Artest to Houston. Mavs Do Nothing.

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

While I did not expect Artest to become a Maverick, it was because I thought he might actually stick it out in Sacramento. But tonight’s headlines tell us that Ron Artest will be headed to Houston in a trade for Bobby Jackson and probably Donte Greene.
Another opportunity bites the dust. How did Mark Cuban and [...]

The NBA Comes to OKC

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

It is ironic that I am the one actually writing this post, seeing how I really have no connection to Oklahoma and my good friend Daniel does. He is also one of those dreaded Sooner fans. I don’t hold it against him as it makes for some interesting friendly wagers.

Gerald Green joins the Mavs

A second move made by Dallas this week was to get a verbal agreement from Gerald Green, former NBA Dunk Contest winner and runner-up. At 6′8″ and 200 pounds, Green could be the inside help the Mavs have needed when Dirk is off the floor. “Could” be.
Dallas will be Green’s fourth team in as many [...]

Diop Returns

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

It’s a less than exciting day in Dallas where we receive the news that one of our own is returning home. DeSagana Diop was a part of the Devin Harris/Jason Kidd trade last season that many Dallas fans are still questioning. Was it the right move to make? Is Jason Kidd worth the loss of [...]
