Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
How does this help the Mavericks? I dont see a defender on that starting line-up?
Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
Jason Kidd, Josh Howard, Shawn Marion, & Marcin Gortat are all excellent defenders.

Jason Kidd gets exposed by the quicker PG's...
Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
PG-Jason Kidd | JJ Barea
SG-Josh Howard | Jason Terry
SF-Shawn Marion | Josh Howard
PF-Dirk Nowitzki | Shawn Marion
CT-Marcin Gortat | Erick Dampier
Thats your basic 8 man Dallas Mavericks rotation.
Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
Great acquisition.
I'm happy Cuban didn't sit around twiddling his thumbs this off-season. :applause:
Still got Damp's contract for the deadline to get even better if needed.

Quintin Ross at the 3 also and Wright will get some minutes at the 2/3. Good depth on that roster.

What about Hollins and Wright?
Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
What about Beobois? isnt he coming over to play this season?

Hollins is a free agent I think?

This is right. I have been interested in seeing what adding Gortat and Marion will do defensively for Dallas. It basically duplicates two already strong defensive spots (Howard/Marion and Dampier/Gortat), but it does help them cover more of the floor.
They will always have a strong perimeter and a strong interior defender on the floor at the same time.

The Mavs already got a young PG in the draft named Rodrigue Beaubois who's just as fast as Devin Harris.
Re: Mavericks Acquire Shawn Marion
Marion is also good at guarding quick guards isnt he? he usually guarded Tony Parker when the Suns/Spurs met, but then again that was some year back and he's aged :confusedshrug:
