    Yeah, the mid season acquisition was in 2001 as the Jailblazers imploded.

    Remember the ESPN article about March Implosion? It was right after the Lakers and Blazers had identical records and win streaks, then they blew us out. We went on a free fall immediately after.

    I like to remember it to keep perspective. We are so lucky to have this team, period, let alone this lineup. This current roster is probably my favorite of all time (the 1989-92 team being second)

    It seemed like a good idea but instantly the roster thought the front office had no confidence in them and they basically revolted.

    With your track record, that means they'll win the championship this year or next.

    Anyone find it ironic that Mo Williams and Troy Daniels are on the same team now? :lol:

    How about Meyers Leonard for Chandler? Keep Batum and bring Chandler off the bench.
    I didn't think of that. That's hilarious.

    My track record? You mean like how I predicted virtually our exact record and seeding last year? You mean that track record?

    Article is tldr, but posted for the laugh.

    I didn't read it but I'll still try to paraphrase:
    Okay listen now, here's the thing about the New York Knicks. I'll tell you a thing or two about the new York Knicks, okay. The New York knicks aren't very good at basketball. See, it starts here at the pick and roll. The Knicks don't run a good pick and roll, okay. And Caramel Antonio, he's banged up. You can't win when your star player is banged up, alright.

    I totally agree, Rondo has taken more shots than Dirk has in his first 3 games as a Mav. That's BAD basketball.

    He also can't cover the plethora of good point guards in the west.

    How many 7 footer's can do that move at the 2:11 mark of that video?

    I feel like that is the only valid argument at this point. Gotta give the Mavs time to work Rondo into their system before you can claim they will play bad ball with him at point. We all know how big a change it is to add a new PG to the offense. It's like Ulysses S. Grant being traded to the confederates before the civil war.
