    I read the post in the OP as 2 years / 21 million, and immediately thought...

    LOL DALLAS!

    He is a hell of a coach...no doubt, but the 49/50 wins he gets out of them will only land them 8 or 7th seed. The west is Still a monster and old treads wear out faster when they are old. They are NOT the spurs

    Top 10 teams include the 8th seed from out West.

    They aren't all contenders! Only the top 4 from the West are contenders, and maybe an East team - but we'll see.

    The **** is with these awful players they're signing? They can't even not overpay for garbage players.

    Aminu was New Orleans 2nd worst player (sorry Austin has you beat), Jefferson was Utah's worst, as was Felton for NY, what on earth is going on there.

    What's up with Woj? The guy hasn't even mentioned like half of the signings this offseason, I though he was trying to report on everything?

    Is there any one guy on Twitter I can follow to keep up with this stuff?

    Now this is a decent signing for them. Aminu isn't overpaid at that price, and he's not a bad wing to have.

    Aminu would have been a good piece to the bench. Athletic, can run the floor and finish above the rim. Not much of a shooter but an average defender and knows his role.

    I rather have Marion though. He is a better defender and has a pretty good post game. I want to steal him away from the Mavs. I hope we can get him.

    Dude can rebound for days, but as a shooter, gross. No thanks. Dallas can have him.

    Nah, not that solid to me. Ellis is streaky and is not a playmaker. PGs don't scare me at all, poor shooters. No inside scoring threat with those Cs. By mid season all of that will start to show. Dirk can't carry them on his back for long.

    Um yeah, random twitter guy, this *might* be the Mavs best offseason ever. That's not really saying much.

    Maybe you can sign Mugsy Bogues to further decrease the size of your backcourt.

    Or dribble.

    Dallas has collected a who's who of washouts and old names. I predict injuries and future trade chips.

    Picked 8th overall; in his three years in the NBA, his averages are 5.8 ppg, 3.9 rpg, .9 apg, and 40 fg%.
