Imaging if Deron decided to go to Dallas when he had the chance. Bet he's regretting it now.

Man please, it's not the Nets fault that he can hit water from a boat.

If he had've come here this Mavs team would look COMPLETELY different. Terry would probably be back, Kaman and Mayo likely wouldn't be here, more of the team from last year would probably be here.

I'm pretty sure Jason Kidd would've resigned with the Mavs.

So 'Thank You' Deron

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread

I don't know about all that. A lot of "if's" there. I think Jason Terry signed really early to the Celtics. I think Mark Cuban cleaning house was probably the reason Deron didn't sign with Dallas.

Wrong. The big moves for the Mavs didn't come until pretty late in the offseason. Some of you might remember me whining about the Mavs not making any moves in the offseason for quite some time. You're right in saying Terry was the first to sign with another team, and I might be wrong about him coming back, but more of last year's team would've been back. Kidd would've definitely been back to back up D-Will, Mahinmi wouldn't have been traded, Mayo, Collison, Dahntay Jones and Kaman likely wouldn't be here, although Kaman would have the highest chance of being here. The Mavs would be a very different looking team.

You don't see guys like Kevin Durant or D.Rose getting in trouble with social media. Just to say that not all athletes are dumb and put all their business out there..

I'm excited to see Avery Bradley back healthy. The guy is one of my favorite players to watch, especially when he's picking opposing PG's up full-court all game.

Also, I think Kobe has a twitter account now. He posted a tweet that had his name on it and he has a verified check next to it.



If it really is him, I will be having a good year of from his tweets.

Kevin Durant has actually had some "post & deletes" himself on Twitter...

I don't know about Rose though

Isaiah Thomas and Dennis Scott speaking the truth about the Lakers. Stephen A. Smith was right on as well earlier this morning.

Kobe may be scoring and shooting pretty well but the basketball doesn't move around enough. Howard has been relegated to a role player. Nash has been relegated to a better shooting Ramon Sessions. Yes LA is old but that's no reason to be looking how they do now.

Clippers about to show the Lakers what's really good

I know I say this all the time, but it can't be stressed enough. Miami's PA announcer is the most annoying bastard in the league. It's the first ****ing quarter dude, all your seats aren't even full yet. Must you scream at the top of your lungs for EVERY damn basket Miami makes?

You must have hated Detriot's then when they were relevant in the 2000's. Didn't they have a crazy guy too

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread

Cousins has been playing out of his mind since the suspension, looks like he's going off tonight.

Also Austin Daye has been getting more run and has been making the most of it.

Looks like Deron Williams has finally found out how to hit the broadside of a barn..

Yep, I noticed. I couldn't believe he was shooting over 50 percent the last time I checked the boxscore

I'm glad he's passing more now to. He was always a gifted passer, it was a question of whether he wanted to or not. He could average 4-5 APG if he wanted to, especially with how he operates out of the post. We just need to give Jimmer more burn, but it's hard to do with 3 PG's of seemingly equal talent sharing minutes lol. They all average 10 PPG though.
