I have seen so many different rosters being posted here on IsH. This is the actually roster the Mavs got now.
PG: Jason Kidd (38)- Rodrigue Beaubois (23) Delonte West (28)
SG: Vince Carter (34) - Jason Terry (34) Rodrigue Beaubois (23)
SF: Shawn Marion (33) - Lamar Odom (32) Corey Brewer (25)
PF: Dirk Nowitzki (33) - Lamar Odom (32) Brandan Wright (24) Brian Cardinal (34)
C: Brendan Haywood (32) - Ian Mahinmi (24) Brandan Wright (24)
The last rumor is that Rudy Fernandez is getting bought out or traded. The same goes for Corey Brewer. Fernandez is still in Spain, struggling with some travel documents. I got the feeling we wont see him in a Mav jersey.
Anyway, for those who don't know who Rodrigue Beaubois is, I recommend you guys to watch this video clip posted below. His sophomore year was ruined because of injuries, but he is back and 100% clear to play

Tyson Chandler went to the Knicks. He was the anchor defense for the Mavs. Some say he was the reason why the Mavs won. Yes, he was a big part of it and I doubt that Haywood will come close to his defense. If the Mavs suddenly stop playing defense this season and playoff, a lot of people will blame it on not having Chandler there anymore. What people need to know is that Dwayne Casey is no longer a ass. coach for the Mavs. He was the guy who was screaming on the sideline every time the Mavs was playing defense. I believe he was a much bigger factor then people can imagine.
This team will cost close to 70mill in salaries this season. Next offseason most of the contracts runs out. If the Mavs use the amnestie on Brendan Haywood or Shawn Marion, the Mavericks will have 28mill in cap space. That means the Mavs got the money to sign both Deron Williams and Dwight Howard.
