Another player that we let get away that would be a real help is Jamison. The Mavs kept Howard and Stackhouse and let Jamison go to Washington. As for the play of the young inexperienced players, it is interesting how well Julian Wright played for New Orleans. It is amazing what true athletes can do. The Mavs wouldn't know they don't have any. Personally I would like to see the Mavs go after some young players who want to make a name for themselves. These old guys don't really care. They have made their Millions. Do you think Kidd is that driven when he is making 17 million. The Dirk's of the world who don't play for the money are few and far between.

Do some research before you trash somebody like that. ihatekidd,

I have always been the biggest Avery supporter but enough is enough. The future of this time is on red alert. Most of the basketball 'people' are saying we won't even make the playoffs next year, yet I disagree with that. Devin Harris may not have been a hall of fame point guard but he is/was a productive, starting point guard that is explosive and can play defense. Now let's forget about the past. Devin and Diop are gone. Kidd is here for at least another year and if given the reigns to run the floor (no offense to Avery but Kidd is a HOF point guard...something Avery never was) this team could go to a whole other level. I disagree with the comment that Kidd doesn't compliment Josh...Josh used to be a slasher which is the kind of player Kidd loves!! You need players to run and slash and trailers to hit for the spot up 3. Yet Josh somehow got the idea he is the best jump shooter on the team and forgot what the paint looks like. Is there any way we can get Marion or Deng? Mavs Fans, it looks like the glory days are slowly fading and with the age of this team a 'rebuilding phase' seems inevitable. Thank you Avery for getting us excited enough to be disappointed. Thank you to Dirk for everything you have ever done. You have been everything everyone expected and much, much more. MFFL...it's not over. I predict a game 7, Josh, Bass, and Kidd will have big games in Game 5. Oh yeah...go Mavs!!

You could probably trade J-splif in the offseason, but considering his trade value is at an all-time low, let's see if the next coach can turn him around. Jet plays with tremendous heart and I'm curious to see how the next coach will utilize him better, We know Damp is very inconsistent, and not having diop really hurts him. Mavs should seriously think about bringing diop back in the offseason.If not, maybe damp can be traded in 2 years for a good backup or role player.....kidd-will play here next year, with a slight chance he may be traded next year if things bottom out....might fetch a tie 2 player or draft pick....Sadly, we will be known as a team like the sacramento kings, very good, but not great,but much worse.....as chokers (or like my buddy said from philly- man, you guys "AVERY'ED out again?!!) You Mavs fans have problems…..I have solutions!
1)Fire Avery…..nba finals meltdown, dubious first round exit last year, and quick first round exit this year……players (not just josh) have tuned him out….Did you know that Avery didn’t let his players talk to the media today & canceled the mavericks practice today while yelling to them about not listening to him and tuning him out?-not only does this prove he has lost the team, but speaks volumes about his upcoming axing……mavs will improve as soon as he leaves the room.
2)The kidd trade was a monumental mistake that set the franchise back 2-3 years, but that just make it easier to get rid of these ancient players…..

If you are going to implement that offense you have to have more than one player who can make a freaking jump shot. A coach can diagram all he/she wants but you have to have players make shots. I have located the player formerly known as Josh Howard. His name is Julian Wright. I can’t believe that someone called for Mike D’Antoni to replace Avery.

I'm sure the Mavs would have been totally lost and not in the playoffs if we let the PG come in and change their whole style of play. It's easier to allow one guy to adjust to a team than the whole team adjust to him. Who knows, next season might be a turnaround when Kidd has more practice time with his new teammates and coach. And to think, Kidd adjusted to his new team and some of the players couldn't even adjust to him, *cough* Josh *cough*. Hasn't been the same since the trade and it was Kidd who re-adjusted and quite frankly hasn't done a bad job in my opinion, of what he's been thrown into. mike,

If you have a personal issue with Jason, that's your problem. It's not his fault that the idiot coach won't let him control the offense. A future Hall of Fame PG that isn't allowed to run the offense... absolutely ridiculous!! The Kidd trade was not a bust. If you have a personal issue with Jason, that’s your problem.
