I just realized how stacked Dallas is now

[therammingman]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[NewYorkNoPicks]

Yeah Dallas is stacked... if this was 2003. Cuban is still stuck in the early 2000's, still thinks the same players that were good when he purchased the team are good 11 years later.

They could use a center.

But a lineup consisting of...
Kidd - Terry - Marion - Odom - Dirk

..is going to kill teams.

this season will be all about depth and who can survive the brutal schedule. mavs are positioning themselves nicely.

Dallas has to reinvent their team chemistry again in a short offseason/training camp/preseason then eventually short season. i dont see that being stacked. i see that as being prepared for the compressed season.

part of the reason why they won last year was their amazing ball movement and team defense involving chandler. Can Dallas reproduce that or go a different successful route? this year they have more questions than they did at the start of last season. In the end it just tells me Cuban is using this season as a 1 year experiment for the 2012 Free Agency Class.

Kidd/Roddy
Terry/Carter/West/Fernandez/Jones/That herpe thing on West's lip
Marion/some of those SGs
Dirk/Odom
Haywood



Doesn't really stand out as "stacked" to me.

sarcasm?

They're kind'a old.

It's a shame that they couldn't keep Barea or Chandler.

Odom is a nice pick up. He could play SF-PF. Vince Carter is a wonder. He could be good for them or so-so,but Carter isn't getting any younger. West is a solid back up, but doesn't he have a personality disorder that caused him to miss some games?

They could trade them for centers possibly.

They're pretty good on the guards.

[All Net]

They lost

Chandler
Barea
Butler
Stevenson

Yet they are stacked? Still a great team but still worse than last year.

[DStebb716]

sarcasm?

Not at all. Kidd is beyond old, they don't have a center, Odom is lazy sometimes, Carter is old even though I love his play still, Delonte West signing is a joke because he does and always will suck. They're only REAL pieces are Terry, Dirk, Odom, Carter and Beaubois. There are much much much much more stacked teams in the league.

Dallas has gone after too many guys with iq/motor/mental stability issues: VC, Delonte West, Odom, etc, and usually that implies desperation and is not a formula for title contention.

Seriously, this is a team that is now going to rely on contributions from Brendan Haywood, Vince Carter, Delonte West, and Lamar Odom. Does that sound like a recipe for basketball chemistry? Considering guys like Dirk, Marion, Terry, and Kidd are no nonsense, it could frankly turn into a very awkward team that implodes quickly in the first round. I just dont see this team doing anything like what last year's team did.

Dallas is a very stacked team, I'm not concerned with chemistry when guys like Dirk and Jason Terry (for the most part) are solid leaders.

Dallas doesn't have the anchor on defense anymore, but this team is loaded with depth, which is going to be a huge deal with this schedule loaded with a bunch of back-to-backs and a "triback" (3 straight games) as I like to call it.

Your making too big of a deal out of this, guys like Dirk, Terry, Kidd aren't going to accept if Vince Carter or Delonte West play like shit or make any distractions, I don't expect them to either. Delonte seemed to be pretty quiet in Boston from all indications I heard.

Odom's had a pretty IQ, and has never been a big disruption in the locker room at all, so I'm not sure where your getting that from.

[Bladers]

in b4 gino.. the revisionist.

[JohnnyWall]

Do they have the oldest starting line-up in the league right now?

Jason Kidd (38)
Jason Terry (34)
Dirk Nowitzki (33)
Shawn Marion (33)
Lamar Odom (32)
