I just realized how stacked Dallas is now

[Clippersfan86]

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)

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.

I live in LA and am a laker fan....you're wrong about Lamar. He can disappear at times but when he is a 3rd option, he is awesome. And he is a great teammate.

They do, don't they?

Damn, Kidd is ancient.

Damn, Kidd is ancient.

Yea... They are stacked if everybody on their roster was 5 or 6 years younger. They do have good depth... but "stacked" is an exaggeration.

[JohnnyWall]

is Dirk going to be starting at C and Odom at PF? or are they starting Haywood and Odom comes off the bench?

[Rooster]

Most of those are no longer in their prime. I don't think they will win the West this year. Haywood can't anchor the defense. Odom will do a lot of things for them but he ain't Chandler on defense.

we have to see how the new mavs gel first. the old mavs won a ship and that should of been priority number 1 going forward but it wasnt so its hard to tell how these new unproven mavs will fair.

add vince (34) as starter since terry is more effective off the bench

Its an old team. It will be blown up in 2 years.

[sixerfan3511]

They lost

Chandler
Barea
Butler
Stevenson

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

sure..they lost those 4. And Peja. But in reality, neither Butler nor Peja helped them win the title in the end. So they basically lose Chandler, Barea and Stevenson. Added Carter, a healthy Beaubois, Fernandez, West, Odom and Wright. That's pretty damn stacked IMO.

Two years, how about six months.

A big reason why Dallas beat Miami was due to the play of Chandler and Barea. Chandler clogged the paint really well and made it tough for Miami to get easy shots...Barea came up with big shots and plays. Can they replace those kind of plays? I honestly don't think so....will they win the west? yeah maybe but I think winning it all again may be too tough.

Cuban has assembled the 2005 All Star team.

dallas is really stacked
even though they lost chandler/butler/barea look at what they got back
VC Odom Fernandez that is scary plus the fact that dirk +4 scrubs can win a championship its getting harder to oppose dallas.
