    Yet another target Morey let slip by. He's a great defender and could have been a great backup to Ariza/Harden. smh....

    That's a really nice deal for Dallas. Hate to say it, but they're going to be a lot better next year. Not contenders, but definitely a Top 10 team, IMO.

    I think I'd rather have Aminu.

    Morey target? Is that what you would want him to do, or something that is known about Morey's plan.

    Even if he was a Morey target (which google-fu doesn't seem to support), Morey is not going to give a role player a player option.

    How many Rockets have player options?

    We better sign someone quick... It's not as bad as it seems, I know. But what it looks like is Dallas is picking up solid players left and right and we are just standing by watching!

    Sign Shawn Marion ASAP Morey!!

    Nah, he's a solid player, but he can't shoot.

    He's a poor shooter though. That defense should overcome that flaw

    Yawn.

    Aminu can't score in an empty gym.

    It's a reason a multiple teams have given up on him.

    Damn, that a great signing for the mavs.

    Harris/Felton/Beaubois
    Ellis/Ledo/Mekel
    Parsons/Jefferson
    Dirk/Aminu/Crowder
    Chandler/Wright/Smith

    Very solid team.

    Omg calm down.....Aminu can't score and his defense is NOT that great. He's a average player. He's a tweener and with slow feet. he gets beat to the rim A LOT.

    All of my friends who are Pelican fans are ecstatic that Aminu is gone, like overjoyed. I think that says a lot.

    all the Mavericks are doing are adding washed up name brand sneakers with no tread. People are getting excited/worried because the old shoes still have the brand on them, but the shoe is worn out. Their newest kicks was our 3rd best player and is now their highest paid player....Cuban is reaching and it's gona cost him more than the money he spent.

    True but I only worry about how their coach will make them serviceable or better than expected
