The Dallas Mavericks: Enjoy Them While You Can


We live in an instant gratification and reaction world now, there is no denying that fact.  If you win, you're in the pantheon of greatness and if you don't win, no matter what the reason, you're a bum.  Perspective is thrown out the window and things aren't truly appreciated.  If they are ever appreciated, it's well beyond the time to really enjoy it.  While there is time, it's time to look at the value of the past decade of the Mavericks.

Passing The Time: 101Q Series for the Summer #6

For those of you who care, I have some sort of summer cold and feel quite crappy. For those who don't, go out and find a heart, you soul-less beasts!! Despite being under the weather, I'm making an effort to keep you guys entertained in our slow off-season. One more plug for our contributors here at MMB... they are doing a GREAT job finding relevant things to discuss, so I hope you're reading all the fun posts they're... posting.

On to the excitement for today, Hump Day!

1. Who would you rather hump... just kidding. Here are the real questions (all very different) for today's discussion.

13. What other sports would the best players on the Mavericks be well-suited for and why?  If they couldn't play your sport what sport should they play? (and DON'T say handball for Dirk... waaaay to obvious.)

14. What player, past or present, did you have the highest hopes for but didn't live up to your expectations?

15. If you knew Dallas would never win a title would you still root for them? (we've long talked about this one...)

" In Dallas," says Ian," my role may be different. At the moment, I have no certainty. I just know they are very excited by my arrival. They really stressed [that to] me. I appreciate it. It's a real choice chance to join a club that I really wanted. it reminds me a little [of the] season where I left Le Havre to arrive in Pau, [where] Gordon Herbert and President Pierre Seillant called me personally to tell me they wanted to hire me."

Beaubois is not the only Mav's frenchman vying for moar PT "[A] good World can only have positive repercussions for the future in the club. It's good for confidence and your club can see what you can do well on a floor. "

Don't you hate the Lakers? (AP Photo/Reed Saxon)

In Part 1, the early days of the franchise were mentioned as the Mavs had grown from a losing expansion team to a near playoff contender. Now, in Part 2, we  focus on the first couple of Mavs Playoff runs!

Trading pieces: Value vs. Production.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair!(AP Photo/Tony Dejak)

Many people on this website have been talking about several trades to make Dallas stronger.

From the Chandler trade, to the possibility of acquiring Paul, to Fernandez, it's all about the battle of who we can get for who we give up. These are the basic ethics of any kind of trade, be it basketball or at a marketplace in India. What I was wondering, is to us Mavericks fans, what players have more value than they can produce for. This is possibly one of the most important factors in pulling off a one sided trade. Giving up the image of a great player, for the production of a great player. It'll all make sense after the jump.

Grading the Mavs' season: Shawn Marion

I wonder what Lisa thinks of how Marion looks.... :) (AP Photo/Matt York)

                After grading Jason Kidd, it seems that most of MMB thought favorably of him this past season, giving him mainly 7’s and 8’s. Now we get onto the next player on our report card, Shawn Marion.

On another note, the remaining players I have left on these are JET, Butler, Haywood, and Roddy B. If there’s anyone I left out that you guys want to see, make sure and say it in the comments. 

Poll
Rate Marion's 09-10 season, with 1 being the lowest (Kwame Brown) and 10 being the highest (Kobe).

Sorry for that little hiatus there, folks. Thankfully the authors on MMB are filling in with some nice features while I'm busy shuffling around boxes. I hope you're all taking the time to read these great pieces of sports journalism!

Today finds us at our 5th installment of this silly question series. Our queries for Sunday are along the same vein as the previous two, so you don't need any long answers. And for that reason, I'm giving you FOUR (I know, it's a lot) questions to answer.

Here we go:

9. What one unsung player in the league would you take in a heartbeat and why?

10. Who is the most overrated player on the Mavs?

11. Who is the most underrated player on the Mavs?

12. Who is the most overrated player in the league?

Grading the Mavs' season: Jason Kidd

How old does Kidd look in this picture?!?(AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez)

        To be honest, Dirk was probably the easiest person to grade on the roster. He earned mainly 9’s and 10’s, which he definitely more than deserved. Now, getting into the meat of the team, judging player’s grades should become much harder.

Poll
Rate Kidd's 09-10 season, with 1 being the lowest (Kwame Brown) and 10 being the highest (Kobe).

"La première partie de saison j'ai pas mal joué mais, très vite, sans explications, je suis resté sur le banc.
Je me suis posé beaucoup de questions, j'ai commencé à cogiter avant de me dire que je devais prendre ce qu'on me donnait sans chercher à trop comprendre. "

"The first part of the season I have not played badly but very quickly, without explanation, I stayed on the bench.
I asked [myself] many questions, I began to cogitate before telling me that I had to take what they gave me without trying to understand too."
