No surpise, but I was hoping we would get more for him.

Get More,

Terry's an all-star caliber point guard. Walker's a fat piece os $hit that shoot too much!!

[Guest e-bone]

Terry shot 14.8 times per game last season, and Walker had 13.8 SPG last season. Walker shot .428% from the field, while Terry shot .417% from the field. Terry also had less than 1 assist per game more than Walker, and Terry is an All Star caliber PG while Walker is a fat piece of **** that shoots too much? Interesting logic.

uh-ebone, I think you said the "s" word.

If nothing else, it helps us out at PG...I would also have liked to have gotten more for Walker though.

I was just using the same phrase as GreenBat.

Walker is a douchebag......Terry, Henderson, and quite possibly Laettner could be traded later on.....Terry is a good player, and will do more to help the Mavs, if he isnt traded again, than the shimmy sham good for one 3 pointer a game Walker.

[Guest e-bone]

Why is everyone so high on Terry? His stats are actually worse than Walker's and he is a shoot first, pass second PG. The last thing the Mavs need is a PG who shoots 15 times a game and shoots a low percentage. The Mavs need a PG who will pass the ball to the other guys on the team that can actually shoot.

[Coach]

I just like having Terry because the Mavs need a veteran point to spell/teach/start over Harris and he is also good trade bait.

Cooperstein is convinced the Mavs have done a lot of these moves to get one guy...he doesn't know who, but he thinks the Mavs have something under their sleeve.

I would have traded Walker for a six piece chicken nuggets and a barbecue sauce.

That's being awfully cruel...to the chicken nuggets.

We were overstocked at foreward buy 2 forewards, and we dumped both of them. We needed a PG and some semblance of a center, and we got good fillers. Harris and Daniels are the PGs of the future but both need a vet to help them learn Terry does that. It will be Terry and Daniels and Harris will take over next year for Terry.

I would like to see a linup this year of Daniels, Terry, Finley, Howard, Dirk, but that will only get us so far. We need a true center (7'3"+ and big) which means our forwards would be Finley and Dirk. Howard really could start at forward on any other team in the NBA.

Speaking of centers is Bradley still on the team? He played a grand total of 8 minutes last season I was wondering if we released him?

Who couldn't use one of those guys.

The thing is, they traded for a 7'6 guy and got ripped for it.

What the Mavericks really need is a 8' 500lb center, and they can trade Jason Terry to get him. Then trade Shawn Bradley for LeBron and 1986 Magic Johnson. That's all they have to do to win, so I don't know why they don't do it.

Man I hope so. I long for the day that I turn on the radio and hear: "This summer was quickly going down as the weirdest, least productive off-season in recent history for the Dallas Mavericks...until today..."

No man, Jason Terry is Pete Maravich incarnate.
