Now that it has come to light that the Mavs have been keeping MadMax out of the league by holding his contract in a secret lock box in hidden in the crypt Cuban sleeps in during the day -- has Vernon's time come again? Inside sources for Maxwell are certain he will invoke his 'flip the bird' rights to nix the trade to the Nets - if he hasn't already. Maxwell is just the type of veteran leader the Rockets could use down the stretch -- his championship history with Houston speaks for itself. Another plus, Maxwell speaks fluent Chinese so Yao won't always be the only member of the Rockets that has to do interviews with Sina. The major hurdle of course is what kind of deal can we put together to entice the Mavs to let go of a contract they have jealously held in secret for the better part of a decade.
For a player with the talent level of Max eight years is just an extended all star break -- he'll come back stronger than ever. Insiders have stated that Max was actually on the short list to play as a reserve in the All Star game this year.
only if he promises to beat the hell out of tmac to toughen him up..................then I'd say yes...............in all seriousness signing Max wouldn't be half ass bad as some of the old guys we've signed in the past (thinks of charlie ward and charles oakley).......he wouldn't help us, but I'm just saying...........
These "insiders" must be a bunch of we todds. How the hell would a player, probably in his 40s, who hasn't played an NBA game in 7 years be a reserve for THIS years All Star game????
i'm all for this. mad max is still quick enough to D up parker and nash and strong enough to guard deron, paul, and davis. he's ron artest in luther head's body. i heard he wants to break kareem's record as the oldest player in all star game history.
The insiders who have been having heated discussions regarding Maxwell are professionals of the highest order I assure you. No one knows Maxwell's true age ~ carbon dating tests have been inconclusive thus far estimates range from 25 to 60, but it matters not as his blood is still pumped by the heart of a champion.
by making a move, do you mean we should bust him out of jail? rebounding coach, big man coach. mad max could be our clutch coach. and if you wuss out in the 4th, he'll try to punch you or throw a free weight atchya. i could bake a file into a cake for that. (look out clutchfans mbr Carl Hererra)
Maxwell is not in jail - that was just a misunderstanding/ rumor started by Mark Cuban to allow him to keep safe one of the most valuable contracts in the modern NBA. The latest talks i'm hearing regarding the big Mavs/ Nets trade are Maxwell for Kidd straight up.
