trade than they first appear.
I have in terms of ranking
Monroe: 16th
George: 91st
Ibaka: 98th
Young: 113th
Knight: 144th
Knight will obviously climb that… but even going forward I don’t expect him to be much more than a top 80 player at best.
The production divide from Monroe to everyone else is massive.
I did overrate Young… but Young is roughly the same value as George and Ibaka.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
I expect Ibaka to improve, though
Same with Knight . I’m also a big Paul George fan. It hurt me to let Monroe go, but he’s playing waaaay above where I thought he would.
I understand there may have been technically better offers out there, but Sprite happened to have guys who matched up with my sexiness scale.

And after his last game, Roddy, too.

For the record....
You only need to go see Haywire if you just really enjoy seeing Gina grapple and then kick guys in the head.
Not a horrible movie… but it’s not much more than her fight scenes and skipping through scenes with the barest semblance of plot to the next one.

Delonte West
despite that last play, seems an upgrade over JJ, no? Seems like he’s all over the place…..
even if you liked Barea
I didn’t remember much about West since he has missed so much time the last 2 years so i’ve been pleasantly surprised by just about everything: shooting, ball handling, getting to the rim, defense.
Seems an upgrade over Kidd at this point.

There's a rumor
that JKidd may score tonight. Not sure if I believe it or not.

He's been great this year.
And his defense is ten billion times better than JJ.

Ugh. You don't fuck with knees. Hopefully he didn't do any further damage by playing through it.
EKS_MavsNBA
Dirk said he hasn’t been able to lift or do much of anything on the knee all season and that this week will be like a week of training camp.
Why not do this at the beginning of the year? Just take the first week off.
He’ll probably be alright, but you don’t let a 33 year old in his 14th season just play through knee problems.

The Mavericks remain completely weird. Benching the reigning Finals MVP to work out while locked in a battle for playoff seeds in which every game matters? OK.

"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
I'm no genius, but I think I may have identified the Knicks issue
Top four players in field goals attempted:
Anthony: 40.4%
Stoudemire: 41.3%
Shumpert: 38.4%
Douglas: 32.3%
Good lord is that bad. 49 shots a game between that bunch. Chandler’s awesomeness is the only reason they’re not flirting with sub-40% shooting as a team.

Blatche on whether the players tuned out Flip Saunders: “I can somewhat agree to that. Kind of somewhat.” (via @MikeWiseguy)
Just read the article.
Giving up both Griffin and Jordan for Howard alone is too much, but throwing Anderson into the deal makes it something I believe is fair for both sides.
Disagree that Blake/Jordan is too much.
New York Knicks trade Carmelo Anthony to the New Jersey Nets for Deron Williams
…..
Lakers trade Pau Gasol and Darius Morris to the Houston Rockets for Luis Scola and Kyle Lowry
It’d be tough to give up Lowry but Morey loves Gasol.
He ws 0/4 when I typed that, but more importantly, everyone in the starting lineup had taken more shots than him..
and even a player on the bench
Put up a GDT for the OU-Baylor MBB game.

Terry always does that stupid stop and pop 3.
If he doesn’t hit it there is no way anyone gets down in time to help.

"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
That's fine.
I know he’s more valuable.
5th in REB, 2nd in OREB… decent FG. Doesn’t commit many TO or get to the line often so he doesn’t drag those stats down. Blocks are mediocre but above average. Steals a bit better.
I don’t know why Yahoo ranks him the way they do… but he’s absolutely more valuable than Terry.
Using even weights for all 10 categories I have Bob as 38th in the league and Terry 104th.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
I mean... I don't mind keeping him.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
But he's elite in those two categories.
And doesn’t kill you in any other category.
So many big men have horrible FT% and are turnover machines… they get to the line a lot and the weighted average of all their misses takes down the rate stats.
He scores just enough to just be slightly below average. He’s averaged 1.4 steals per game this year which is quite nice. 0.8 blocks isn’t great… but it’s above average.
FT% and 3PT are his worst category and they aren’t that bad. Those are also easy remedy.
Terry scores right at average for all the players in the league (14 pts is average for every player on all 12 fantasy teams). He’s a top 12 guy in 3’s… but that’s the only thing he does well. Everything else is barely above average in things like FT% (because he doesn’t get to the line enough to affect the weighted average) and A/TO.
And Terry is a terrible rebounder even for a guard.
I’ll take my rankings.

There’s no deal in place, I’m reliably told, but Hornets have effectively shelved Chris Kaman until they can find trade home for him
IT'S NOT A KEEPER LEAGUE
YOU REALIZE THE VALUE OF DRAFT PICKS RIGHT?
We're not even half way through the season
your team isn’t complete shit and you can still make the playoffs if you can get creative. This isn’t a rotisserie league either.
If I wait until halfway through the season, Tyler's potentially out of the market.
If I do this now, I maximize the value I get from Howard (and others) while there are still games left to be played. That, plus current mid-table teams like Tyler’s are still in play, probably netting me a better pick. I’m not smart enough about this shit to be creative enough to win this year (LOOK AT MY MOVES), so I’ll restock for next year and actually learn a little bit about FBB.
I don't believe in vetoing trades.
I was surprised the Terry/Chandler one was… I mean… it was an incredibly stupid trade… but there’s no money changing hands.
As long as it’s not collusion…
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
It's what I thought, but with the way there were talking it sounded like they might have the option.
You’re the reason it is this way.
No
and the big problem I had with that trade was because the guy was inactive all year. I was talking to Longhorn about the league on here and when I reminded him that the deadline was in 30 minutes and he was shit out of luck on improving his roster, he had a trade done within the next 10 minutes.
the trade was proposed to me
i accepted. funny thing is, tyd is going and trading with the last 2 teams who are starting players that are injured.
What was the trade?
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver

Almost a really nice defensive play by Roddy to cut off that pass.

i remember seeing him on team china
play the us junior nationals when he got drafted at smu’s place
you could see he had talent and he’s built pretty solid.
of course china got blown by a team consisting of michael beasley (easily best player that day) deandre jordan stephan curry and other current nba players (who were in college at the time)

He may have
had a few practices like this, judging by all the praise the vets heap upon him, but this is the first time he’s showed all his wares in game action. Gotta be his best game to date.
Monroe's a decent defender as far as I can tell
what’s up with the blocks? Knew it before I made the trade but it’s still confusing.

Magic lockeroom not a happy place, and teammates are at a crossroads with Dwight Howard
You should probably trade him to us.

I would hate to see Roddy go.
Because I don’t think Kidd has anything left in the tank.
But I would obviously love to see Howard come in.

A 1st and a 3rd should do the trick
lolololol
Haywood playing well too. If Carlisle gave Wright some time, he'd be an option too.
Hard to see Lakers’ best offer being beaten though.

It's tough because
you obviously trade for him if you can, because you make Deron signing here after that a pretty high chance of happening.
But if both can just hit free agency, we can sign them both AND keep Roddy for a
Deron, Roddy, who cares, Dirk, Howard roto that makes my pants tight.

“I look at guys and they don’t look like they want to play,” Howard said following Orlando’s surprisingly lopsided 93-67 loss to a New Orleans Hornets team that came into Friday night’s meeting on a nine-game skid.
“I told them at halftime, `If you don’t want to play, just stay in the locker room, because it don’t make sense for a team who we should beat to just demolish us.”
You know...
..I obviously want him no matter what, but pretty much every time Howard opens his mouth I cringe and worry about tying a franchise to that guy.
yeah
I don’t have a problem with him saying that to his teammates, but to say it publicly fixes nothing.
Makes me feel a little weird to betray my usual “chemistry is overrated” analytical stance in saying this, but a big part of me would much rather have Deron, even with the obvious drop off in numbers. That being if I had to choose.

I think a case can be made
that in the short term, when looking at this roster, Deron makes more sense if you’re choosing between the two.
But when you start to factor in life after Dirk, or at least life after franchise carrying Dirk, I’ll still take Dwight.
I'll ask you as well
what sites do you prefer for mavs talk?
Well, you already gave a "meh" when I recommended the board I frequent. :)
Other than Dallas-Mavs.com, and the threads on this site, I mainly use Twitter.
well
I think I’ll mosey on over there as this “NBA” thread is just a fantasy league circle jerk.
I agree with you
And if Howard became a Mav, I’d probably quickly learn to get over it.

I've yet to find a site in the stratosphere of LSB-quality for Mavs talk
I lurk at Mavs Moneyball and Fisher’s DB.com boards. Some good folk amongst the clutter.

appy polly loggies to Roddy
He looks (superlargenumber) times better now than he did a few weeks ago. I jumped the gun on the Dojo over Roddy talk. My bad.
Pretty cool win last night, getting great games from Roddy, Haywood, and Odom. Also usual quality from Marion and Jet.
The recent use of Yi over Wright confuses me a little. Is it just so they can run some of the same pick and pop plays they would with Dirk?
Carlisle
He said last night during his press conference that it’s kind of a coin flip when deciding between those two. Depends on match ups, etc.
Yi definitely better fits the mold of a Mavs PF, though.
Last night it probably had something to do with all of the big bodies the Jazz have in the front court. Yi is actually a pretty stout guy, and Wright….is not.
yi
He “fits the mold” in the sense that he has more in common with Dirk than Wright does, but I don’t think he’s the better player.
I like the floor spacing and his size, but I think Wright’s athleticism and activity can change games. Like Roddy and Ian before him, I think he just needs time. Yi I was never terribly impressed with. He’s unique, but I don’t think he’s much more than an extra body who will occasionally hit a jumpshot. And I think he’s three years older than he’s listed.

I've been having this same discussion off and on all day on another board.
The bottom line for me is that I don’t think either one of them has done enough in the NBA to justify being too upset either way. They’re the same age (officially) and have their own particular skill sets. Neither of them has ever been around a coaching staff like the Mavs.
I do think the Mavs view Yi as a better fit at PF and, due to significantly more court time, they might view him as more likely to add to a real rotation at some point this season.
But I do get excited any time Wright is in the game.
come playoff time it's unlikely to matter
Carlisle would never play Wright in the playoffs unless it was a blowout or emergency situation, anyway, and hopefully the team will be healthy enough soon that playing Yi 18 minutes a night like they have lately will be unthinkable.
Still, I think Wright is a player. His understanding of team defense is well behind the rest his game right now, but consistent minutes(and some extra weight room sessions) could eventually make him, at worst, a super sub off the bench, I think. I also think the only reason he isn’t in that role for somebody right now instead of relegated to victory cigar duty in Dallas is his injury record. 1500+ career minutes with an 18.3 PER; at some point, this can’t be just an accident, right?
by Alan Smithee on Jan 28, 2012 3:16 PM CST up reply actions
Yep
I agree with pretty much everything you said there.
I have enough faith in Carlisle that I just assume that behind the scenes, Yi has been getting things right a little more often than Wright and yeah, he may be a better fit.
I’d like to see Wright get more minutes as a third center though.
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
Did the sources strike you as reputable
enough for me to spend some time digging around? Was it pre or post-draft speculation?
Yeah.
Yeah.

I'm a little surprised.
He put up 17 and 10 and then got benched.
And of course Tyrus immediately began playing his best ball.

Yes... that will work out well.
Blatche loves to show #want.
Match AIDS is fierce.
Maybe I shouldn’t trade for every headcase.

Mike Brown turning to Kapono, desperate for some shot-making. Lakers are about to go 13 consecutive games w/o scoring 100 for 1st time ever.
Depending on health and #want
Love may find himself traded for picks in three weeks.

They should trade for Dwight
get bounced in the first round. And have Kobe make Dwight miserable enough that he leaves in the summer anyways.
