    We have enough roster spots available. Many tradeable contracts and non guaranteeds that we can always cut if need be.

    I was thinking the same thing, Who do you think will get dealt? Maybe this signing was in contingent Daryl pulling a trade.

    This reminds me of the Reggie Williams signing a couple seasons ago.

    Great pick up...serviceable shooter. I like it. He always played well against us.

    And looks like the writing on the wall is complete for Terry, and his age has finally caught up.

    What makes this even nicer is that a lot of Mavs fans were looking forward to signing MT along with DWill. Hasn't been a good offseason for them. Houston been screwing with them.

    IDK, outside of TJones. Can't do a snt with KJ because of BYC. I like TJones and think he will improve but you can't keep him and DMo because they both are about to become free agents and you will lose one for sure next year.

    I hope we are trading for good pg and if so it will require more talent than Jones. I don't want to give up Capela but if you want someone good you have to give up something good.

    I don't have no complaints on this pickup. Nice smart move Morey. I give you the props you deserve on this. We needed a combo scorer off the bench.
