Most people thought he would start over Juwan Howard, score 10 and get 8 RPG. I knew he'd never do it

And while his contract is way too much, the guy is playing as good as I've seen him considering he doesn't start, and when he plays good, the Mavs win.But I got another bad FA signing.Doug Christie.Not cause he cost alot to sign, or has played badly...But because he was hyped when the Mavs signed him as their "defensive stopper" and he only played a few games before he retired.Besides the Mavs have gotten more from Rookie FA's(Josh Powell, Rawle Marshall) and from picking up a guy off the street(Adrian Griffith) than he brougt them.
