Look at this rape!!!

What happened to the Knicks, Rockets, Wizards deal?

No one wanted Jared Jefferies....Knicks were trying to include him as well.

Another horrendous trade where the contending team is receiving a gift. Bullshit..

That's life in the financially crippled NBA. Half the teams are bankrupt and will do anything to save a buck. The work stoppage of 2011 will shit all over the NFL work stoppage.

Stern knows that these players live paycheck to paycheck (despite making millions they keep it all as cash, and carry it in their pockets) so he can crush them. The owners want them to all take a pay cut.

Maybe they can work some sort of system out that doesn't cause such imbalanced trades that are motivated by money, but for the meantime, these trades will continue to be made.

wow at this trade, i think this trade might put them really close to the lakers now caron butler is an upgrade from howard and i love haywood him and dampier will work good at center. this trade also adds toughness, something they lack.

 

[Point Blank]

Kobe on the trade:

ProBasketball Talk: Kobe, does the trade put the Mavericks on par with the Lakers? “No question,” Kobe said Saturday when asked by our girl Gina Miller whether the trade moves the Mavs to the Lakers’ level. “I hate to say it, but it’s true. … Trust me, I don’t like it by any stretch of the imagination. But it’s a great move by (Dallas). It pains me to say it. But you guys made two great pickups.”

Let's hope so.

Well it's another case of how you rebuild in the NBA. You rebuild by taking on big money, soon-to-be expiring deals. It's not just teams saving money, it's also teams rebuilding. It's like trading for prospects in baseball.

 

[Palooza]

Fuck you Leftwich.

I thought I was really going to get to see a rape.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

I have a boner at the thought of using the Mavs in a 2k game right now.

Adding the big man in Haywood was a huge move. Having 2 capable starters with him and Damp is going to be big come playoff time when foul trouble can be a big issue. Josh Howard seemed to hit a wall in Dallas.. being demoted to the bench and such. A change of scenery should do him well. Drew Gooden was playing well when he got PT, too. Of course, the Mavs get the best player in the trade in Butler.. he'll go a long way in providing a defensive presence and another scoring threat in the 4th. This team is fucking dangerous with this move.. Butler and Marion holding down the wings defensively is going to be very tough for teams in the West.

 

[FedEx227]

Howard also seemed to stop driving. He became a midrange wing jump shooter which doesn't complement Dirk at all.

If the NBA and NFL do have a work stoppage in 2011 i may just off myself.

I'm sorry if i mislead someone as to thinking there was actual rape happening in this thread. It was much worse. It was a Washington Wizard's genocide.

Yeah dude that shit is miserable. I thought I was going to see something awesome.

lol @ everyone acting like Haywood is anywhere near top60 centers in the league


obviously none of you have never even seen the stupid fuck play. If he touches the ball on the offense, you might as well hand the ball to the other team. They call him the HTO. The human turnover. His ball handling is worse than that of Shaq. Atleast Shaq knows not to watch the ball when he dribbles. He can't shoot over 30% from anywhere outside the paint, and even in the paint he's less than a 40% shooter. I've seen him miss wide open dunks and layups too many times to count.

Defensive wise.. all these amazing out of nowhere blocks you see on highlights happen once every 2 or 3 games. The only reason he gets these blocks is by leaving his man wide open and acting as the backside help. Typically, when he leaves his man for the block it ends up in an easy bucket for the other team.

Rebounding he's alright at, as long as he's facing a player under 225 lbs. The kid had no muscle whatsoever, and relies on his reach to rebound. If your facing a center with any kind of muscle, you might as well have haywood sit on the 3 point line when a shot goes up.





I'm going to miss Butler though

LOL @ the bold..

What is this nukka talking about? Brendan Haywood is 19th in the NBA in FG percentage (with a few of the guys above him taking A LOT less shots) with 56.1%, which is pretty damn good. Hes 5th in the league in blocks. 12th in the NBA in rebounds.. all of that equals a pretty solid true center, which are hard to come by in the NBA now-a-days. Im not going to deny Haywood isnt the brightest player, thats why it took him so long to finally find his game.. but when hes been healthy the last 2-3 years, hes been very serviceable to say the least, this year especially. Hes going to help the Mavs a lot, Haywood has really turned into a dangerous defensive player around the net because hes been swatting balls at a pretty good rate (2.1 per game).

 

[Dez]

So im watching OKC play the Mavs and seeing Caron, Haywood, and DeBrick in Mavs blue depresses me.

 

[Argath]

lol @ Haywood tonight


1-4 from Free Throw - but but but he's such a good shoter!

Blocked 4 times, including twice in one possesion

he has 4 boards right now, 2 are from getting Offensive boards from his own misses


He's also given up 40+ points in the paint. Lol @ anyone who thought he would make Mavs interior D any better than what it was. Most of the Thunder points are not just from layups, they're from WIDE OPEN layups after haywoods LEAVES HIS MAN like I always said.

Haywoods only points so far this game are from 1 freethrow and his man leaving to double team the ballhandler only to let haywood have an unguarded dunk.

 

[Argath]

Oh look, Ibaka just shot the ball OVER Haywood for an easy 2.


Jesus Christ Haywood sucks. Thank god the wizards got rid of him

LOL @ you at saying his stats in his FIRST game here in Dallas

This isn't fucking high school basketball, it takes time to learn a new system. Give him a week to get better situated with the new guys before you start talking.

And how long did it take for him to get used to Washington? 6 years?

Is Dallas really going to waste 6 years on him?

He was doing the same EXACT shit in Washington that he is doing tonight, I really don't see a difference. He had 1 good HALF of a year. Any player could have a good half of a year. Everyone here is acting like Brendon Haywood is a mix between KG and Dwight Howard. The dude is nothing more than serviceable tall body for the time being.


Edit: and getting blocked 4 times does not happen because you are not used to a system. The guy straight up sucks on the offensive end. Most of his baskets are when there are no defenders in the area
