Looks like Tyronn Lue is coming to the Mavericks. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Hawks Blog is reporting:
Had a post-game phone conversation with Tyronn Lue and he says it’s official, he’s signing with the Dallas Mavericks. Lue was waived Friday by Sacramento and had his choice of teams (Dallas, Phoenix, Denver, Charlotte, etc.) in need of a veteran backup point guard to help them through the end of the season and the playoffs. He fielded calls from good friends in Phoenix (Shaq, Grant Hill, etc.) but said he opted for the opportunity in Dallas because of the role he’ll play backing up a future Hall of Famer in Jason Kidd.

| Assuming that Avery let’s him play he should help the Mavs out as a back-up PG. He’s shooting 43.5% on 3-pointers so far this year, something the Mavs have been lacking with their 34.4% 3-point shooting on the year. Actually, since Avery likes to have his shooters on the floor at the end of games, maybe it’ll be Lue out there instead of Kidd, who is boasting 36.5% from 3-point land this season. |

It does not matter who the Mavericks pick up because Avery will not play them at all. Avery is an egomaniac. Its all about his system and nothing to do with adapting to his players strengths.

I totally agree with Shawn Bradley. The same half court game is leering its ugly head and that’s why they’re 4-4 since signing Kidd.

I also agree with Mr. Bradley. This is AVERY’S TEAM. He is not going to play Tyronn Lue. If he won’t let the reigns off of Jason Kidd at PG, who will he ever trust?
I miss Don Nelson. I really do. Nelson reached into his bench and put players in situations where they were most likely to succeed. His style of basketball may never win him a championship, but at least he adapted his game plan to his players and to his opponents. Avery did that once — game 1 of last years playoffs — but all he did was out think himself and play into Nelson’s hands.
