I know this is just speculation, but with the draft this close it deserves some discussion. ESPN.com has the story as a part of their Insider report, which you have to subscribe to. However, I've heard this on the radio today as well as Dallasbasketball.com. We would deal Michael Finley to the Bulls for Donyell Marshall, Marcus Fizer, one other player, and their 1st round draft pick (7th overall). ohmy.gif How much better would this make us? Finley has had his ups and downs but is a great team leader. He showed me a lot in the playoffs this past season. Perhaps do it to beef up at power forward, and then use the 7th pick to get a shooting guard? What's everyone think of this?

It always seems like the loser in a one-fer trade is the team that gives up the best player, in this case Finley. Bad trade unless there's someone at # 7 who the Mavs really want. This is a deep draft, so maybe...

I don't think the Mavs will do that. The other player is Eddie Robinson. Robinson can jump as well as anyone in the league, Marshall is a servicable post forward and Marcus Fizer could be pretty good if he gets his head screwed on right. The Bulls have no use for him however with Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry. I think the Mavs would take Pietrus from France who is a SG and the best perimeter defender in the draft. Finley is a Chicago hero, and this trade would be great for the Bulls, it would vault them into the fray of the East, but I don't see the benefits for the Mavs that would outweigh trading a fan favorite and franchise pillar.

I can tell you pretty much what the Mavs are thinking and that they are wrong in thinking this. They're thinking "hey, we have scoring so let's get some guys who aren't afraid to bang a little and play a bit of defense." Neither Marshall nor Fizer are amazing rebounders or defenders really. Either is pretty much Eduardo Najera with a little more scoring and a little less hustle. What they need is a b ig man, a real honest to goodness, no three pointer shooting, big man. This doesn't do that.

The Mavs got Josh Howard in the first round, which I was excited about, they needed a perimeter defender more than anything else. That Finley trade will never happen now because the Bulls got Hinrich (good pick), and I think the Mavs wanted Pietrus (who went to Golden State).

They drafted some Chinese dude in the second round, but Cuban said that pick would be traded to Denver for Houston's second pick next year.

On another note, how in the heck does Luke Walton get drafted in the early second round? He averaged 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. If his last name wasn't Walton he would be talking to European teams right now. I guess he and Madsen will battle it out in the preseason to see who gets the right to sit at the end of bench and wave a towel as the token white guy.

      UC Davis to MWC

      SAC St. should eventually get an invite from either the MWC or PAC 7. The Montana and Dakota schools seem happy in 1AA and the cost to move up is high when you add the NCAA $5 million upgrade fee, $2 million entry fee[ MWC] , 20 football scholarships, and stadium expansions to accommodate at least 25,000 fans. NDSU has a covered stadium that seats about 20,000 ( I didn't check the other 5 Dakota schools) so they might get a pass.

      Mountain West looking to add NIU/Toledo

      When CUSA last imploded both schools were invited to join the MAC as a package. WKU was all in, MTSU was not so they were both stuck in CUSA. N. Illinois , certainly much to my surprise, is moving to the MWC , who might be in the market for another football only school. The MAC bylaws require their members to place all their sports in the conference so unless they are changed N.Illinois must find a new home for their 'others." U.Mass is rejoining the MAC so they probably will stand pat. I think the N.Illinois victory over the Fighting Irish may have gone to their head plus their fans are tired of weeknight games that make it hard to attend for those who live out of town.

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      Hodge has us more than middle of the road in the AAC. We are definitely in the top 3. If it was not for a bad shooting night for our two top scorers against Memphis, we would be at the top.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      I can't disagree with anything you're saying if ACC comes poaching and we're sitting here with Rice, Tulsa, and ULM/LAT as our most local conference peers. If that is the case, and it's a somewhat likely scenario, we need to be looking into the PAC as a viable option and not hush-hush turning them down. If anything, we probably should be lifting our skirt a little bit to keep it open as an option.

      Power Conferences making their move to take full control

      Seems the b10/sec are so worried about making sure they generate the absolute most revenue versus their peers that they’ve lost sight of what excites people about college sports in the first place. Until one of them relents and settles for setting caps in spending, and potentially sharing revenue, I don’t see how this changes. I think that the power brokers believe that most current fans will just adopt their local big state or closest big brand and continue to follow college sports. Time will tell if they are right. For me, I will not. If it gets to the point where UNT no longer has a chance to be in the pool, my interest will evaporate overnight. Maybe they don’t care and assume that enough will that they’ll keep growing their own brands and revenues.
