Mavs to sign Eddie Jones

Mavs to Sign Eddie Jones
Well last year,when Jones was a FA,the Mavs failed to sign him.EJ went to the Heat.But this year he'll go to the Mavs.Interesting to see how he plays there.Well they losed Croshere but still acquiring EJ is nice.

Very good move for the Mavs, who needed another old-school Finley-like player and not a player like Croshere or Van Horn. He'll bring experience and toughness, and you'll see some crucial shots made by him this year.

I was hoping he would finish his career in Miami and get a ring this year.

Sat Aug 04, 2007 11:07 am

it's just a move... not bad not good either
he won't be much productive anywhere he goes

Sat Aug 04, 2007 11:09 am

thats not a bad signing, will be interesting to see how long he'll stay

If you start one more topic about a signing and then change it to a "hub", I will put my hands through internet and take out your intestines and eat them in front of innocent, uncorrupted babies.

You eat intestines? *now where did that barfing emotion go?*

Sat Aug 04, 2007 11:32 am

Wait a sec,if the Mavs already have Eddie Jones,Will they go for posey?

Sat Aug 04, 2007 11:36 am

good signing by the mavs, solid player who can put some points on the board at times

Sat Aug 04, 2007 12:02 pm

Looks like Maurice Ager wont get to play till his 8th year in the league, maybe.

ok punch me in the face, shit on my grave, whatever i gotta ask

whats is a hub? i dont get what you mean by changing it to a hub?

He can defend, score when needed and he seems to have transitioned smoothly into a smaller role as a veteran backup. A team like the Mavericks seems like a good fit.

Sat Aug 04, 2007 2:58 pm

Will he finish his career there?Well if they're champs it's a good ending.

I dont think eddie will do much in dallas... josh howard will be a monster though... if he grows balls and plays like the EJ of old he may help them when dirk and the rest of the starting line up is tired... just my 5cents

When dirk is tired? Dont you mean when dirk chokes and passes the ball in clutch situations. :lol:

Dallas is trying to do what Miami did and load their team full of stars. Dirk, Howard, Terry, Stack, Jones, Harris, ...it really doesnt matter. They wont be able to beat the suns or spurs in a 7 game series. They still dont have that player that can dominate in the last 5 minutes of the game.

Sat Aug 04, 2007 5:25 pm

Dont see him doing much with the Mavs but take away some of Devins playing time.

Sat Aug 04, 2007 5:27 pm

-Young Buck-, Dallas was in the finals last year if you don't remember clearly, and they won the first 2 games of that series. So Dallas is definitely a contender in the west. And in no way are they trying to stack their team with stars, they are all role players with the exception of Dirk and maybe Terry. Dirk can dominate the last 5 minutes of a game as can any other of the players you named.

Sat Aug 04, 2007 6:27 pm

Dirk and Josh Howard are the stars. Terry is close to what you call a "star" but not much. The rest are all basically role players, not stars.

And the Mavs beat them both during the run to the Finals', and the series win over the Spurs was a rare burst of Dirk clutch-ness. Don't forget that Game 5 was a close call there too. So Dallas showed they CAN beat the Spurs as long as they can answer Tim Duncan. The accusation of no longer being a contender is laughable even when it isn't biased.

1. the mavs didnt make the finals last year
2. dirk cant dominate the last 5 minutes otherwise they would have beaten golden state last season and took out miami in the finals the previous season
3. fully agree, this is a team of solid role players, not stars outside of dirk and terry.

I'm pretty sure the Mavs were in the 2006 NBA Finals unless I'm going crazy.

Wait, the Heat lose Eddie Jones and get Smush Parker and now you think that since they are free of Eddie they can win another ring?
