Devean George signed with the Mavs today, for a two year deal. Lets take this time for a moment of silence..................... Thanks for all the memories Devean! You may not be one of the brightest players on the court, but your clutch threes and your contributions to the three peat will always be remembered. Best of luck Gump!
Hope he does well in Dallas. I'm gonna miss him because whenever he played well I usually felt better about the team as whole. Good Luck Dev
I always thought he was a great spark off the bench and he was always clutch for us on D and 3 pointers
George was awesome Ill miss him truly. He was great off the bench with his hustle defense and 3s. Hope he does well in Mavs
Farewell, now Kobe is the only one left from the 3-Peat. Guess it's time to make a new one... works for me!
Will miss him greatly. He was a spark off the bench and always gave us clutch three's. Adios Mr. George.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheBlackMamba:</div><div class="quote_post">...Am I supposed to miss him? Never lived up to his potential.</div> Harsh one Anyways, thnx for the time and gl in the future...
I mean, I appreciated what he did. But George always had the potential to be a 13-17 PPG, 4-6 RPG kind of guy. He was just always injured. When I think of him, I think of disappointment.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Ming637:</div><div class="quote_post">Doesn't Devean George look like Ice Cube? </div> heh, I guess I can see it... I always thought he looked like a duck... I have no idea why...

He was just always injured. When I think of him, I think of disappointment.</div> How could he be a 13-17PPG and 4-6RPG type player when he wasn't given the minutes? In the 03-04 season, he was given 23.8mpg(the most in his career) and he only started half of the games in that season. It's not easy to come off the bench and give a great stats, especially when you have limited minutes. Even though he only had 23.8mpg that season, he still averaged 7.4PPG and 4RPG. I would assume if he played around 35mpg, he would have averaged around 11 points and 5-6 rebounds per game. It wasn't easy for him to break into the starting rotation when he had to prove he was a better guard than Kobe and a better defensive specialist than Ric Fox. Don't forget he also played a key part in our championship years as a role player and gave us great outside shooting despite his inconsistant minutes and injuries. Throughout his career as a Laker, he played 18 minutes per game and gave us 6 points and 3.3 rebounds per game. If he was given more minutes and a regular spot starting, he would have averaged something like 13-15 points and 5-7 rebounds per game. Even during our downfall, you never heard him voice his opinion on the Shaq-Kobe situation or anything else to do with the management or Kobe despite the fact that alot of other players did. He didn't try to worm himself out of a contract when we lost Shaq, as Karl Malone did, he stayed faithful. I'm not trying to say he was the best player in the world, but he was a key role player with decent stats for the inconsistant minutes he was given and he takes alot of unnecessary stick from fans.
