Dallas recieves Antoine Walker http://www.sportsline.com/nba/fantasy/story/6736448 The trade was Lafrentz, Mills, and Welsch for Walker, who do you think got the better end of the trade?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting YaoMing03-04:</div><div class="quote_post">Oh boy oh boy. ARE YOU KIDDING ME, The Mavs just aqcuied Antoine Walker for Reaf Lafrentz. This has to make them the best of the west. Any comments.</div> I do have a comment. You might think this move is that of pure genious however you need to consider a few things: 1. Walker is now in the West confrence. He use to play really well against the less talented eastern confrence big men. Now, every night he gets to play against the likes of Duncan, KG, and Shaq. He wont play as good last year as he did this year. 2. The Mavericks still cant play defense. They might be able to score 100+ points a night however defense wins you championships.(i.e. Lakers, Spurs) 3. Walker is not a seven footer and in the West, you really need a good big man to sit in the paint, play defense and take up space. Walker is around 6-9 or 6-10. This team will get torched when they play Duncan and San Antonio for the shear fact that they cant stop the post game of these powerhouses. I still would rather have the Lakers, Spurs and Wolves over this team.

Nobody can do a thing with Dirk either. Big man thing is overrated, every team in the league can use a big man really.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting deestillballin:</div><div class="quote_post">Boooooooooo! Bad Trade Then again Cuban might be up to something....</div> How can you hate this trade if you are a Mav fan Dee, esp with how terrible Raef was as a Mav.
Totally unexpected trade.. Wow, the Mavs have alot of all-stars now, but dang, who will play center?! The Duncans and Shaqs of the league will continue to rip them apart.
I just hope Cuban is up to something with Walker, I cant see my Dirk getting ripped to shreds at center.
walker is probably the worst defensive all-star! Although they now have the best offensive starting five in the league, or maybe ever, they still have 0 defense and won't get far in the west.
Is anybody going to read what I wrote, or was that too much text? lol the MDE, nobody stops Duncanm nor Shaq, and that is not because of size all as much as people think, it is about what they can do with the ball. A healthy Fortson, along with Bradley can do the job that this team needs to win.
I think this makes them worse. They have no center, they can't play defense at all, and the West will expose Antoine for what he really is, overrated. Will be interesting on how all these scorers can co-exist on the same team.

This is pathetic.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting allnet:</div><div class="quote_post">You need defence to win championships..and you also need a great post player these days to be sucessful.Which is why the Lakers and Spurs have dominated the title the last 5 seasons....Great defence and two MVP/great post players in Shaq and Duncan. The Mavs starting 5 has amazing scoring power..but they can't stop anyone.....You need defence in the playoffs....Although they will be very exciting to watch.</div> You mean defense? Unless you are Britist I think you spell it with an S..... I think other teams have to worry about stopping the Mavs. Not the Mavs stopping other teams. Is Shaq going to step outside and defend Dirk, when Dirk can blow right past him? Don't think so. Is Tim Duncan, going to step out and guard Antoine when Antonie can blow right by him??? The mavs don't play the greatest defense, but who's going to defend against them? No matter how good you are, you can't stop a offense like this.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Rudeezy:</div><div class="quote_post">Its not the rebounds that concern the Mavs, its the thought about going against Shaq and Yao that scares them. They need a center.</div> As King James said, no one can defend them. So why would you expect the Mavs to do any better?
